I've been looking at Zabbix.  The others just seem too limiting to smaller
environments (being SNMP/Polling based).  Zabbix appears to be almost to the
level of competeing with the likes of OpenView and Tivoli, but still
maintaining the ease of use if all you want is SNMP polling.  Hopefully,
I'll get the chance to review it in more detail in the coming months.
