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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
"The setup is simple."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"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 solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"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 is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"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."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"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."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
