Provides end-to-end application monitoring, inbuilt reporting and capable of monitoring the operating system
Might be the APM (Application Performance Monitoring) solutions, which it lacks compared to other tools. I don't know what other tools are in the market, so I don't know what SCOM lacks. I need to check, as it depends on the requirements. Once other teams have the requirement, and if that is not fulfilled, maybe they would have chosen another tool. But for me, whatever requirement my user provided has been fulfilled via SCOM. So there might be a few other requirements, which are from other teams, like software development teams, Java teams, and so on. They might have different requirements, but I haven't got those in my scope. That's the problem. If they had been in my scope, I would have started exploring it, and then I would have known if it's lacking or if it's already there because I haven't used a few features in SCOM, like distributed application monitoring and other stuff. In future releases, I would like to see APM solutions and dashboards like Grafana. It's not like Grafana. If it is possible to integrate with Grafana, that would be great because I have a lot of data in the data warehouse. If I get a chance to integrate with Grafana, I can show it there because SCOM collects a lot of data from the servers.

Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise
The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"It's easy to use."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"Key features for us are custom reporting, 95th Percentile, and trend lines."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
"This solution has helped us to proactively identify issues and push some of those fixes down to tier one."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"If somebody is complaining about slow networking then this solution allows us to see various ports to find out whether they are being overloaded."
"The most important feature is just the fact that it doesn't aggregate the information up, and I can look at detailed information going back quite a long time."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"The price could be improved."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"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."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"With Statseeker I'd like to see some flow, i.e. what's tuning-up the network. The trend I like is managing the traffic load by going to the cloud."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing and licensing are fair."
"If you have a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, then this is part of the agreement."
"The platform is cost-effective due to our existing Microsoft support."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $30 per user, per month."
"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."
"SCOM is very cheap because it's included in the license for the System Center suite, which is around $8,400 per CAL."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"We have permanent licenses so there's really no cost, other than ongoing maintenance. When I think about it, that's running us about $20,000 a year."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
