It shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it's low
An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely. Besides a call center, we have a lot of employees in the field and on the road, therefore for management to have access to those numbers quickly, it would be very helpful.
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 shows us not only when utilization is high, but also when it is low."
"MetricsView allows us to keep an eye on computer memory, internal network availability, processors, etc. Letting us know where our issues are coming from based on those numbers."
"It allows us to easily troubleshoot computer issues instead of calling a tech person or do the troubleshooting ourselves and taking the time to do it."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"Power packs."
"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."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"ScienceLogic's custom enablement, which I can achieve as a Python developer, is unique."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
 

Cons

"An online app or download would be useful for the next release, possibly even a phone app that I could use to view my dashboard when I am stationed remotely."
"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."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"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."
