We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."
"We get a lot of false alerts."
"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."
"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."
"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
