Overall Satisfaction with System Center Operations Manager

It is used by IT infrastructure team to monitor server infrastructure including private cloud and server environment. Around 150 virtual server running on Hyper-V cloud as well as Virtual servers running on VMware VSAN . O.s includes most of Microsoft but some are Linux . We rely on SCOM for monitoring our server environment completely . Email alerts are configured for service owners and infrastructure team . Dashboard for mission critical servers for NOC team . And team wise dashboards .





Pros

  • Agent based monitoring
  • Management Packs . Best thing for monitoring particular service even when you have less knowledge of that service .
  • Alerts and dashboard

Cons

  • Custom MP creationn
  • Availability of Management Packs
  • custom deployment for Linux based machines specially SUSE linux
  • Prevention of Disaster
  • Proactive monitoring to address issues before disaster
  • Customization option to monitor non standard services
  • Thus avoiding downtime to avoid business impact
All comparative features are way expensive and complex to configure in all other competitors. Value to money and ease of deployment for Microsoft based environment
