We performed a comparison between ScienceLogic and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"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."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"It is simple."
"The power flow is great."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"Power packs."
"With SolarWinds, we are now able to accurately gauge bandwidth consumption."
"They have instructional videos and other information available on the site to assist you with learning it."
"The bandwidth monitoring functionality is one of the most important features for our customers. When the customer notices that their bandwidth usage is too high for some reason, they will use the traffic analysis within SolarWinds NTA to identify which protocols (e.g. HTTPS) or applications are using up the bandwidth."
"As it offers enterprise solutions, it has all the essential features for business."
"In terms of the implementation, we've actually used SAM, the server and application monitoring tools. The network configuration tools are very useful in terms of bulk upgrading switches and infrastructure. Also, the Network Traffic Analyzer was extremely useful to track down errant users soaking up bandwidth."
"I would rate NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's stability ten out of ten."
"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to look for any increases in bandwidth over time so that we can plan before it becomes critical."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"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 is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"The solution needs better log management and log coordination with tools."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is application visibility because some applications aren't being recognized correctly. You can see applications such as Facebook and YouTube, but SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer needs to have more visibility into more applications. Currently, SolarWinds fails to detect more powerful applications, such as Zoom and Teams. If SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can recognize every application and be able to report on each in terms of bandwidth, then that would be good. This is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"This solution does not do a very good job when I am trying to look deeper into my internal network, in particular with respect to individual ports."
"As people always complain about the pricing for SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, it's an area for improvement in the solution. People find it expensive. Another area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is support, as it could be better."
"The problem is that SolarWinds is trying to bolt in too much and that can leave bugs, which you have to then sort out, leaving the product unstable. SolarWinds needs to try and slow down and improve the stability of the product, as opposed to bringing out more and more features."
"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
