That's the purpose for our blog to solicit feedback from the community, and fill in the gaps. I've used some of the free SolarWind tools for years, and they're great!<br><br>Thanks again for the input.<br><br>Christopher Rees<br>Palaestra TrainingChristopher ReesFri, 23 May 2008 10:14:16 -0000http://www.palaestratraining.com/blog/2008/05/top-ten-network-monitoring-tools/#comment-2825875You left off SolarWinds' Orion Network Performance Monitor. I'm reluctant to blow our own horn since I'm the product manager for Orion, but it's a very widely-used network management application that monitors network devices SNMP, Syslog, and Trap. Orion has a simple walk-up-and-use interface that includes built-in reports and alerts. Orion scales to very large environments but is priced for accessibility for mid-sized and smaller businesses. Apologies for the blatant plug.Denny LeCompteFri, 23 May 2008 09:50:36 -0000
