No. The monitoring itself requires windows as OS but only for the Mgmt service, DB service, etc. You do not need a client (like for Nagios/etc) to monitor other systems. You simply monitor devices via http (e.g. APIs, etc) or SNMP, etc. You can also integrate other coding languages (Perl, PHP, C++, etc) if you need something unsupported.

This is a product designed for use on Windows only, no mention of ports to other operating systems. For some people, this is fine. For others, who don't want to mess with Windows at all, it's a concern.
Looking at some of the product sheets, it looks boss at what it does. In particular, the "David Letterman" view is an interesting quick snapshot look at what is going on.
