The good reporting capabilities was one of the major functions which made us choose SCOM as the tool for handling MS application operations (only used for that, not the OS platforms).
SCOM offers robust monitoring capabilities and integrates with Microsoft Active Directory, enabling efficient management through automatic discovery. Its scalability allows expansion via more licenses, and integration with Azure Monitor enhances monitoring from on-premises. However, SCOM requires improvements in non-Windows, network, and device monitoring. Price concerns, complex setup, dashboard enhancements, and real-time monitoring issues persist, along with needed stability and performance optimization.
