Management tools should be native to infrastructure. If you are using multi brand infrastructure and multi leyered infrastructure you should look at the integration level and protocols. Management tool should serve systems very efficiently: robust, analysis, security, deployment, knowledge base and best practices, and set of built in ready tools. Never use multi brand tools for management keep one pane of glass or follow the consolidation goals.

In my perspective, server management tool is the digital identity and status of the system admin himself because it is a daily routine task that should be checked, that should be automated configured, that should run scripts or corrective actions in case of error or warnings, it should inform the sys admin of his duties and tasks and any possible errors or failures within the system. Microsoft built-in server management tools is the best practice to use on windows servers platforms, it is a free tool that could combine many servers performance, policies, updates, event logs of many servers and departments in the infrastructure. Best regards,
