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.

Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise
The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"The power flow is great."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
"This solution helps in terms of troubleshooting, and you can do capacity planning with it."
"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."
"If you need a product that's able to monitor all the ports in your environment or all the ports that you want, this is a great product to use. Statseeker is quite flexible in tailoring the product, spending time tailoring the product with you. It's fairly low maintenance. It's quite quick."
 

Cons

"They need a little more self-service."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
"They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance."
"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."
"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"It may be helpful to have more options in the alerting section."
"I would like to see the solution incorporate diagnosis of the workstation."
"Detailed data can be hard to extract in CSV form. Sometimes, being able to dump down raw data would be good so various time periods across a longer period could be analysed. At present, data can be presented within Statseeker, but there is lots of "white space" between data points."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"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."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"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."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"The yearly cost varies as per the number of devices being monitored. The cost for 25,000 devices is about $4500."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"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."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
