A cloud solution for warehousing with a troubleshooting feature

The initial setup is straightforward. It's based on user requirements. We also conduct heat mapping using a couple of tools. The only requirement is to understand the technical or configuration aspects from the user's end and then configure it. Mist takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes for a particular deployment. You need to understand the end user's environment and have a concrete plan on whether it's a greenfield installation or an existing one, considering the density and height. Based on that, we need to develop a passive heat map. Then, you need to discuss with the user to understand exactly what needs to be configured and what they require in their environment. Based on that, you can proceed with the installation. Additionally, you can perform post-installation heat mapping to ensure it matches the earlier heat map. I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Provides great visibility, offers quantifiable data, and helps with testing latency tolerance

When you look in the layer 7 environment, you actually can see the code operating against the two parties. It could be a client server, a web server, or a database server. It could be a database server and another database server. You can look at whatever those application components are and you see how they're interoperating. If for some reason, there's a runaway command or something that's inefficient, you can see the command that's being executed and the players that it's operating against. I did that with the infrastructure team and the application development team, and we could very quickly remedy problems with the application that the organization was facing for an extended period of time, even before my project was initiated. I've recently looked at their current offering and see that they can investigate Layer 7 network to see what commands are being written and passed or returned. That's quite useful. It will help identify latency and if it is related to the traffic or the code itself. That, in turn, helps people debug more quickly. We can rectify issues in days as opposed to months. I like that we have quantifiable data in order to get true measures. The solution provides more visibility into the monitoring of traffic. It helps address blind spots. It develops an intelligent fabric that gives you a more realistic view of the true traffic within the environment. When it comes to the visibility into the infrastructure, it is imperative that the people applying these probes understand the reference architecture and understand their segmentation model. Sometimes if an organization has a compliance responsibility, then normally, the segmentation models are somewhat defined. If, for some reason, the organization is open and there aren't too many like that anymore, then there are no problems. You start to segment the incident and try to understand the relationship between these different assets and the environment, it might block traffic and you might not be able to see it. When you're dealing with Cisco fabric, if for some reason you have a host hanging off a distribution switch and another host hanging off a distribution switch based on the Cisco fabric, that traffic may never hit the core switch. Sometimes people analyze NetFlow off the core, but if something is operating through a distribution switch, you will never see that traffic when you're dealing with a Cisco fabric. I define that as a layer 2 blind spot. In order for you to rectify that, you have to have probes in environments that travel through the course switch to see the full amount of traffic. Once you set up the fabric, that becomes one large network to your network environment, and they're not traffic tracking anything within it until it hits a port somewhere. Alerting is becoming more critical over time. I've been in this business for a long time. Twenty years ago we'd be in a data center and we'd have a perimeter network and we'd be done. The bottom line would be very difficult for someone to come in and compromise my environment. Then we extended our environments from on-premise into co-location. Now we actually have traffic that goes over a wide area network. As such, our security profile changes over time. At first, we would normally do it through all layer 2 relationships or VPN-type environments, but now we're doing it over the internet. The instant we poke a hole through your internet, even though we have a tunnel within it, we're exposed to a higher-threat environment. Now that we're in the cloud, we're going through a higher-threat environment. Around two years ago there was an exploit that focused on the chip. So even if I'm using a cloud provider, I'm leveraging their hypervisor, and I have my own tenancy, at the end of the day everything runs through a processor. So when that processor exploit came through, around four years ago, that problem's wide open. At the end of the day, now more than ever, monitoring is important. Somebody noticed a spike in traffic, somebody compromised the environment. It was a ransomware attack. Because of that leading indicator plus the consideration of the compute environment as well, they could shut down the attack but if they didn't have that capability, they would've been taken advantage of. Based on the ability to look for those leading indicators that can be fed back or introduced into your SIEM environment to make sure that you're responding to any threats that may occur, which are more prevalent now than ever before. The user interface they have right now is very powerful.

Granular discovery, good integration, with responsive and available support

I didn't work much on ScienceLogic, but I was completely involved in the integration and transition of the product, as well as meeting with management and discussing the product. In addition, I have worked as a visual contributor to discover devices and communicate with the networking team about how to come up with solutions. Aside from all of this, there are limitations. When I mentioned limitations, one of the things I mentioned was application monitoring. However, if I talk about infrastructure monitoring, as I previously stated, I would prefer to use ScienceLogic as an infrastructure monitoring tool. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we have options such as Windows, and Windows environments. Each and every customer will have their own Windows 80 servers, as well as their own active directory and other Windows-based servers. When it comes to Windows-based servers, ScienceLogic suggests using PowerShell to monitor them. PowerShell configuration, resource groups, and so on are not simple. Because, when you first start using PowerShell to monitor, you must manually configure all of these things by logging into the server, because PowerShell is not always configured. PowerShell has not been updated. PowerShell has some issues that you must troubleshoot. Believe me, I literally worked to discover approximately 12,000 Windows devices within the previous company around the world. When I first tried to discover it using normal discovery, it only found about 5,000 devices. Where exactly are 5,000 and 12,000? I literally had to work on each and every one of those 7,000 devices to figure out why it wasn't being discovered. When it comes to Windows monitoring, we must plan ahead of time before we begin discovering devices. We must have knowledge of where the devices are and what exactly the legacy servers are, can just get rid of those legacy servers, what are the active directory servers, and how many active directory servers are there. When we talk about Linux, Unix, AIX, and these devices, your storage devices, and network devices have little trouble. However, if you want to find these Windows-related devices, you must plan ahead of time. This was one of the issues I encountered. ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others. It may try to start a monitoring application at some point. At the same time, it should have some automation options, such as the ability to automate events. Though it has, it does not have inside the box; however, we will need to do some scripting and other things to automate things. Perhaps it could include some within-the-box automation that can assist us in consolidating events or taking action on the consolidated events within ScienceLogic.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

"The product helps us understand networks and user experience. It helps us to understand the issues."

"The solution's technical support is very good."

"This solution helps prove that, if we move to cloud, we'll still be as effective as we are on-premises."

"We get complete, hop-by-hop visibility into the internet and we can know how much latency is taking place from one hop to another. That way, we know whether a particular hop belongs to the ISP, or that it is something owned by our own client's office, or is something to do with the SaaS network."

"A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen."

"The main feature that we use is what they call Delivery, which is the testing of network paths end-to-end."

"Delivery and experience are valuable. The usage in terms of the traffic application captures and other similar things is also valuable."

"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."

"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."

"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."

"The power flow is great."

"Power packs."

"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."

"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."

"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."

More ScienceLogic pros

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"The technical support needs improvement."

"Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that."

"Instead of integrating with other people, they should expand their interior capabilities."

"AppNeta by Broadcom needs to add more features to its dashboards. It also needs to work on providing out-of-the-box reports."

"I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement."

"I would like to see some advanced dashboard features. It could also be integrated with third-party tools. For example, an integration with a reporting solution would be helpful. Out-of-the-box, there are few dashboards or reports. What it does have is useful, but there should be additional dashboards."

"Cloud monitoring could be better. That's one of the biggest pain points for me. I have shared this feedback with them multiple times, but they're limited to some extent. That's one area where I've seen a problem."

"They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes."

"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."

"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."

"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."

"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."

"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."

"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."

"It was challenging onboarding users."

"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."

More ScienceLogic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"I inherited this from a different version, and I haven't yet gone through a renewal because we had purchased three years upfront. So, to me, that still remains to be seen. Once it comes up for renewal, we'll see what happens. Especially because now it is Broadcom, it is going to change anyway."

"It's worth the money."

"We typically don't get involved in the commercial side, but the list price is probably something like $3,000 for a small probe. However, that gives all of the features that the probe can do, whether or not you use them. In the old days, up until two or three years ago, each of the separate features was a separately licensable module so that you could add things that you wanted, and you didn't have to add things that you didn't want. They've changed all that now, and everything the probe can do is a part of the base license."

"Broadcom software is always a little expensive because they provide quality."

"The small probe is probably around $3,000 and the very large probe that they make for massive data centers might be $50,000 or $60,000. It's a subscription model, so the payment is per year."

"I find the solution's price to be fairly good."

"AppNeta by Broadcom is not expensive."

"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."

"Pricing between the two is quiet large therefore you can save some money if you don't require to collect all info on each device."

"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."

"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."

"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."

"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."

"I'm not the best person to discuss pricing, but what I do know is that it's a use-and-go structure. You use this much storage and pay this much for it. That's how it is. Every time, we continue to add a large amount of data to the environment."

"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
