[c-nsp] OT Solarwinds Alternatives

[Jerry Bacon]

I'm not a huge fan of Solarwinds either, but it's what we're moving to.

We have PRTG, which I much prefer. Seems pricey if you have a very large 
network, but in the end, I think it would have cost us less than the 
move to Solarwinds. Very flexible and logical grouping if you have many 
sites (as we do).

The other I have some experience with is WhatsUp Gold, but when we 
evaluated a recent version a while back it was very slow.
