We performed a comparison between Alluvio Aternity and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Nexthink, Lakeside Software, Riverbed and others in Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM)."Other features we use heavily are the WiFi analyzer, the Skype for Business analyzer, and the troubleshooting functionalities. We also use the Device Health quite religiously here for troubleshooting devices that are unhealthy, when we're talking about things like high CPU or memory consumption, or file system problems within the users' workstations."
"The detailed level of information you are able to get on the complete environment all of the way down to a specific machine."
"Aternity easily provides visibility of all the endpoint machines to my clients."
"There are also built-in activities that let you measure things like preview mail, open address book, and send mail. Those are the activities that we are able to get measurements on, and those are things we have not seen in other software monitoring tools."
"The data the solution provides is valuable to us; we can see the health of the machines, how they are performing, and what might be causing issues on a particular machine."
"Desktop monitoring, and being able to understand the performance of applications that runs on the desktop."
"The ability to quickly utilize the dashboard to gather information is valuable from a DXI perspective."
"We could resolve issues that they had been facing for months or years. They had been having the same issues, the same performance problems, whether it was Excel taking a long time to load, or network instability, or voice call problems, and we would fix it in minutes, in front of them in a meeting, with absolute confidence. It would just blow their minds."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"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."
"Integrating the tool with other products is a challenge."
"In terms of a new feature, it would be good if we could restrict a user to a specific application or server. We have several customers, and we have to set up one or two servers for each customer. We have to set up one server for production and one for the test environment. Each user at the customer level can see all applications and the data of all applications, which is not really useful and good. We should be able to restrict user access at the application level or server level."
"I think the workflow needs improvement"
"I can see the location and computer model and I can see a bunch of different attributes. But one thing I can't see is the Internet Explorer version."
"I would improve the dashboard, the presentation player."
"I would like Alluvio Aternity to be certified by the IRAP for petrol companies in Australia."
"When it comes to what is called creating signatures, it's not easy for a non-coding person for desktop applications. You need to run the recording and you need to have some exposure and knowledge. That is an area where they can improve. For web applications, they have the Web Activity Creator and that's an awesome and easy tool. Anybody can use it and capture the signatures. With the desktop applications it's a little more cumbersome and difficult."
"Reliability: Issues interfering with the deployment and use of the product has made its use reduced in scope."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"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."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
