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."
"It is an overall stable solution."
"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important."
"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 saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"It's easy to use."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"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."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
