We currently use N-able for our client's network monitoring software. &nbsp;Since we are providing more and more virtualization solutions, we need a good monitoring system that handles Citrix's XenServers, VMWare and NAS devices, in addition to all the other functions a good MSP software system provides (WSUS, bandwidth, connectivity, event and device monitoring). &nbsp;We have looked at several and have ruled out several due to price (250 SAAS licenses from EG - $185,000 for instance) and have ruled out systems that do not monitor virtual environments. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We need a central management console that lists all clients status. &nbsp;The console should provide a quick visual of problems that clients may be having. &nbsp;It also needs to have a usable alert system that we can control. &nbsp;We want notifications sent out that mean something, not notifications that bombard the client with minor problems that cause them to ignore them (cry wolf) and then MISS the important notifications.<br />
<br />
We have done a considerable amount of research so we're looking for responses from people who have such a system in place and are happy (or unhappy) with the system they have. &nbsp; <br />

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
