For what it is worth, we use Statseeker and Zabbix.  Statseeker monitors the 
network and Zabbix monitors the servers and services.

You might look at Statseeker, we have been running it for 2 years now and keeps 
getting better.

We love PRTG. Only drawback might be that is MS Windows only application (to 
run the software on, it can monitor anything).


One of the key things we like better than any of the *nix based free 
alternatives (zabbix, observium, nagios, cacti, etc) is that it's not dependant 
on the OS scheduling to kick off jobs (ie. collect SNMP stats). This means that 
if you need to debug something PRTG will monitor at 1 sceond intervals if you 
want (although not officially supported, it will still do it). This is in 
contrast to most of the *nix ones that I've seen that are limited to 1 minute 
intervals from the OS scheduler (cron).


I like that its a tool that does a single job and does it well. It's reasonably 
priced (although certainly not free) and I've always received good support on 
any problems I've had with it (can get easy access to the actual devs for the 
program and the CEO sometimes responds to my support queries !).

I'm sounding a bit like a sales droid, but it's one of the few pieces of 
software that I've used over the years that I really like. I have absolutely no 
affiliation with the company that makes it.



regards,
Tony.
