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."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"It gives us visibility inside applications. It helps us to dig down and find the root cause of any issue within the network."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Great out-of-the-box capability."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"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."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like to see automatic network topology."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"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 be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"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."
