What do you use to monitor/manage hardware VXLAN?

We are currently using Cisco Nexus 9000 switches in our datacenter. These are deployed in NX-OS mode and we've created a VXLAN overlay on top of these switches to provide layer-2 adjacency across the racks. We are not able to get ACI. Cisco used to have Nexus Fabric Manager, or NFM, to help manage this deployment method, and it's going end of sale. They are now pitching the new DCNM which is supposed to have all the same functionality. It seems somewhat OK (regardless of DCNM nightmares in days of yore), but what are my other alternatives? How can I manage about 35 9ks, and monitor the whole thing?
