"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."

"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
