I worked for a small organization. Even if we have a small budget for technical aspects, we have the same concern of monitoring our network, our servers and every software that need it like backup system. We have no skills and no time for setting up or maintaining a syslog server. That's why, we use RTM as a notification manager. Often, softwares offer a very easy way to get notifications by email. We use the private email address of rtm to get those notifications all in the same place with details in note. It's easy to set it up, free to use it and no time consuming.
Have it a try...
