Legend: BB = Big Brother
The problem with BB as I see it is that it is a HOST monitor, while
NetSaint is a HOST and NETWORK monitor. What difference does it make,
you may ask? Well, what if the
router/switch/firewall/another-single-point-of-failure between your
monitoring server and the rest of the network goes down? BB will scream
that every server/router (etc) you have on the other side is down, while
NetSaint understands that it's the router/firewall/etc that is down.
IMHO it's a smarter system.
