I haven't heard anyone mention NetIQ's Appmanager. http://www.netiq.com/products/am/default.asp I think Microsoft sold a watered down version of it as MOM which seems to never have taken off.
Anyway, we looked at all the monitoring packages for keeping track of over a hundred Windows servers and it was the best for us due to flexibility, mid-cost, and capabilities to be centralized but monitor remote sites locally.
You can even write your own jobs to do what you want with almost no limits.
It has evolved and now monitors Unix based systems as well.
