We performed a comparison between Opsview and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"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."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"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."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could 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."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
