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

"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."
"This helps to centralize multiple monitoring solutions and streamline integration into ITSM."
"The dashboards and views available are easy to manage and share, and provide all of the metrics required."
"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."
"In every case so far we managed to move from a slow reactive type of non-monitoring toward a proactive monitoring for different layers within the organization and real insights into their IT environment from different angles."
"Let me first say that I would be delighted if Citrix would extend the Edgesight functionality in their product so that it really monitors all of the Citrix components."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"IT management experienced a big improvement after implementation of this product."
"The feature I like most about SCOM is that it is easy-to-use."
 

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."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"GUI performance is the one aspect where I can see that improvement on it will make customers happy."
"There are some negative points about this product. Sometimes, the capabilities of the software don't appear, and you can't directly see the results. You have to wait for a long period to refresh the policy to push it to the software or other patches."
"My advice to people who are looking for a solution like SCOM would actually be to advise them to move from licensed software to open-source."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We have to pay for a license and the price is fine for us."
"The platform is cost-effective due to our existing Microsoft support."
"Our Enterprise Agreement includes the price."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $30 per user, per month."
