Vinal-Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time analytics and alerts improve application performance and network operations
OmniPeek's ability to convert application visibility into flow helps me quickly understand application performance over LAN, WAN, or wireless. Its real-time analytics, integrated with LiveNX ( /products/liveaction-livenx-reviews ), allow me to monitor business-critical applications and set up alerts for application performance issues. This centralized dashboard and alert system is highly valuable for maintaining network operations.
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.

"It is simple."

Cons

"I would like to see the saving feature improved. We have had issues if you do not save your progress then you have to start from the beginning."
"I would like to see the tool work in an open environment the same as how it does in a closed environment."
"Making it more clear on how to configure the filters, or really automating them, would be an improvement."
"The solution's automation has room for improvement."
"I am not using OmniPeek for automation, we only do manual testing. Automation testing is tedious to do. The automation should be more user-friendly. I have exposed some APIs but the usage is not user-friendly."
"I don't see a clear roadmap in the future for improving this software."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
"They need a little more self-service."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different types of licenses available."
"The pricing for this solution could be improved, as it is a very expensive product."
"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."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"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."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"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."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
