Pros

Great mid- to large-business SNMP suite. While it can be complicated, it is manageable with a little help from OpenView support. Has a nice graphical map and event-monitoring system. Can do some historical trend analysis. Price seems right and can be trimmed by obtaining a license for a limited number of managed nodes.

Cons

Not many third-party application plug-ins available.
