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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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.​"
"SCOM integrates several systems and offers correlation features, like setting up everything around Active Directory or DNS."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
 

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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"The price could be improved."
"​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​"
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SCOM's pricing is average."
"I don't know the exact cost because it's managed by our sales team, but Microsoft is on the higher side."
"The pricing is good, and it's part of their system center suite."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $30 per user, per month."
"Our Enterprise Agreement includes the price."
"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is paid annually."
"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."
"SCOM is part of the System Center suite and I am satisfied with the pricing."
