We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager 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."
"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."
"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."
"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."
"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."
"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."
"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."
"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."
"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."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"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."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"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."
ManageEngine OpManager is ranked 15th in Network Monitoring Software with 44 reviews while SCOM is ranked 11th in Network Monitoring Software with 77 reviews. ManageEngine OpManager is rated 8.0, while SCOM is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of ManageEngine OpManager writes "Helps us monitor all the infrastructure in our company but UI monitoring is not practical". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SCOM writes "Has a good reporting engine, but its monitoring of the cloud-based environment could be improved". ManageEngine OpManager is most compared with SolarWinds NPM, Zabbix, PRTG Network Monitor, Nagios XI and WhatsUp Gold, whereas SCOM is most compared with Zabbix, Dynatrace, Datadog, AppDynamics and LogicMonitor.
