Purneswara Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Consultant at KyndleIT Consulting
A stable tool that helps identify the complete flow analysis in a network
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the complete flow analysis can be identified through the tool. The classification of each protocol and how the bandwidth utilization is happening with the protocols while managing to get SLAs, IP protocols, and QoS metrics is possible because of the product.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO / Co-Founder at Aiops ltd
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.

"It is an overall stable solution."
"The custom report is the most valuable feature."
"For supporting flow-traffic monitoring, this product is the best option."
"Anomaly Detector - This detects the anomaly flows in infra environment and makes job easy to analyze issue."
"Despite the low level of support, I would still fully recommend this product, because even when not all the features are used, the advantage of having such a wealth of useful information about the network traffic in real time, together with such flexibility of its presentation, is undeniable."
"The customer service and support has been the best of any vendor I have had experience dealing with in my professional history."
"The many features offered for one price, including discovery, asset management, alerting, and ticketing, with simplified ease of integration across all features."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."

"The product provides agentless monitoring which is based on SNMP so there's no need to install the monitoring agent on each and every server."

"Customer Service is fantastic."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement."
"If one is able to find it at all, the documentation is often no help."
"Enhanced support should be given with APIs that work to maintain collected information."
"Prefer this product only if the scope of flow analysis is vast and for a limited scope I don’t prefer this product since the product licenses are very costly and it is a waste of money."
"Sometimes the custom report jammed in the MYSQL database."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"They need a little more self-service."
"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."
"Turning it on was pretty straightforward but getting it configured was a Herculean task and a lot of work."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you make a DX NetOps-based purchase and the complete suite of products that fall under DX NetOps from Broadcom, then you get Network Flow Analysis along with DX NetOps Performance Management and DX Spectrum."

"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
