Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.
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

"Offers a diversity of features."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"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."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"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."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
 

Cons

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"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."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"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."
