We are currently looking for a replacement for SCOM 2012 as our network monitoring solution. We're a heavy Microsoft shop and we primarily use it for Monitoring Microsoft Services including Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, Skype). We have found it fairly noisy in terms of altering and no one internally has any experience or training on how to tune it.
Our gaps are that we don't have any monitoring of our actual network, (SCOM does up/down for Services but that's pretty much it) including server, switch and other hardware, we also don't have any kind of Bandwidth monitoring. We have a mix of Cisco, HP and Meraki. Below I've listed our general requirements.
We've looked at SolarWinds (too expensive) and PRTG (which I liked) and another solution called Netreo, which I've never really heard about.
Has anyone worked with Netreo before and if so, what your impressions of it?
