We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"It has high stability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is the capability of using classes within your management pack development."
"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."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"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 solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The security should be improved."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
"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."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"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."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
