"It works better than other products I’ve used – namely SolarWinds, which is cumbersome and error prone for web app monitoring. SCOM is not."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."

"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The reporting part should be made simpler. While we can obtain all the reports we need, we always have to create work-arounds to get them."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"Technical support is an area that needs improvement. It is not available 24/7."
"I would like a much easier GUI so that I can delete events and logs, which will free up a lot of space."

"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."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"The configurations could be better. There are multiple tests where you can do something, but they can be a trigger as well. The overriding methodologies are not that easy. The configurations are difficult. The configuration and thorough day-to-day operations to get them to the level you want takes some time. It's very difficult."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
