PRTG free for limited 100 sensor and not bad too <a href="https://www.paessler.com/prtg/download" rel="ugc">https://www.paessler.com/prtg/download</a>

For Windows servers I'd devinately start with this<br />

Spiceworks is free and does alright<br />
Prtg is really best for network gear and sensor count adds up fast.

Does anyone know of a good system monitoring software? &nbsp;We want to monitor the health of servers, power outage and network connections issues , etc. before the users are aware of it.<br />
<br />
It is a small business of about 300 users with several remote locations but at the corporation office, there is about 5-10 servers and less 10 network devices. &nbsp;Something that is not too costly and simple. PRTG may be one that is a freeware.

Systems Monitor Application

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.

Network Management

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
