We use Whatsup Gold 8 to monitor servers and routers and it seems to work ok.

I did download the trial and have been using it, but the problem is that when the exchange server goes down, how will it notify me? Someone mentioned using a script, but I am not a scripting person, do you have anything for this?

We use Servers Alive and let me tell you, for the price, $99.00, it is one of the best values around and does a fantastic job monitoring all types of servers and services. Download the free copy, up to 10 checks, and try it yourself and I guarentee that you will buy it.

I must say I am using this and
I find it more reliable than Insight
Manager. It emails my phone and my regular email whenever a server is
not pingable (or if a certain service is not running). The check
interval is 2 minutes on mine, which catches most things quickly enough
for my needs. I recommend this for a nice and easy (and free, for 10
boxes and Shawn stated) Server Update utility.
The web page that you can have output is a little tricky to get working
with the NT service, but it works, and you can download a nice template
for it as well.
Have fun!
Chris

Haven't tested and I am not affiliated with this company, but this may
be what you are looking for and it is free for up to 10 boxes (excellent
price for non-profits). It doesn't seem to perform MAPI testing but
it
will do SMTP testing.

Mmy company is currently looking for a product that will monitor if the
e-mail server and other servers are up or down and then notify me by
e-mailing my cell phone.
Question 1) What software do you use? 2) How do you get notified
by
e-mail if your e-mail server is down?
Any help is appreciated, I have already looked at Whats Up Gold and
Servers Alive.
