Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"Valuable features include: SSM, which provides for orderly startup and shutdown; OPSLOG, which enables filtering by message-id, and/or jobname(s); Rules, as OPS/REXX interface streamlines deployment, interfaces easily with JES2 and z/OS."
"Once automatic IPL has been defined, anyone can perform an IPL with very little intervention. We know that all of the components will be started correctly."
"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."
"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"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."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
