"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"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 resolution time takes longer than expected."
"It could do with more than one data centre/multiple AWS accounts in a pane of glass. Also, improved scalability to large environments would be helpful."
"It would help to maybe have a more graphical interface and more user-friendly graphics."
"There needs to be an option to capture all the sessions for all the users, not just samplings."
"The worst part is that the AppDynamics SaaS Environment has a lot of downtimes, and AppDynamics, despite our efforts, does not give us any feedback on these downtimes/incidents."
"The documentation and training material have room for improvement."
"AppDynamics is new to the cloud and could improve its cloud services, they are following a monolithic monitoring approach."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"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."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"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 must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"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."
