Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"It's easy to use."
"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."
"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"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."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"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."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"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."
"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."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
