While developing our own monitoring product, we've had to deal with
various constraints from the customer side, for instance pharmaceutical
companies where there was no way installing an agent on PLC machines
would
pass internal audit, without having the entire system re-validated
(we're
talking FDA-validated medication production here).

But often, SNMPD ships with or is available as an optional base
component (Windows, most UNIXes) and it's easier to convince the IT
suits. Go figure.
Oh, and it avoided us having to install an agent on 1000+ servers :)
But the configuration learning curve for SNMP is very steep indeed.
