Below are some points that I observers are :- 1. proper monitoring agents. 2. best log management . 3. support power shell which help to perform automation . 4. better connectivity between management server and SCOM agents.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I would like to add some of the points under this tag are :- 1. Customization option for monitoring also can creating your own monitors.(PowerShell Scripting) 2. Monitoring Microsoft OS and back-end solutions like Exchange and SQL Server. 3.

Allows to visualize our systems in a single interface and see the status of health as well as relevant performance metrics.

Few are the dislike about the product or service are :- 1. Its real-time status updates are a bit slow. 2. Support for monitoring of Linux OS is not mature enough 3. Basic agents still don't work with all UNIX/Linux flavors 4. Possibility for agentless monitoring could be helpful in some cases, but it has a lot of limitation in SCOM.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Below are some recommendations :- 1. where we need a system to monitor different located windows machine. 2. Where we need to monitor multiple services and check status of that. 3. where we have to trigger an alert before critical deadlock/functionality about to break/occur.
