Lead specialist at OKCIUS (Pty) Ltd
Helpful dashboard, and the ElasticSearch feature helps to identify problematic components
Savision continuously develops new modules to allow further integration, so the only item would continue with this effort to allow more-and-more systems to integrate into this platform. Perhaps more focus can be done on the CMDB portion and bi-directional communication to the ITSM system, but this is a small portion.

Assistant Manager at SMS group GmbH
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."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system.​"
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"SCOM is a great monitoring tool."
"We have installed SCOM in our Windows Server 2020 system to monitor any issues that might happen in our infrastructure and keep them in good health, including our SQL Servers, web servers, and web interfaces."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process."
"SCOM will allow you to go from firefighting mode to a more proactive stance when finding issues."
 

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."
"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."
"I feel that the stability of the tool has room for improvement and I would like to see that in the next version."
"If they're looking for real-time, within-the-minute monitoring of servers from a console, then I would say that it falls short there."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"Dashboarding and application performance management."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"The configuration, especially for alerts, are somewhat lengthy."
"Unfortunately, when you need to monitor member servers which are not joined to the same domain as the SCOM servers, you need to go through the certificate route (so that you can have the required trust through the certificate). This is very time consuming and very prone to error."
