"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system"
"It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams."
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities."
"We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"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."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The stability has been great."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems."
"Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"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."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
