AK
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.

Director of Development/Project Manager at Enablers Private Limited
A highly scalable and stable solution that provides excellent features and can be integrated with any product
The support team is more into R&D. They're not focused on support. The vendor lets the partners provide support for the solution. Partners must have StableNet-certified engineers. Complex problems arise for complex installations. When a problem is deep, it takes a lot of time to resolve it. It goes to the R&D and development teams. They do solve it, but the time taken could be reduced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of SCOM is its monitoring capability, and we have integrated SCOM with Grafana, which is a dashboarding tool."
"SCOM has helped us to reduce the time taken to address the issue and identify the false alerts triggered in an efficient manner."
"We were supporting a bank infrastructure using SCOM, and their application availability improved a lot as we had the real time monitoring of the applications due to which application issues were fixed before the end user comes up and complains."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"Does a great job with Microsoft technologies."
"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."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."
"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"If it could have SysLog capabilities and if the Microsoft Management Packs were out of the box instead of a separate download."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"This product is not easy to use."
"The console is a point to improve, because it is very heavy and a web console should be in HTML5."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
"The solution is expensive."
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SCOM's pricing is average."
"The platform is cost-effective due to our existing Microsoft support."
"We have an enterprise agreement that includes this product as part of it."
"The pricing and licensing are fair."
"It is the cheapest product available in the market."
"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 very cheap because it's included in the license for the System Center suite, which is around $8,400 per CAL."
"The pricing is good, and it's part of their system center suite."
