There's a certain amount of complexity that comes with the territory when you move from a single-machine design to a cluster, but Cassandra does as much as possible to simplify things, starting with a fully-distributed "every node is the same" design. (As opposed to having master + router + config + slave nodes, for instance, each of which needs a different kind of troubleshooting.)

Additionally, DataStax makes the "DataStax Community" distribution of Cassandra available for free, including for production use, which includes the OpsCenter management and monitoring tool: http://www.datastax.com/products/community
