Regarding Keynote support - the company I work for pulls alerts from the RSS feed they offer. They changed the format of the feed a couple of months ago without notice, breaking our monitoring and leaving us blind for some time. When we contacted our service rep, he wasn't even aware of the changes they made. Your mileage may vary.

We currently use - http://www.systemswatch.com/Numerous times their alerts have beat out our notifications without false alarms. Also, as the reason one purchases such a service, its a backup for our own monitoring. We also use Keynote as thats what our customers are used to, and also subscribe to. This allows us to se what they see should we need to discuss SLA's. Systems Watch is much cheaper than Keynote for those that have actuallypriced out, or subscribe to the service.All in all, when I get an alert from Systems Watch, I do make way to a consolemore than I would with my own monitoring.
