We performed a comparison between OpenText Business Process Monitoring and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The stability has been very good over the years."
"Automates processes and allows reports and statistics to improve the speed at which changes and assets are managed."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"The solution should offer better integration with other tools from a service management perspective."
"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect. Having better documentation will allow business analysts and data center personnel to rely on the Micro Focus help desk less."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"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 solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"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."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
