When running many on premise workloaads for 5 to 10 years, SCOM is still a viable solution, moreover with SCOM 1801and the semi-annual releasy cycle (SAC). Howeverm whne runing all your workloads in the cloud, OmS could be a good replacement. When running hybrid, both solutions could work for you.

We have the beginnings of migration talks to Azure, but nothing really in place, besides a single website with it's database.Joe H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12958833506938182909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-19325432237122025102018-01-11T17:15:55.822+01:002018-01-11T17:15:55.822+01:00Marnix, This was a great series, I thoroughly enjo...Marnix, This was a great series, I thoroughly enjoyed every piece, especially this one on SCOM. It is obvious that MS isn't investing in this product, and a shame since it is so vast and useful. In my experience, most organizations are not interested in the best available products, nor even running them in the best possible manner. They balance risk vs. benefit vs. cost, and, as we in the "engine room" understand, most holders of the purse strings do not concern themselves with how well something is run, but instead IF it runs, and how much it costs. As long as the engine is running, they pay no attention. SCOM fits that category: do we really need to put such time, money, and effort into a product that just watches the shop, especially if it is all in the cloud? Doesn't MS keep an eye on that? Relating just how important such functions are can be a challenge, when the short-term bottom line is of such high priority... especially when nothing goes wrong (thanks to us watching the shop!). It is when that engine stops running without warning that all these efforts can be appreciated... or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629060142693856099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-51872054496870474172017-12-14T13:10:16.007+01:002017-12-14T13:10:16.007+01:00Great writeup Marnix.

Now all eyes are on OMS.Michiel Woutershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623603429909806477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414432572587218573.post-4202663814713660512017-12-13T19:44:00.550+01:002017-12-13T19:44:00.550+01:00Agree with most everything stated in this post.......Agree with most everything stated in this post....one only has to look at the number of SCOM sessions offered at the last Ignite conference (none). It still boggles my mind that it took them almost a decade to implement something as basic as scheduled maintenance mode. SCOM admins have been clamoring for that feature for ages. I also am disappointed in what they have done with the Bluestripe acquisition. Instead of integrating that application-mapping functionality into SCOM they made it into an OMS solution instead. Application-Mapping and Transaction monitoring could have really taken SCOM to the next level.

It has huge capabilities in the management packs, altough not very simple to create, but still powerful.<br />Apart from OMS/Log Analytics probably will have richer customization down the road, i havent found any product that does object based monitoring as good as scom, and still have the extension capabilites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
