Good end-to-end voice quality monitoring and offers valuable features
The solution should have automatic baseline detection. On the per hour, per base, per week. That's usually the best. And on a per individual CI level. I know that they're working on it and when that's available then we will definitely implement it because it will reduce the effort we need to maintain all the products. Right now we have to set thresholds for every location, and it needs to be actually dynamic so if we have better thresholding, we'll have faster alarms across all our locations. We won't have to expend effort on it by resetting or checking them on a regular basis.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers comprehensive monitoring and tool consolidation but integration complexity needs improvement
There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks. Although these prebuilt features are great, there is considerable complexity in bringing them together to create a unified dashboard. Even with many good integrations and deep visibility, the implementation takes time, especially when it doesn't involve these integrations. While some other companies have easier APIs, using this solution demands significant expertise. It's challenging for new customers to implement independently. The implementation speed of non-PowerPack or non-out-of-the-box integrations should be improved. Additionally, the AI automation feature is not yet very rich due to resource constraints supporting a wide platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
 

Cons

"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"If I were a small to medium business, I probably wouldn't choose this provider. It is a heavily configurable, heavyweight, and scalable IT solution for IT infrastructure monitoring."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"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."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
