Is MS Systems Center Operations Manager 2007 worth it or are there better / more cost effective solutions?

Cheers

 
Spiceworks is free and works pretty well.

I use that for some clients, working on getting my linux monitoring box all setup using Nagios and Cacti.

If you just want monitoring, I think the linux is the way to go, cacti has a lot of capabilities for SNMP and graphing, Nagios is a good up/down/alert service.

But if you dont want linux to monitor windows, give spiceworks a shot. it will alert you of events, drive space depleting, etc......its an ad paid for service that you can pay like $10 a month to get with no adds though.
 
Hi blue

Well, its for a commercial environment, i have used Cacti but i'm after a really powerful tool in the SCOM 2007 league.

Any like that?

Cheers
