We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"It has high stability."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"The stability has been great."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"The security should be improved."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"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."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"The configurations could be better. There are multiple tests where you can do something, but they can be a trigger as well. The overriding methodologies are not that easy. The configurations are difficult. The configuration and thorough day-to-day operations to get them to the level you want takes some time. It's very difficult."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
