SCOM is more suited for Windows-based devices such as servers, etc. SCOM is less suited where you are trying to monitor cloud services like VMs, storage, etc.

System Center Operations Manager is really built for a wide variety of scenarios. But it works best with Microsoft software like Windows since it is the same vendor.

Where there are only Unix/Linux platforms then the features of System Center Operations Manager are currently limited, but hopefully Microsoft will address this in a future update.

Well suited for IT Departments that can budget the funds and time needed for setup and maintenance of SCOM. The end product is well suited for medium to large environments that have 100's of resources that require monitoring and reporting. Enterprise level statistics are at your fingertips with a few clicks of a mouse after the product has been configured and agents have been deployed. As I said previously, we are a small business and I was fortunate enough to be able to budget this product into our environment. It did take us a while to configure and fully deploy, but as a result, we are well-informed and are able to extract detailed information as it pertains to usage/consumption of our workstation and server resources to include performance metrics and any errors that may arise.

Systems Center Operations Manager is particularly well suited to larger environments, especially when running systems by different vendors. However, it is quite management intensive if you want to use it to its full potential.
