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."
"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."
"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."
"The solution is scalable."
"The alerting feature has improved our organization. We can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."
"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."
"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."
"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 discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"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."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"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."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"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."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
