VMware Skyline is free yet is priceless. Skyline gives you the health of your VMware products in a single pane. Here you not only get issues pointed out to you but the suggested solutions for each issue. Doesn't get better than this.

Keysight Breaking Point stacks up against others as it has an intelligence for more than 20 years. It gives evidence to document DDoS protection compliance to comply the regulatory compliance. To eliminate attacks, Keysight’s Breaking Point Cloud provides a real time IP validation, confirming you can simulate DDoS tests only against resources on your Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure.

I've used other products such as VMAN and such yet Skyline is different. This is not aimed at your virtual machine's internal usage but at the VMware / Hypervisor level. This looks and monitors at hardware drivers, VMtools versions, and VM hardware versions. If you have Horizon it will look at versions and current vs minimum driver versions.
