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 solution is straightforward to set up."
"It has high stability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"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."
"The security should be improved."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"The price could be improved."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"The configurations could be better. There are multiple tests where you can do something, but they can be a trigger as well. The overriding methodologies are not that easy. The configurations are difficult. The configuration and thorough day-to-day operations to get them to the level you want takes some time. It's very difficult."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"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."
