We believe in a different approach to selling enterprise IT software:
No mysteries, no hard sell.
That’s why Squared Up is an affordable, flexible, annual subscription with totally transparent pricing.
Squared Up takes minutes to install and every subscription comes with our friendly, expert technical support and free upgrades to new versions.
Provide HTML5 Dashboards to all your users and unlock the power of SCOM with a blazingly fast new web console.
Deliver complete end-to-end monitoring for your Enterprise IT applications through a single-pane-of-glass.
The Enterprise Application (EA) Designer enables you to model your applications and save directly to SCOM using the Squared Up Enterprise Application class, replacing traditional SCOM distributed applications. Using the designer, you can configure availability monitoring for your application, map your application using Visual Application Discovery and Analysis (VADA) and model the application’s dependencies.
Update your business dashboards with accurate availability information and meaningful status messages for your service desk and end users.
In addition to mapping out your application, the EA Designer will automatically setup TCP availability monitoring of each of the application components, giving your teams meaningful alerts for fast issue identification.
Use your application dashboards to report operational status and uptime of all of your applications to your business.
Out-of-the-box dashboards for Enterprise Applications enable you to rapidly deliver meaningful, end-to-end application monitoring to stakeholders across your organisation, from end-users, through IT teams to business managers and application owners.
By working closely with our SCOM management pack partners, VADA also supports mapping across load balancers such as F5.
For true enterprise application monitoring, you need to map your applications down to the individual websites, services and databases participating in the application. Leveraging the full power of the SCOM agent and its discoveries, VADA does exactly this.
At the heart of our Enterprise Application Monitoring solution is the ground-breaking VADA technology. VADA leverages the SCOM agent to dynamically map your applications across your infrastructure. By analysing network activity and correlating with component discoveries VADA can construct a complete end-to-end picture of your application.
The Enterprise Application (EA) Designer enables you to model your applications and save directly to SCOM using the Squared Up Enterprise Application class, replacing traditional SCOM distributed applications. Using the designer, you can configure availability monitoring for your application, map your application using Visual Application Discovery and Analysis (VADA) and model the application’s dependencies.
Use the EA Designer to configure URL or TCP- based outside-in availability monitoring of your applications, enabling you to surface meaningful application status dashboards and availability reporting to your business.
In addition to URL and TCP monitoring, our powerful custom PowerShell availability monitoring enables you to measure the availability of any application.
We're proud to deliver exceptional product support with a team of friendly, technical experts on hand to help you at every stage.
With so many features available to you, we make sure you have access to all the information you need through a library of 100s of KB articles and training videos.
Our engineering team are always busy cooking up exciting new features and with our annual subscriptions you'll always get access to the latest version, for free.
Squared Up is licensed by named user as an annual subscription, allowing your costs to scale with your usage.
Your subscription comes with a free dev/test license so that you can experiment with configuration changes and new versions without affecting production.
Run the installer (to create the IIS app), point it at SCOM (you'll need your management server address) and you're good to go!
Squared Up achieves everything it does without any new databases, meaning hassle-free deployment and maintenance.
Squared Up integrates with official SCOM API (and never directly to the ops database) meaning that every SCOM data query and operations is subject to role-based access control.
Use either forms logon (username and password) or integrated Windows Authentication depending on your requirements.
Configure multiple Squared Up web servers to be highly available using just a simple network share, ensuring your dashboards are always there for your operations teams.
Implementing full access control for your dashboards, Team Folders enables you to deliver dashboards and delegate control to different teams within your organisation (or to different clients if you are service provider).
Saving the best until last, the Matrix tile combines multiple visualisations into compact, data-rich grids giving you at-a-glance dashboards for every scenario.
If you're keen to roll up your sleeves and author a bit of HTML, use the Web tile to take your dashboards that extra step and add custom web content.
Use custom images - from world maps to company logos - to provide meaning and context to your dashboards.
Often used with the 'top N' reporting features, bar charts allow you to quickly focus on key resource usage metrics such as disk space and network utilisation.
A compact way of quickly spotting trends and spikes in your performance data.
One of the core visualisations, the line charts have been carefully designed to deliver clarity, style and functionality for your SCOM data warehouse performance data.
If you need more fine-grained health state monitoring, the Monitor tile shows individual SCOM monitor health in a variety of visualisations to suit the dashboarding need.
Fire up Visio, open or create any diagram you can imagine, associate with SCOM objects, applications and groups using Visio shape data and then import into Squared Up as a completely custom dashboard. Our unique Visio integration brings to life those application architecture diagrams sitting in your archives and enables you to create monitoring visualisations that are only limited by your creativity.
Combine with health state and SLA visualisation to give a complete picture of downtime of application availability or infrastructure components.
The SLA gauge visualisations use the built-in SCOM Service Level Tracking feature to report on application and server uptime. Use the gauges to create reporting dashboards to keep your operations teams and management informed of service levels and downtime.
SCOM's health state monitoring and rollup model is key to effective monitoring, and Squared Up's status dashboards use this to the full effect, allowing you to create clear, high impact dashboards describing the health of applications, servers and other monitored objects.
One of the essentials of SCOM, the alert visualisations offer both a summary of alert statistics - for use in a NOC dashboard, for example - and a detailed list that allows for interactive alert management.
The SCOM data warehouse is a goldmine of information - recording near real-time metrics from every node in your environment, and retaining over a year's worth of summary data for trend analysis and forecasting. With Squared Up performance reporting, the tedious days of generating SCOM reports are behind you. All of this data is now available at the click of a button for everyone in your IT organisation, giving them a whole new level of visibility into the performance of their systems.
Maximise the impact and visibility of your dashboards on that shiny new 50 inch TV in your operations center, with the dedicated full screen mode that strips out the chrome and focuses on the data.
A concept that sets us apart from all other dashboard technologies, our Total Dashboard Architecture dynamically generates drilldown dashboards for every monitored entity - from applications and server to databases and disks - giving you full 360 degree visualisations.
Go from zero to monitoring hero by publishing ready-made dashboards across your technology stack, built by experts in the community.
It takes minutes to create dashboards using our fully interactive designer. We've also made sure you don't need to be a SCOM expert, so specialists across your IT organisation can build the views they need.
The user interface that System Center Operations Manager deserves - blazing fast, easy to learn and accessible from any browser. A truly modern user experience that engages everyone with your monitoring data.
Need to troubleshoot while out of the office? Or walk into a meeting with a dashboard on a tablet? All of the Squared Up dashboards, alerts and performance views are available across all devices.
Despite the new dashboards in Squared Up, email notifications still play an important part in your monitoring strategy, so we provide you with a free tool to upgrade your SCOM email format to 'full colour' HTML and link users directly to alert views in Squared Up.
Proper use of maintenance mode is key to avoid alert noise. Squared Up gives your operations staff convenient access to maintenance for applications, groups of servers or individual servers. No more excuses!
The built-in company knowledge feature of SCOM has always had so much potential but is so complex to administer that it becomes impractical. Our alert management features include a simple HTML company knowledge editor that enables all of your operations staff to contribute.
SCOM management groups can be big places. Our global search feature allows users to instantly locate and view and monitored object in your environment.
No need to deploy the clunky SCOM operations console to your users anymore, Squared Up provides fast, simple access to all the key alert management features - including a smart UX to prevent accidental closure of monitor-based alerts - the bane of many SCOM administrators!
Export your performance reports or even whole dashboards out to Excel for further analysis or sharing. To make your life easier, we don't just export the numbers, but even generate graphs in Excel so you can add that trend line on to that disk space report that shows you're going to hit zero before the end of the quarter!
Want to share a dashboard with 100s or even 1000s of users across your organisation? Our unique Open Access technology allows you to do just that. More than just a read-only version, Open Access renders dashboards on the server-side and serves up a real-time version of the dashboard that is secure, scalable and affordable (it's free for unlimited dashboards and users!).
Join us every month as we deliver live technical deep-dives on Squared Up, SCOM and other monitoring topics.

For advanced data integrations, or for data that needs to come directly from one of your monitored servers, use SCOM tasks to query data on demand using the SCOM infrastructure. Need help authoring SCOM tasks? We have you covered there too with our free Community PowerShell MP.
Ridiculously easy, but ultimately very powerful, the SQL tile enables you to query any SQL database in your environment - from complex data warehouse analytics to business data from external systems.
Squared Up isn't the only tool out there with awesome visualisations, so we allow you to create mashups across your web-based tooling using HTML iframes embedded seamlessly within your dashboards.
We truly believe that every SCOM deployment would be better with Squared Up, so we’ve chosen a flexible, annual subscription model that’s affordable to SCOM deployments of all sizes.

From a commercial / licensing perspective, any of your Named Users are able to create their own custom dashboards using our In-GUI dashboard designer. However, from a technical point-of-view, typically you may not wish to allow this and so, by default, only SCOM Admins have permissions to create and edit Dashboards / Perspectives. More details on how those permissions can be manged are available in the following KB article;
https://support.squaredup.com/v3/Walkthroughs/HowToManageUserProfiles
