Simplifies RAID computation and technical support resolves issues effectively
The Lenovo configuration tool helps us with the computation of the RAID Controller and the installation of the operating system. If we encounter any sort of issue, we can troubleshoot the problem with the assistance of the Lenovo technical team. Sometimes, we do not receive complaints from the controller. We also receive software issue resolutions by managing the process with the assistance of the Lenovo technical team.

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.

Pros

"The Lenovo configuration tool helps us with the computation of the RAID Controller and the installation of the operating system."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to provide insights into server status and alerts."
"I would rate Lenovo XClarity Controller ten out of ten."
"The remote management capability was also good."
"The most valuable feature of Lenovo XClarity is the ease of use because of the interface browser that is highly compatible and it has mobile web management."
"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."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"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."
 

Cons

"They could enable notifications on emails and phones regarding control panel information."
"Lenovo XClarity can improve the dashboard integration. For example, graphs could be better. Additionally, more integration with other vendors is needed. For example, VMware has integration with a lot of vendors."
"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller. However, software issues are managed and processed with the help of the Lenovo technical team, and they sort them out."
"It worked very slowly. It was not well on performance."
"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller."
"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."
"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."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They need a little more self-service."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
