This year's Best Mail Server Administration Utility, Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), delivers comprehensive event management of Windows servers, Active Directory (AD), Microsoft IIS, Exchange Server, SQL Server, and more. MOM is easy for small organizations to deploy and use but scales to meet the needs of large enterprises with thousands of Windows-based servers.
MOM's Enterprise event log collects and reports information generated from systems and applications across the corporate network. The product provides proactive monitoring through distributed capabilities that track and monitor problems, then send notifications (e.g., through pagers or email) or initiate actions to repair the problems. MOM comes with default rules and an installed knowledge base, both of which you can customize to meet your business needs.
