Network Monitoring Infrastructure

I am part of a team managing around 230 sites and whole of infra is of cisco make. We are already using IBM Tivoli NCCM for managing configuration of network devices. We have a zabix agent based real time Monitoring framework developed in house. We have almost all steps filled except for anything on the automation domain and management is harping on us to get something. The network is still managed based on CLI and we have SDN on our roadmap. DC first then WAN and sites.

I wanted to know the latest monitoring technologies or network management suites which will increase my visibility. I am mainly looking for 1. Increased Visibility 2. Better troubleshooting help since almost all of it is manual. 3. Better linking between layer 3/4 with application layer.

Any product or links will be appreciated.
