We recently launched the public preview of a new tool that lets anyone dashboard anything – for free. Meet Dashboard Server! You can download it free because we wanted to get our incredible dashboards in the hands of more people. The SCOM community know us well but our dashboards are perfect for so many use cases beyond System Center monitoring. And if you love them as much as we think you will, all we ask in return is that you share that love by spreading the word.

Regardless of the SquaredUp product you use, the WebAPI tile is very useful when it comes to connecting to external data sources and showing them in your dashboards. It brings you closer to that single pane of glass dashboarding dream that we all have, which is why it is also one of our most used tiles!

What’s the future of SCOM? How do others set up their SCOM landscape? What tools are SCOM Managers using to help streamline processes? The answers are all here. The Big SCOM Survey 2021 is the first of what we hope to be an annual survey where we measure the pulse of the SCOM community, get insights and share best practices. This year, we asked 27 questions and had 118 respondents – and we’d like to share our findings with you.

Below is the full list of results for the Big SCOM Survey. We surveyed 118 SCOM users with 27 questions. For the key highlights and expert analysis of these results head over here.

Connecting Microsoft SCOM and ServiceNow is a no-brainer! If you want to synchronize your alerts with your incidents, view issues in real-time, and generally make your life easier then why wouldn’t you! But, we know not everyone is tech-savvy enough to develop these solutions themselves, so we’ve written this blog to give you a helping hand. So, if you want to give it a go and build your own integration tool, then here’s how to get started.

'SCOM is here to stay'. Please read the following extract from an article written by Richard Benwell, CEO at SquaredUp. Gartner predicts that 30% of Enterprise IT spending will be on cloud and outsourcing by 2023. That’s 70% spending on non-cloud and outsourcing – the in-house infrastructure and software we have today. And if you’re running traditional Windows and Linux workloads at scale, SCOM remains the best tool on the market.

How would your IT team be transformed if you could dashboard anything, for free? If you’re an IT pro and want an enterprise dashboarding tool that’s quick to implement, easy to set up, and effortless to maintain, you need SquaredUp Dashboard Server! The public preview of SquaredUp Dashboard Server just went live! Dashboard Server functions independently of SCOM and Azure and introduces a new PowerShell tile to take dashboarding a big step further. Now you can dashboard virtually any data.

A couple months ago, we hosted a week of community-led SCOM workshops and networking. These hands-on workshops took a deep dive into a series of topics handpicked by the SCOM community itself – and we are thrilled that the community found it valuable, as we learned from our post-event survey.

In our previous post on Grafana and SquaredUp, we compared the two tools across various benchmarks like ease of deployment, time to value, dashboard creation, dashboard sharing, and more. Both tools have their specific advantages over the other, but since the ultimate goal is to give you a single place to look – why not leverage Grafana for the visualizations and data sources it offers, but give them meaning by embedding them in SquaredUp?

Virtualization is part of many IT environments and a very effective way to reduce expenses while boosting efficiency and flexibility.
