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.

Integrating third-party tools for effective data management and reporting
There are challenges with the data collector options in Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics. When I upgrade, the data collector tends to stop working, requiring me to open a case with Veritas. It takes them a long time, usually over a month, to resolve the issue, which is a pain point. I believe improving this aspect would enhance the user experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"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."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"The many features offered for one price, including discovery, asset management, alerting, and ticketing, with simplified ease of integration across all features."
"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."
"We lacked the power or features that the EM7 dashboards provide, and have won more than one account based on that alone."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"The product provides agentless monitoring which is based on SNMP so there's no need to install the monitoring agent on each and every server."
"The scalability is great. It is one of the best advantages that I find important."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the insight it provides on the console."
"It's helpful because I can have full visibility of my IT environment."
"The valuable features include getting an overview of the backup status and gaining an understanding of my backup environment."
"The most valuable aspects of Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics are its reporting capabilities and the ability to integrate with third-party tools, such as an ITSM system, for automated checks on live backup statuses."
"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"My experience with the technical support by Veritas is pretty good."
"Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics is technically much simpler than many backups, which provides a competitive advantage."
 

Cons

"Use the professional services proposed solution to support private MIBs, we are encountering what appears to be poling time outs, which creates false positives."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"The product is a bit expensive, but impressive capability and expandability comes at a price."
"They need a little more self-service."
"ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time."
"Before ScienceLogic, our monitoring was fairly difficult to do. We were kind of limited in our capabilities."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring."
"Turning it on was pretty straightforward but getting it configured was a Herculean task and a lot of work."
"The documentation could be better; this should be improved."
"During the last issue that occurred due to the counter-strike, we needed recovery instantly for a large number of machines, more than a thousand machines, and Cohesity was the best solution for us."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment. Veritas Resiliency Platform is not very handy for cloud-to-cloud, cross-platform replication."
"The quality of technical support has decreased over time with slower response times compared to before."
"The process should be made easier. It is very complicated, and there is more with NetBackup; it is very difficult for me to oversee."
"The process should be made easier."
"The solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
"The technical support from Veritas is disappointing as they take a long time, often over a month or two, to resolve issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"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 solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"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 product has a fair price."
