WhatsUp Gold has no free version but it has a free trial. Been using WhatsUp Gold (WUG) since version 8 and have never considered switching to anything else. The licensing model has always been easy to understand and didn't cost an arm and leg to implement. I recently upgraded to WUG 2016 and am involved in beta testing WUG 2017. I think you'll like the look and feel of 2017.WUG 2016 adds storage monitoring of the NetApp FAS series storage devices. I'm currently running 4 FAS SANs and am looking forward to seeing how well they incorporate with WUG. They are older so I may not incorporate yet, but it's a good move in my opinion.
