Summary
We have been using this software for over a year as the primary method of watching routers, servers, services, etc. on our network. The program is extremely easy to use, and reliably notifies us by e-mail to our cell phones. Great tool!!! I recommend it highly.
A great product that is very configurable

Summary
I loved this product. I could configure it to monitor a device or system precisely the way I wanted to! I found that it is priced at about 1/2 to 1/4 the price of its competitors. The company has a low price guarantee against its major competitors too. Theit technical support was very responsive too.
Too expensive

Summary
This is a fabulous program, but it's priced too high. Should allow unlimited pinging of devices and license the other options at a much lower price. My network config would cost over 25K! 1-2K would be a reasonable investment to monitor 20-30 nodes instead of 25K.
