"We really like the scalability capabilities."
"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"
"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 is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"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."

"The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data."
"The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"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."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
