For posterity, here are my personal findings so far: Zenoss - Too complicated, buggy on FreeBSD, reporting tools not-so-great; comercial version too expensive for my site. It was my experience with this that convinced me I needed to try something else. Hyperic - Looks nice, but Java based; no in-house java experts. Zabbix - Poor documentation, not very intuitive, but seems to have all the features I want; currently my choice. Will require a lot of work to customize for my enviroment. OpenNMS - Dosen't seem to have many features for host/service monitoring. GroundWorks - Since I'm implimenting something new, I don't see the benefit of tieing two products togeather with a third one. Pandora - Test pending. Big Brother - See GroundWorks OpsView - See GroundWorks Zyrion - Test pending.
