Fortinet
It is great for monitoring internet connections.
The agent installed on Windows works efficiently and takes up little resources. The method of settling costs is not very clear.
There should also be a table with the current list of costs visible.

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.

Panopta management from the cloud (remote panel).
Easy work on installation.
To monitor servers, it is enough for the server to have contact only with the Internet.

Multiple channels for sending notifications.

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.
