Overall Satisfaction with System Center Operations Manager

It is our go-to when it comes to monitoring our entire data center. We have two data centers in active mode with more than 600+ servers and we have about 15 users using SCOM. I decided to implement SCOM because of its integration with virtual and physical servers, including SAN and network equipment from almost all the top brands. Another big plus for us were the workflows. You can create workflows so when SCOM detects an issue, it can auto execute tasks to solve the issue.
  • We use it with network devices. It detects and alerts us when there is an IP conflict.
  • It detects and alerts us when space is low on storage at the logical or physical level.
  • It detects and alerts us when critical services have failed and we have created workflows to auto-resolve problems in a very systematic way.
  • Microsoft needs to do a better job when it comes to wizards and configuring management packs.
  • Configure it and let SCOM do the work for you. You will get to know what is happening on your Datacenter.
If you want to cut costs and stop paying a 3rd party organization to monitor your Datacenter, SCOM is the way to go.
