We performed a comparison between SCOM and Statseeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"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's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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 initial setup should be easier to complete."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"There are some negative points about this product. Sometimes, the capabilities of the software don't appear, and you can't directly see the results. You have to wait for a long period to refresh the policy to push it to the software or other patches."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"I'd say the interface could improve a little bit. I find with new users, I tend to have to spend a bit of time walking them through how to use the interface. It could be a little more user friendly."
"Technical support for this solution is bad, as is everything with Cisco support."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
