"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager.

"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
