HI I have used both and they are distinct products. SaVision is a mapping tool SquaredUP is a metrics solution.
Squared up is fantastic and in our upcoming SCOM 2012 deployment will be deploying it. I do have some reservations about scale out as SCOM grows. I would recommend both to enhance your scom deployment.

While it is still a great product and integrates well with other MS solutions, what I see lacking today is: * Good out-of-the-box dashboards that are accessible via web using whathever device you have in your hand (ipad/smartphone/...) * Auditing of SCOM configuration without needing administrator access * Auditing of SCOM changes, including who has changed what configuration when * out-of-the box trending on datawarehouse data * Better auto-tuning thresholds * Better network monitoring * Easy to use authoring of custom rules/monitors * Practical debugging of custom rules/monitors * Correlation of events! This needs to come if we want to give SCOM a real chance of becoming a MoM (Manager of Managers). * FIX THE FOCUS BUG of the SCOM console * etc...

It was so fast, useful and pleasant to play with that I realized how broken SCOM is right now. What I liked about that product was how easy you can browse performance metrics collected by SCOM and easily adjust the timeline (last 7 days, 30 days last year). Well, many other things I liked but this mail is not about promoting that product. This email is more for complaining about SCOM ☹ !! I looked at the Teched 2014 sessions(System Center Operations Manager: Monitoring in a Modern World<http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/Europe/2014/CDP-B347>) describing where they are putting their effort and nothing about the aging Silverlight web console replacement, nothing that looked major to me about SCOM. It looks to me they are putting all their effort on Ops Insight and relies on 3rd party to fill gaps with SCOM. I do get the importance of Ops Insight but I feel like we are abandoned with SCOM while we still need improvements, and in some cases, major ones. Am I alone to feel that way ?
