User-friendly, simple to set up and easy to configure
The dashboard needs to improve. It's not so clear right now. We need it to be more usable. We want all of our reports in one easy-to-access place. Sometimes we get stuck and have to rest the gateway. After we do that, it'll start working again. We're still new to the product and we're not using every aspect of it.
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

"It's very easy to manage and use."
"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"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."
 

Cons

"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"They need a little more self-service."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"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."
"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."
