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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"It has high stability."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The stability has been great."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"The security should be improved."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"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."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
