Facilitates valuable patch cycles, but the web client is not very intuitive and needs updating, and the scripting has room for improvement

The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive. It could use some updating and some thought around the UX. Also, with the scripting, I would like to see something where it could have third-party scripts already pre-built, and all you have to do is say, "Hey, I need this," and go load it. It's not as automated as I'd like it to be.

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

"The implementation is nice and easy."

"It is very scalable."

"A good automated scripts feature."

"The initial setup is easy and the deployment is quick."

"ConnectWise Automate's interface is pretty easy to use. It's pretty intuitive to get around and navigate it. It does what I need, which is usually connecting to the client and customers systems."

"Remote access and detailed monitoring help us support our equipment."

"Scripting and patch management are really important for us. Patch Manager is something that we use a lot, and we would love to have it continually improved. It is one of the most useful features for us for controlling patches and other things for different clients."

"This product saves us a lot of time and increases our efficiency."

More ConnectWise Automate pros

"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."

"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."

"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."

"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."

"ScienceLogic's custom enablement, which I can achieve as a Python developer, is unique."

"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."

"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 solution provides good infra-monitoring features."

More ScienceLogic pros

Cons

"Their support needs to be better."

"The fixed client for Automate is slow. The web client is not very intuitive."

"I have a problem with the reports available on the solution. I don't understand how to work with the reporting functionality. For example, when I want to give a report for a specific machine, ConnectWise doesn't seem to have this as an option. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if the reporting functionality is just poorly conceived."

"In Patch Manager, there should be more reportability so that it is easier to see the updates that I have applied to a machine and when the next update will happen. A lot of times, it seems like all the information is kind of thrown all over the place, and you can't really see it all at the same time. There should be a simplified patch data view that allows us to quickly confirm that our various clients are getting patched as they should be."

"They could use some automated alerts particularly when we're talking about an MSP that might shoot over."

"The wait time for a support ticket to be addressed needs to be reduced. They take a couple of days to get back. It is a little frustrating when we have to wait for a couple of days. A lot of times, the issue is critical for us. If we're reaching out to their support team and submitting a ticket, it is because we need it handled quickly."

"This is a raw system. Of course, it has some flaws that could be improved. But, it's something that we will have to work with to get to the point where we need this, we request it and they do their best to make it happen."

"Technical support was helpful."

More ConnectWise Automate cons

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

"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."

"They need a little more self-service."

"It was challenging onboarding users."

"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"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."

"The product is not user-friendly."

"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."

More ScienceLogic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe Automate is available for around $2."

"Pricing and licensing are reasonable."

"From what I've overheard, it is pretty comparable to other solutions in terms of price."

"I pay $85 a month per user for a ConnectWise package that contains multiple solutions."

"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."

"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."

"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."

"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."

"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."

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

"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."

"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
