"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."

"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"I would like to see them improve their network monitoring."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
