We performed a comparison between Broadcom Network Flow Analysis and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
