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."It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"The tool helps to monitor Windows servers. It offers alerts from a central location."
"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 most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"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 solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"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."
"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."
"The management of the servers could be better."
