I had bad experience with expensive tools in the past, where OS names were listed in the white papers and sales publications, even in the header of scripts, which simply did not work or were a pain to get to work.
Some monitoring solutions can't come out of the box as some demands for applications etc. is far too special so you often have a lot of coding or at least configuration works.
Some companies even charge insane prices for additional probes/modules/plugins/spys (whatever they call them), that are so badly programmed or simple, you could think they are making a bad joke.
I would always setup a detailed Prove of Concept, invite the company and have detailed things tested, before buying anything. The sales often promise a lot, while the techs take the pain or the hotline/support is pushed to the front to block off the customer more or less.
Nagios, as a free tool for example, offers a lot of plugins that cover most things, but the plugins you can get for free are from very good to flawed. Again, sometimes you have to write stuff on your own but can offer them for exchange, if allowed
my 2 cents

1. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
What is the best way to learn UNIX, shell, and Perl on a Windows 2000 machine? My place of employment uses Solaris and Perl and I would like to learn some UNIX skills on my home PC.
I read about "dual boots", "Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX", and "cygwin". What other free options are... (9 Replies)

module::pluggable::object
Module::Pluggable::Object(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Module::Pluggable::Object(3pm) NAME
Module::Pluggable::Object - automatically give your module the ability to have plugins SYNOPSIS
Simple use Module::Pluggable - package MyClass; use Module::Pluggable::Object; my $finder = Module::Pluggable::Object->new(%opts); print "My plugins are: ".join(", ", $finder->plugins)." "; DESCRIPTION
Provides a simple but, hopefully, extensible way of having 'plugins' for your module. Obviously this isn't going to be the be all and end all of solutions but it works for me. Essentially all it does is export a method into your namespace that looks through a search path for .pm files and turn those into class names. Optionally it instantiates those classes for you. This object is wrapped by "Module::Pluggable". If you want to do something odd or add non-general special features you're probably best to wrap this and produce your own subclass. OPTIONS
