I think cnMaestro was announced about 1 year ago and I believe it was supposed to replace CNS. It is free (but only cloud based at this point, apparently eventual separate installations will have licensing fees). I recall conversations where it was supposed to handle remote monitoring of ePMP, cnPilot (their WiFi routers and APs), PMP100, and PMP450. It only does ePMP and cnPilot right now.. and I don't think it will ever do PMP100. It sees [very] slow but steady improvement, but it does not even have an alerting system yet (which is good, because there are false positives on ePMP hardware all the time). It allows for remote provisioning of ePMP and cnPilot products, and has some basic graphing and data collection.
I use it for cnPilot with good results. It could use some more features, but they seem to be working on them. I still see very mixed results with ePMP monitoring.
