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.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"ScienceLogic is multi-tenant from the ground up, starting at the code level."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"It has a lot of integration capabilities as well; we can integrate with a lot of things, monitor emails and APIs, handle customization and automation, and there is a great dashboard with many features to take advantage of."
"ScienceLogic was good at proactively identifying problems and could turn a 45-minute outage into a 20-minute outage or even catch early warning signs and solve issues in advance."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The Statseeker polling engine is very efficient and it does not miss any outage."
"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"This solution helps us to track down problems faster; whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"Statseeker helps reduce the complexity of our network monitoring because it's real-time, or somewhat real-time, so we're able to see stuff quickly and react to it."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, where you have everything right there on the screen."
"The product simplifies monitoring by providing real-time alerts through a GUI dashboard, email and texts."
 

Cons

"Error information doesn’t have a good information if something goes wrong while doing a device discovery (I tried this a while back- couldn’t be more specific)."
"Reporting is still a gigantic pain point, we invest a lot of cycles in manufacturing reports off-board -#notfun."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
"If I were a small to medium business, I probably wouldn't choose this provider. It is a heavily configurable, heavyweight, and scalable IT solution for IT infrastructure monitoring."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"If it's twice as much, however, then it's already getting a little expensive."
"The inclusion of configuration management features and SIP links would improve this solution."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
"The interface looks like a Windows 3.1 program. It needs a complete refresh."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"I would like to see more comprehensive reporting and alerting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"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 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."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
