I know that most people I know who use Cacti use it because of the easy way you can zoom (either graphically, with the fancy javascript bounding box feature) or the timescale config that you can set.
Ganglia's biggest drawback is the graphing, IMHO. Being able to see beyond 1 hour/day/week/month/year is pretty important, especially to view an event that has passed the 1-hour mark. I have seen various hacks and add-ons to ganglia to allow graphing for N hours, days, etc., and even start/end times for the graphs, but I wonder if there was any plans to incorporate this sort of thing in the official ganglia releases.
