Flexibility and detailed performance stats enable effective network monitoring
Spectrum is very good at monitoring all network faults and configurations. It enables me to take action based on network issues. The Performance Management provides detailed network performance stats, including CPU, memory, and interface bandwidth. Additionally, Spectrum is flexible and allows me to organize and treat devices uniquely without impacting other devices.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It makes things faster when we have our network operations center, they can look at their dashboards that we've created for them, and they can see problems immediately."
"Considering all these factors, it's really a good and easy product for analyzing your network performance, health status, and the quality of services."
"We have been able to get a little bit better at seeing more things in real time and more just in time, so we're less reactionary."
"The ability to very quickly and graphically navigate around, being able to zoom in to a timeframe, apply it to all the other panels... are all very intuitive."
"Great dashboards and good integration with other solutions."
"The integration to the other products that we use: NFA, we use ADA, we use Spectrum; and CAPM integrates all those into a single pane of glass."
"Since the implementation of the tool, it has cut down on probably 60% of our outages and letting us know what is going on."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"I have thought long and hard about the following statement but if I had to setup another shop all over again EM7 would be the first tool I would fire up #truestory."
"Power packs."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities."
"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 excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
 

Cons

"The dashboard features are very function rich, but the reporting feature is probably not as rich as we'd like it to be."
"It would be helpful if CA provided online training for its customers."
"CA PM can be complex to build and configure. Creating the folders / groups / sites required establishing many rule sets."
"I would say the initial setup is complex."
"DX Performance Management should increase high availability. If one of my two data centers goes offline and the other is operational, I need a seamless transition from the primary to the secondary data center. It's crucial to maintain consistent monitoring of the devices during this transition. Therefore, I require continuous, 24/7 monitoring of my system using this tool."
"There are some issues. We started supporting UTA and began to see both major and minor problems."
"Product has issue collecting IP SLA data."
"Even though we can see when something is not available, it would also be it would be nice if some sort of alerting took place to that you could know immediately if something went down."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"Overall monitoring capabilities could be improved. We run into instances where we are not able to configure monitoring for specific things and it requires quite a bit of manual labor to accomplish these tasks."
"I believe the knowledge base leaves a little room for improvement."
"Reporting needs to be improved. It was sold as a tool we could use for our clients and it was a complete failure."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of network devices."
"They should provide more scalable licensing for the product."
"Do your homework and know how many devices you will be managing out of the gate. Be sure to project what your growth will be each year."
"I like the licensing model because it's device-based."
"We were looking at other vendors in the marketplace for NetFlow, and CA just beat everybody else in price, cost, and the size to implement. ​"
"We purchase a license to use the solution every three years and we have multiple contracts. They have been increasing the price annually. We have a baseline for three years and then we need to pay the difference from the baseline, and we are in the process of negotiating a new price for all the licenses we need. The price overall is affordable."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
