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."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"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 monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"It's easy to use."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The solution should be more user-friendly and offer a better user interface."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"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."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
