I've used Nagios in the past but am using Zabbix now. It is agent based
and has discovery, and is a lot easier to use than Nagios (templates,
groups, etc.).
It also provides access control, so you can groups devices by client or
department, so those users can see only their monitors.
Zabbix can also use proxies to run checks for larger environments. I've
had performance problems with Nagios and Cacti monitoring only a few
hundred servers.

What are most popular "network management" (SNMP)
products in use, and are any free ones good?
Nagios?
I've used and had pretty good experiences with
(freeware) Argus and Splunk.
Up/Down monitoring is pretty easy to do with
Argus, but SNMP with some root-cause analysis is
certainly preferrable.
Is any open source product/utility taking off in large
corporate environments? Being promoted by resellers
or OEMs?
I used to work for Cabletron SPECTRUM, a -long- time
ago.
I'm looking for opinions for where the network management
industry is going.
Thanks,
