I've been using Prometheus and Grafana recently. However if you have Windows systems that need monitored the node exporter isnt going to help you, you'd have to write something of your own. That said it's fast and light. Nah iOS is powerful but kind of legacy. Even a FAN install is pretty time consuming.
I love Grafana.

@scottalanmiller I was going to come in here and say how often Grafana is.

Yeah, Grafana is all the time.

I prefer Zabbix over all of the other ones. Zabbix does have agents for Windows, Linux and others (I'm not sure how / if the other ones mentioned support Windows).
It will also monitor SNMP devices as well (Switches, firewalls, etc).

Nagios does. The node exporter for Prometheus doesn't.

Grafana is pretty cool looking.

I like Prtg, free editon allow 100 sensors, enough for a SMB

I have a Zabbix instance running at a client but I have done very little setup with it. It is a very solid tool for the little time I put in it. I think with only a little more education time I can get it set up well.
Same here we have a simple zabbix install here, mainly pings to see if things are up. But I plan (once I've moved some VMs around and sorted my hosts) to reinstall and explore it's full potential

@Tim_G MMm, I have been a big proponent of it but it has gone down to rollback from version 1.5 to 1.4 and now is going to be a cloud based app with agents so we shall see. PRTG is good but expensive with more than 100 Sensors which will go up with various VMS and Hosts.

Here's a simple dashboard I built for a few VMs at home to show load.
This is a really detailed one that is tabbed. I couldn't possible show all of it.
