Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment.

Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available.

The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles.

The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc.
