Visual mapping of data pipelines has improved dependency insight and speeds troubleshooting
Regarding Savision Live Maps's AI capabilities, I think accuracy was pretty good, as it gave most of the information that we were able to validate, so it's all good. The advice I would give to others looking into using Savision Live Maps is that I think it's a good product; it's a new thing, and the AI capabilities are obviously improving every day, so I'm looking forward to more improvements and more use cases, and hopefully we can scale it in different departments and for different projects. I gave Savision Live Maps a rating of 8 out of 10.

Have integrated effective monitoring and seamless alerting with improved visualization capabilities
The most valuable feature of SCOM is its monitoring capability, and we have integrated SCOM with Grafana, which is a dashboarding tool. We have implemented and integrated this to create dashboarding of the SCOM monitoring system for the database, SQL, and the Linux servers we have configured in SCOM. We have created separate dashboarding for it, and the monitoring and creating rules and monitors in the management servers and management packs that SCOM provides are very useful for us. The alerting mechanism of SCOM has benefited our operations because we have modified the thresholds as per our internal requirements. We have configured threshold modifications for the CPU, memory, and especially for disk space. For routine disk space usage on the system, we have provided a separate threshold configuration.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
"Savision Live Maps has impacted my organization positively because it helps visually represent nodes and understand dependencies, which helps us understand breakages and issues in production."
"The fact that I'm able to see all my devices and the status of them has been extremely useful."
"SCOM will allow you to go from firefighting mode to a more proactive stance when finding issues."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"SCOM should be a good choice for fresh IT environments based on Windows servers or switching from open-source monitoring tools."
"SCOM integrates several systems and offers correlation features, like setting up everything around Active Directory or DNS."
"It's a lot more powerful than people realize, and I believe people become dissatisfied with it because of the complicated setup, but once it's up and running, it's pretty amazing at what it can do."
"We heavily rely on SCOM as our pro-active monitoring tool, preventing various problems and resolving issues quickly with the informative detail raised in SCOM alerts, which assists our department in being pro-active in resolving issues with servers and services rather than reactive."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
 

Cons

"Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion."
"SCOM is not a flexible product. The initial setup should be easier to complete."
"The console is a point to improve, because it is very heavy and a web console should be in HTML5."
"At this point, only monitoring a network device is not good enough."
"Areas for improvement in my opinion are the resource footprint of the SCOM infrastructure side, the web console (drop Silverlight please!) and a few of the management packs."
"SCOM is not as straightforward in terms of user interface or general experience, which could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing and licensing are fair."
"Two customers bought the enterprise agreement with Microsoft and paid for Software Assurance. But few customers don't buy it for Software Assurance. They just buy it and deploy it, and they think that we will be using it for the next five years."
"We have an EA with Microsoft, and it comes as part of the EA."
"Our Enterprise Agreement includes the price."
"SCOM's pricing is average."
"The pricing is good, and it's part of their system center suite."
"It is the cheapest product available in the market."
"The platform is cost-effective due to our existing Microsoft support."
