A user-friendly solution that is easy to install and improves visibility
I would like to see improvements made to the user guide. From my personal experience, it is helpful to see a list of steps describing what to do next in different situations. An example is what to do and what to back up in the case of certain types of failure. There are also cases where a customer can't understand specific features. Enhancements to the user guide would be helpful for this. More features for network fragmentation would be helpful.

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

"vSTREAM gives us better visibility and reporting about our network infrastructure, allowing for cost-optimization."
"One of the valuable features is the packet decoding."
"Sometimes it took a month to troubleshoot something that we can now do within days."
"The generation of KPI-like information that feeds to the nGeniusONE (management) server is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"ScienceLogic has given us the ability to generate tickets directly from monitoring events."
"ScienceLogic's custom enablement, which I can achieve as a Python developer, is unique."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Customer Service is fantastic."
"We lacked the power or features that the EM7 dashboards provide, and have won more than one account based on that alone."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
 

Cons

"I would like for it to have a smaller footprint of the virtual appliance and better performance."
"Room for improvement exists in filtering in the packet decode."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user guide."
"I would say that this is not a scalable solution."
"The stability is okay, but sometimes we see that the memory on the server is not 100 percent correct and we need to stop and start the software to have it reallocated again."
"They need a little more self-service."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring."
"Reporting needs to be improved. It was sold as a tool we could use for our clients and it was a complete failure."
"Usability is important. The interface is nice, but very complex and requires lots of learning involved in managing and navigating the product."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
"The product is a bit expensive, but impressive capability and expandability comes at a price."
"One of the main areas for improvement would be the reporting section of ScienceLogic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is quite expensive."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"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."
"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."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
