We performed a comparison between ManageEngine OpManager and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."
"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."
"The solution is scalable."
"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."
"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."
"The most valuable feature of SCOM is real-time alerts."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"The stability has been great."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."
"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"There are some negative points about this product. Sometimes, the capabilities of the software don't appear, and you can't directly see the results. You have to wait for a long period to refresh the policy to push it to the software or other patches."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
