"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."

"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."

"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."

"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
