Likelihood to Recommend	tribe29 If you are looking for a great free to use SNMP monitoring agent Checkmk is the way to go. They far exceed the competition in that area. If the paid option is the way to go their competitors might have a leg up with ease of use and upgradability. Regardless I highly recommending trying their software. Incentivized DH DJ Hammett IT Manager Read full review	op5 AB It is well suited when you have a large number of machines and you need a reliable monitoring mechanism. You need to check certain components of each server and have different alerting levels. OP5 Monitor is good in sending alerts to multiple recipients and you can customize the alerts for each check.

Alternatives Considered	tribe29 Checkmk free version is far superior to PRTG free version. For the paid versions PRTG was more efficient and easier to use. Checkmk provides unlimited services on their free version while PRTG is limited. We like to use the free version to avoid monthly or annual costs while still utilizing the same SNMP features. Incentivized DH DJ Hammett IT Manager Read full review	op5 AB OP5 Monitor is based on nagios and it's good for monitoring system and application level components. Still it's difficult to setup and customize alerts, but it's a very useful tool for medium and large enterprise organizations. Incentivized Fahadullah Muhammad Senior DevOps Engineer Read full review
