Dev Ops Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

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.

Comprehensive monitoring streamlines operations with room for user support enhancement

I am interested in improving the flexibility of ScienceLogic's user interface, configuration, and customization. I am particularly keen on learning about issues raised by the ScienceLogic support team. Whenever we encounter difficulties, I raise vendor cases and am eager to deepen my understanding of those cases. Additionally, I want to learn more about ScienceLogic's dashboards, which display crucial metrics about collectors, their health, and devices aligned to them. The dashboard should be more detailed. Regarding improvements to ScienceLogic's technical support, my last company was IBM in India, and I worked on IBM MQ monitoring until my last day. I engaged with the LogicMonitor support team for MQ-level incidents, but these issues remained unresolved even after 10 to 15 days. On my last working day, I assisted with one such vendor case, and I am unsure if that issue was ever resolved. ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time. During my time working on MQ-level cases, including a power pack upgrade that did not fix the issues faced, I provided all necessary steps with the help of the middleware team. However, there were still gaps that needed addressing.

Pros

"The alerting features are good"

"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."

"Their customer service is unparalleled."

"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."

"This is the best tool ever which allowed us to consolidate from various monitoring solutions such as HPOV, CA and SCOM."

"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."

"Overall, I really like the product, and I recommend it."

Cons

"It's not easy for everyone."

"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."

"Before ScienceLogic, our monitoring was fairly difficult to do. We were kind of limited in our capabilities."

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

"If I were a small to medium business, I probably wouldn't choose this provider. It is a heavily configurable, heavyweight, and scalable IT solution for IT infrastructure monitoring."

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

"Reporting needs to be improved. It was sold as a tool we could use for our clients and it was a complete failure."

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

"It was challenging onboarding users."

"They should improve their support process and add chat."
