We switched from NOCOL to Netsaint about a year ago (both using qpage
to sent text pages in emergencies).
I don't much remember why we switched, but Netsaint seem less prone to
false positives, able to monitor more details, better able to keep and
display history, and the pretty web interface is nice too.
Some of this may be better configuration rather than inherent
superiority, but Netsaint does the job for me.
services status (SMTP, NFS, HTTP etc.)
load (number of users, process load, file system capacity)
unusual latency
machine room temp
even printer status
and so much more...
