Centralized monitoring has unified alerts and dashboards for critical cloud applications

We can improve a bit of UI aspects. The UI could be made more user friendly. Sometimes when identifying the specific logs patterns and identifying what metrics and what logs are coming in, going to a specific log explorer and finding it there is a little difficult. It would be very useful if we could group according to projects and have that UI a little more user friendly. The user interface part was a bit confusing in the beginning. To make it better, I believe we would need some more open sourced or freely available courses on Chronosphere which would help us understand the platform a bit more. The team provides detailed walkthroughs whenever you get into that. However, it would be better if we could have proper video sessions or documentation which would help us understand the tool a bit more.

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.

Cons

"Sometimes when identifying the specific logs patterns and identifying what metrics and what logs are coming in, going to a specific log explorer and finding it there is a little difficult."

"It's not easy for everyone."

"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."

"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."

"The reporting module needs work."

"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."

"The product is a bit expensive, but impressive capability and expandability comes at a price."

"Usability is important. The interface is nice, but very complex and requires lots of learning involved in managing and navigating the product."

"The overall product rating is six out of ten. It's suitable for specific customers, although slower in implementation and offering tougher ROI compared to some."

"I would like to see an expansion of the API."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."

"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."
