[geeks] Network Monitoring / Mangement Systems

[Bill Bradford]

Folks,

I'm writing an article for a tech website (not one of mine) that's a brief
review of the current "state of the art" in open-source/freeware network
monitoring and management software.

I'm currently planning on covering:

Nagios

OpenNMS

Zenoss

Are there any other "big players" that are new to the field that I've
overlooked?  (I'm not counting "bundles" that are just fancy wrappers and
integrations around Nagios, etc, or pure-graphing stuff like Cacti).

I was originally planning on covering Big Brother as well, but it seems
that Quest Software bought them a few years back, letting the freely
available version stagnate a couple of major revisions behind their now
commercial version.

Thanks.

Bill
