[Xymon] why do you use xymon?

[Gore, David W (David)]

1)      Because we are a support group and we have no money

2)      Easy to configure external scripts custom scripts to monitor our applications, networks and operating systems, Solaris, Linux, AIX, HP, OpenVMS (Old BB client)

3)      Light weight, runs on 2 old PCs, slimline desktop PC's, that are a thousand years old but can run Xymon

4)      Because it's opensource easy to use freeware that we can afford

If we needed to buy support or a consultant to install it.  It would not be the tool for us.  We want something free, fast, easy to install and quick to customize, in other words Xymon.

Would any of you mind telling me why you use xymon? I have a co-worker who is pushing hard for zenoss, and his arguments include "gui discovery tool", "no hand editing of config files", "it is an enterprise level monitoring system and you can buy support and bring in a consultant to set it up for you", and the ever popular "everyone is using zenoss now".
