Best software to monitor my network
Dear Team,
I have a network which consists of about 70 virtual/physical servers, 3 SAN systems, 10+ Cisco Switches, some Sonicwalls, and a few other devices. I would like a recommendation for a good software that can monitior all these devices on my network and not only tell me when something goes down but also when my hard drives fail or run out of space, high resources being used, and so on.
Thank you.

What you need is a SIEM. Pick your flavor: http://siemcomparison.com
solarwinds
WhatsUp Gold from IPSwitch: https://www.ipswitch.com/a
We use it for several years and it works fine.

I recommend PRTG Network Monitor: it is free for 100 sensors and trial version will work for 30 days with unlimited sensors, so you can try it before buy.
It is straughtforward and it will do a network discovery automatically.
I use it for several customers and I like it very much.

if you have SonicWall GMS, that also has a monitoring tool built-in
Everyone would have their own recommendations and while it's good, you're more likely to know your situation better and can compare the options: http://siemcomparison.com, based on features, cost, ROI etc.
There are many tools available for the monitoring of systems and networks like; Spiceworks, Solarwinds and Nagios. Here is a list of network monitoring software, you can check: http://in.pcmag.com/cloud-services/97759/guide/the-best-network-monitoring-software-of-2017
I will always recommend solarwinds, OpManager and PRTG, but have been using PRTG lately and the pricing is really good.
