We performed a comparison between IDERA SQL Safe Backup and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"It's easy to use."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"The stability has been great."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"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."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
