"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"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 ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"The stability has been great."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"It's easy to use."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"Customized reporting can be improved."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."

"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need 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."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could 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."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it.
