Zabbix
PandoraFMS
Cacti depends on mysql, php
Nagios
Icinga mac not supported but there are solutions

Monit mac, linux, bsd only UNIX, but there are unofficial windows agents too
NetXMS
Monitor in a Box no windows support
bandwidthd
LibreNMS
Shinken cross platform, only requires python, nagios compatible
OpenNMS windows 7 might not be supported + it seems a bit heavy cancelled, want lightweight stuff
Pulseway commercial cancelled, want free stuff
Netflow tools cisco only, not free cancelled, want free stuff
Fing smart, simple, free only from mobile useless for bandwidth monitoring
Munin simple too simple cancelled, would be a waste of time
SolarWinds commercial cancelled, want free stuff
NetCrunch commercial cancelled, want free stuff
op5 monitor commercial cancelled, want free stuff
NetWorx cross platform commercial cancelled, want free stuff
DataDog cross platform commercial, max 1 day retention for free trial cancelled, want free stuff
SpiceWorks free (for real) windows or linux not mac, but some people say we can... this is totally crap, it freezed my pc and consumed 2GB ram in seconds to monitor localhost... better use taskmgr next time
