The setup is straightforward, but t​he satellite service installation file could be separated from the server one.
* The status overview page provides a state of computers monitored and provides quickly what users need to focus on * The satellite service installed on remote computers is an easy way to add clients, plus it's easy to deploy and to configure * The licence is perpetual and not linked to one computer, so it's possible to remove a licence from one computer and use it on another with no extra cost

Comprehensive monitoring streamlines operations with room for user support enhancement
I am interested in improving the flexibility of ScienceLogic's user interface, configuration, and customization. I am particularly keen on learning about issues raised by the ScienceLogic support team. Whenever we encounter difficulties, I raise vendor cases and am eager to deepen my understanding of those cases. Additionally, I want to learn more about ScienceLogic's dashboards, which display crucial metrics about collectors, their health, and devices aligned to them. The dashboard should be more detailed. Regarding improvements to ScienceLogic's technical support, my last company was IBM in India, and I worked on IBM MQ monitoring until my last day. I engaged with the LogicMonitor support team for MQ-level incidents, but these issues remained unresolved even after 10 to 15 days. On my last working day, I assisted with one such vendor case, and I am unsure if that issue was ever resolved. ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time. During my time working on MQ-level cases, including a power pack upgrade that did not fix the issues faced, I provided all necessary steps with the help of the middleware team. However, there were still gaps that needed addressing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The satellite service installed on remote computers is an easy way to add clients, plus it's easy to deploy and to configure the licence is perpetual and not linked to one computer, so it's possible to remove a licence from one computer and use it on another with no extra cost"
"The possibility to develop your own VB scripts."
"ScienceLogic has given us the ability to generate tickets directly from monitoring events."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."
"However, once I began using ScienceLogic, I discovered that the main thing that fascinated me was discovering each and every child, which I had never seen in any monitoring tool."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities."
"Improved network infrastructure monitoring which reduces any unplanned outages."
"The customer service and support has been the best of any vendor I have had experience dealing with in my professional history."
"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

"Basic monitoring on Unix was working really well but it didn't really help under machines in Windows Domain Controller."
"The satellite service installation file could be separated from the server one. It would reduce the size of the file, and reduce the time to deploy on weak connections."
"Simplified Interface - ScienceLogic can be a bit overwhelming when you begin working with it."
"Before ScienceLogic, our monitoring was fairly difficult to do. We were kind of limited in our capabilities."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"The reporting module needs work."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring."
"As we have increased the amount of devices and the range of those devices we have run in to scaling issues which will most likely cause us to stand up a brand new instance of ScienceLogic to meet our needs."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"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."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"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."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
