PandoraFMS for network monitoring

Has anyone used it or evaluated it against Solarwinds NPM/NCM?

I desperately want an alternative to Solarwinds suite for monitoring mostly Windows servers and Cisco gear. I would prefer a linux based appliance mostly because patching Windows 2016 is a nightmare. I love all of SW's capabilities, but the performance is garbage and it seems they are spending more time adding new stuff (or "free" tools that get you constant emails and calls) instead of improving existing stuff. We currently have under 1000 network devices and several hundred servers including an ESX virtualization infrastructure.

I'm not hung up on Pandora by any means, but I just haven't heard much about it. Any other alternatives would be welcome...
