Senior Systems Administrator, Technical Lead at Connectivity Wireless
A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.
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

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good; it's very similar to SolarWinds, just with a different interface, and the majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The setup is very intuitive and quick - it all just took a few minutes we were done."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"It is simple."
"It has given us comprehensive monitoring across all platforms."
"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."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"ScienceLogic is multi-tenant from the ground up, starting at the code level."
"The support's been fantastic."
 

Cons

"Our network is made up of a lot of Cisco devices, and it needs improvements."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"The product is a bit expensive, but impressive capability and expandability comes at a price."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"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."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"The overall product rating is six out of ten. It's suitable for specific customers, although slower in implementation and offering tougher ROI compared to some."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"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."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"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."
"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."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
