I don't really disagree with this, but would like to mention that comercial vendors decide whether to fix a problem based on their own commercial interests. Somthing critical for you may not be critical for them. With open source you always have the option of fixing a problem yourself or hiring a contractor to do it for you.

If you're goal is high-availability and maximum up-time, you should go through a vendor that will cater to your needs. If you need an up-do-date SNMP agent that's priced right (free), but not without some performance issues and the occasional crash & burn feature, then this is just the SNMP agent for you.
This is not to say that the vendor's agent won't have the same issues mentioned above -- but you will be able to get them addressed by someone who is dedicated to servicing your product.
It's just reality. I wouldn't use net-snmp in my pace maker to send a trap notifying me of an impending heart attack :-)
But I would use it in my switch, router, server, printer, PDA, etc.
