It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change.
It's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write. When we need to, the threshold is easy to change It would be nice to have a centralized client-settings management. At the moment, the client settings have to be changed individually. I've used it since 2011. The deployment of the new server…

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's easy to setup and the plugins are easy to write."
"We lacked the power or features that the EM7 dashboards provide, and have won more than one account based on that alone."
"ScienceLogic's custom enablement, which I can achieve as a Python developer, is unique."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The customer service and support has been the best of any vendor I have had experience dealing with in my professional history."
"Technical Support: The best I've ever experienced."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"The support's been fantastic."
 

Cons

"Deploying an agent leaves much to be desired."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"I see room to do better in the network and SNMP trap processing."
"As we have increased the amount of devices and the range of those devices we have run in to scaling issues which will most likely cause us to stand up a brand new instance of ScienceLogic to meet our needs."
"Use the professional services proposed solution to support private MIBs, we are encountering what appears to be poling time outs, which creates false positives."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
"Reporting is still a gigantic pain point, we invest a lot of cycles in manufacturing reports off-board -#notfun."
"The reporting module needs work."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"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 solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
