All
I have been tasked with evaluating a number of Network and Server monitoring packages. I am looking at IpSwitch "Whatsup Gold", Manage engine "OpManager" and Solar Winds "Orion". We are monitoring about 35 servers (NT Services, Disk Space, memory, CPU) , 12 HP switches (sFlow), 2 CISCO routers (netflow), a number of hosted websites, 3 WAN Links, Firewall. From the switches and routers we would like to get an overview of who (Machine / User) is doing what and what applications are utilizing our network bandwidth. If anyone one has any comments on any of the solutions I am looking at (Or any that they feel I should look at) I would be pleased to hear them. We have been using Nagios but are wanting to compare this with some paid for options were we may get more support.
