MUBDIUL ISLAM - PeerSpot reviewer
NetFlow monitoring has improved operations but needs better configurations
For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface. When I add the interface, I am confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint. If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure. Another issue is with threshold values; sometimes, it shows kilobytes (kB) while our threshold is set to gigabytes. This can be confusing. Improving this aspect would be beneficial. In URL monitoring, there is room for enhancement.
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

"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."
"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."
"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."
"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."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"Power packs."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
 

Cons

"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."
"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."
"The dashboard could include more features."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."
"They should add more features to URL monitoring."
"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."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."
"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."
"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."
"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."
"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."
"The pricing is moderate."
"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."
"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
