We use GFI Max - $12.95 per server, has a ton of monitoring options, nice dashboard interface, and integrates with ConnectWise.

My SAlive installation if 5.0 running on a Win2k box, and I haven't had time to do more than a token install of nagios. However, he doesn't want open source stuff (so nagios, mrtg, jffnms, opennms, etc. are out), and would even like a hardware appliance. Budget isn't huge, but possible up to about $10k. He's mentioned Netmon (http://netmon.ca) as he has experience with it, but is casting about for other solutions. A smaller package like SAlive is probably not what he's looking for, nor What's Up, though he's not as averse to the latter. Anyone have a package they're familiar with and like?
