Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"We have visibility on all our network devices, through this tool, which gives me immediate alerts or notifications when some devices fail."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The only thing I can say needs improvement is in how they present the data to the end users. End users are looking for a dashboard with an attractive view. The current dashboards we have are sufficient for our needs, but not attractive for the business users at the upper management levels."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"I would like to see them improve their network 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."
