when i work at ISP i use cacti too, and its easy to use, we use mixed devices from china, us etc, so function is not the same, especially MiB that not suitable to use with other monitoring too, but from this experence we use cacti, we build the custom MiB from devices and then import to cacti and we can monitor all the devices such as transmission devices mostly huawei product we need to build the custom template to monitor those devices.
easy to monitor the graph, its support all kind of devices, and sysadmin can build custom template for cacti too based on the MiB of the manufacture devices. graph are generate every 5min, not high load on the server performance, especially for ISP there have alot of customer. email notification is very good to send alert in case there have problem, or link down, also can automatically send email directly to customer as well the graph of their usage etc. weathermap plugin is powerful to let the system admin/network engineer to draw and connect devices and show the realtime traffic on the link.
its perfect already i have no comment about this.

It is an excellent monitoring tool and easy to configure. Good tool for SNMPD and allows sending alerts via email of the services when they are not working.
Making updates can be complex and configuring plugin architecture is a bit complex and when sending alerts when a service is down sometimes it is not usually immediate

I've been using Cacti for years. Robust in that it does what it's supposed to do. Connects to all network devices that we have used.
Somewhat tricky user interface, especially when you have a lot of devices under management and when you want to focus on events in the past.

Very useful I use it to graph my routers, switches and printers
The graphs,the ability to use SNMPv3 and the community which is of course FOSS
KB needs an update. Finding the right template you need can be a challenge
