"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"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."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"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."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."

"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"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."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"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."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
