Overall Satisfaction with System Center Operations Manager
Here System Center Operations Manager is being used across multiple departments.
System Center Operations Manager is a highly versatile and efficient monitoring tool which we are using to perform monitoring of our various servers and datacenter equivalent. We also generate performance analysis using System Center Operations Manager so we can predict when a certain resource will be exhausted and in this way we can plan for it accordingly.
The most amazing thing about System Center Operations Manager is that it is highly integrable with any other vendor hardware and software through what are called management packs. Using these management packs, which are readily available, one can monitor a large amount of hardware without worrying about the underlying vendor.
The second most amazing thing is that System Center Operations Manager alerts are highly customizable based on specific needs and requirements. We can granularly configure the alerts based on a wide variety of criteria and even create our own custom criteria, too. We can then create specific groups to forward the alerts to the relevant team so they can see it and take appropriate action promptly.
