"It is simple."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."

"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."

"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
