We performed a comparison between SCOM and ThousandEyes 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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"The most valuable features in SCOM are Azure monitoring and integration with Azure Monitor for monitoring Azure-hosted servers from SCOM on-premises."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"It's fairly easy to set up."
"ThousandEyes gives companies better visibility."
"From our perspective, ThousandEyes stands out as an invaluable tool because of its deep and extensive capabilities."
"The installation process is not hard at all."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was the ability to see how the connection quality is between the sites and get an alert if it was turning bad."
"The most valuable features are integration and ease of use."
"The company provides excellent service."
"The authentication overall - including to the VPN and LAN - is excellent."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
"Stability and some performance issues exist and they need improvement."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"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."
"I would like the product to offer more agility."
"The guest portal is hard to use."
"It would be nice if the solution covered other areas like server monitoring."
"It might be practical to extend monitoring capabilities to include network devices"
"ThousandEyes could improve the dashboards by adding more features."
"They only offer synthetic requests."
"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and user-friendliness."
"It's an expensive solution."
