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

"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"It is simple."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"They need a little more self-service."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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 product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"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 pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"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."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
