> Usually in the IT monitoring world, there’s very little you can get for free. Ironic, considering Opsview has built their entire product on top of software that anyone can get for free (well, unless you buy Opsview, in which case they'll charge you a pretty penny for it). > It’s completely free for up to twenty five devices and comes with full enterprise functionality out of the box, instead of just a base to build off of. Also ironic, considering that, for years, Opsview's most popular product (Opsview Core) was exactly that -- "a base to build off of" -- until one day they suddenly decided it was "for test environments" and that my customer needed to spend USD $6,000/year for their "Enterprise product". Fortunately, I partially redeemed myself by successfully changing the minds of two other customers when I found out they were about to do just that.
