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.

Comprehensive visibility satisfies needs but instant recovery is essential
I would recommend that they implement instant mass recovery because in Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics, it takes a very long time. 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. Management gained more confidence that in the future, we will go with Cohesity instead of Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics. I would still recommend Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics to others. They should implement new features which other competitors are offering to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"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."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"We chose the ScienceLogic platform because it really met and exceeded all of the requirements that we had put forth in the RFI."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"The best feature is how customizable the platform is, as it can be integrated into various systems and processes and customized to the client's liking."
"It's helpful because I can have full visibility of my IT environment."
"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"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 valuable features include getting an overview of the backup status and gaining an understanding of my backup environment."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the insight it provides on the console."
"Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics is technically much simpler than many backups, which provides a competitive advantage."
"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"The scalability is great. It is one of the best advantages that I find important."
 

Cons

"I would like to see an expansion of the API."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"Reporting needs to be improved. It was sold as a tool we could use for our clients and it was a complete failure."
"The UI takes a bit to learn but once you get past that it gets the job done."
"The reporting module needs work."
"Turning it on was pretty straightforward but getting it configured was a Herculean task and a lot of work."
"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 solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
"The process should be made easier."
"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."
"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."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment."
"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

"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"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."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"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."
"The product has a fair price."
