Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"It's easy to use."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"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."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"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."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
