I recommend SolarWinds as building custom pollers is relatively easy but really any platform that lets you specify the specific OIDs for the data points that you want would be fine.<\/p><\/div>

Your review of SolarWinds products is very dated @Anuj. Of your cons, only two of them still apply -- Clumsy \'Group Dependency\' configuration and Reporting module needs better ad-hoc reports.<\/p>\n\n

As of NPM 11 on Orion 2016 you can configure alerts for most modules in the web console including NPM, SAM, NTA, SRM, VMAN, NCM, etc.<\/p>\n\n

And the NPM module, specific to network monitoring, has supported SNMP (v1, v2c, v3) and WMI for as long as I can remember. If you purchase the Server & Application Monitoring module you can opt to deploy agents for both Linux and Windows servers as of SAM 6.3.<\/p>\n\n

Hyper-V support has been there for a while as well, both in the IVIM component in NPM as well as in Virtualization Manager (VMAN). Granted VMAN is fairly VMware focused, but that is always in flux.<\/p>\n\n

** Full Disclosure: I am a Canada\'s only SolarWinds Thwack MVP. In my day job, I am the primary SME for one of the largest single instance environments of SolarWinds in the world. I know a fair bit about SolarWinds, but I am far from knowing everything!<\/p><\/div>

Hi! I have worked with some monitoring tools in the market, such as;<\/p>\n\n

Zabix\n
CA UIM\n
Tivoli\n
Nagios\n
Zenoss\n
SCOM<\/p>\n\n

None of these tools monitors everything 100%, will very much depend on the need of the business. In other words, the best tool for monitoring is one that best meets the business of our customers.<\/p>\n\n

The tool that has the potential to monitor more technology solutions is the System Center Operations Manager. However, it is like i said the tool has to be suitable for business, I am not saying that the SCOM is the best, but serves very well.<\/p>\n\n

I am taking some customers who have replaced, tools such as Zabix, CA UIM and Tivoli to put SCOM.<\/p>\n\n

There are several reasons that these customers has preferred SCOM; support, usability of monitoring, reporting, SLA, monitoring the Windows environment and Unix very easy, dashboards, very easy to customize.<\/p>\n\n

But it has assisted in the monitoring of core applications business of customers and this is what the customer need. It is enough!<\/p><\/div>

Hello, I appreciate all the comment on the review, I just want to clear things up again, me saying that \"I did not find any cons \" for prtg does not mean that it might not have any cons. There might be cons that I overlooked and thats why I said that \"I did not find cons \" not that there are no cons \n<\/p><\/div>

Good overall review. I haven\'t used PRTG, but have used Zabbix and know deployments that have at least 10s of thousands of nodes which means this is a false statement \"Zabbix is not suitable for large networks with 1,000+ nodes\"<\/p>\n\n

Other than that, saying PRTG has no Cons makes me really wonder about the authors intentions because that\'s another obvious invalid statement.<\/p><\/div>

We opted for Nagios because of the community support and still had issues with switch monitoring. I\'m not sure how good Zabbix is when it comes to Switch monitoring.<\/p><\/div>

I appreciate the feedback. Yes , Indeed PRTG has no linux version (I missed that :) ) , and as far as the price is concerned, I found it to be reasonable taking into account the features its offering along with the ease of use. But then again, not everyone would think that way. There might be more negatives for the PRTG, I just could not find them.<\/p><\/div>
