Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a very good product overall."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"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."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
"Implementation could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"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."
"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."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"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."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
