Overall Satisfaction with System Center Operations Manager

System Center Operations Manager is used by our enterprise for Windows-based monitoring. It addresses multiple monitoring services, such as alerting for low disk space, high memory usage alerts, account creations, accounts being added or removed from groups, services stopping, and much more.
  • Real-time monitoring for alerting
  • Gathering performance counter resource usage
  • Delegation of seeing only what you should see
  • Creating custom alerts or monitors--all XML based
  • Easier way to monitor non-Windows systems (e.g., RHEL)
  • Reduces downtime for critical application
  • Provides predictive resource usage over time for future forecasting
This was used to monitor uor non-Windows systems and was cumbersome. Their licensing was per device with how many agents you needed; however, with System Center Operations Manager, their billing was a lot easier for their product.
