AKIPS gives deep discounts for the public sector. Although the
product has a few more features than our primary use cases, we use it
for fault monitoring/alerting (ping up/down, SNMP status change,
trap+syslog pattern matching), metric tracking, and CAM/ARP history
and
+1 for check_mk here, we use it for distributed monitoring of pretty much
everything.

We undertook a year long evaluation of NMS's and are now moving to
NetXMS from PRTG, we found like Jerry that PRTG was more suited to
enterprise than to SP's.
Why we chose NetXMS:
- Desktop client that runs on Linux, Windows, OSX
- Desktop client and Web UI have the same layout
- Uses standard SQL
Definitely agree that Solarwinds and, to a lesser extent, PRTG are much
more oriented to the enterprise than service providers.

Been dramatically happier with Zabbix + ntop after moving off Solarwinds for
both NMS and flow data analysis (NTA). Zabbix picked up all the monitoring
pieces and felt way more polished than Nagios. We’re not only using zabbix for
typical things like snmp and agent-based data collection / aler
Been looking into that for quite a while now.
You don't have a lot of options:
- Observium - Fires a lot of SNMP stuff to the devices, but looks pretty,
not distributed.
- Icinga - Hard to get up and running and needs lots of work to operate. (I
found that). Hard to find clear docs on multi tenan

I'm not a huge fan of Solarwinds either, but it's what we're moving to.
We have PRTG, which I much prefer. Seems pricey if you have a very large
network, but in the end, I think it would have cost us less than the
move to Solarwinds. Very flexible and logical grouping if you have many

Hi Nick,
In my opinion anything is better than Solar Winds but that’s me. I don’t
understand how any serious network monitoring company only offers their
products for the windows environment and has no Unix variants. That’s just
goofy to me but that aside here are some alternatives I have had
