If you know Nagios or Nagios-like monitoring systems, OpsView will be really easy for you to learn and manage. Migrations process will be relatively easy. You're getting great U/I that will speed up adding new objects to the system and present data in a clear, organized way. In addition it's easy to create dedicated dashboards for your clients.

Nagios and Zabbix - Opsview is much easier to setup and operate than both of them. SolarWinds Orion - Opsview is much more economical
