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 most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails. All our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with everything."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"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."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"Implementation could be improved."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"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 solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"The price could be improved."
