"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"It is very good at monitoring Microsoft Server."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"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."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
