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.

A cost-effective solution to monitor customer networks
We are not getting any issues with the integrations. Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management. People must rely on and utilize it to enhance anything they want to increase, as it helps minimize the product. Overall, I rate the solution a nine 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

"It has given us comprehensive monitoring across all platforms."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Improved network infrastructure monitoring which reduces any unplanned outages."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"After deploying ScienceLogic in our infrastructure and configured IT services around our critical applications we have experienced a considerable drop in major incidents which impact our customers."
"The support's been fantastic."
"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."
"It has allowed us to grow, as we’re able to offer new services to our customers that they didn't have in the past, opening a whole new door of monitoring offerings to our customers and what we can provide for them on top of what we already are providing."
"The most valuable feature of Versa Director is analytics."
"Versa Director's best feature is the ease of configuration and customer and vendor management."
"Versa Director is a beneficial product for the environment my company has."
"Versa Director has easier customer reports, utilization monitoring, graphic shaping monitoring, configuration, template shaping, and deduplication compared to Fortinet and Cisco."
"I think the most valuable functionality is some of the policy pieces that are quite useful."
"Versa Director is the fastest engineering tool and is ideal for use without product management."
 

Cons

"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"The UI takes a bit to learn but once you get past that it gets the job done."
"They need a little more self-service."
"Overall monitoring capabilities could be improved. We run into instances where we are not able to configure monitoring for specific things and it requires quite a bit of manual labor to accomplish these tasks."
"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."
"Turning it on was pretty straightforward but getting it configured was a Herculean task and a lot of work."
"Use the professional services proposed solution to support private MIBs, we are encountering what appears to be poling time outs, which creates false positives."
"It requires some simplification."
"I think the one area that could be improved is that there are a lot of features; that is also an advantage but it makes things a little difficult, so I'd like to see some simplification so that there is less bloat."
"Versa Director's deployment process is not the best."
"What needs improvement in Versa Director is maturity because, from an operating point of view, it's not mature enough. You'll still need to do a lot of research on Versa Director, so if it could mature faster, that would be very good."
"Versa Director's on-prem SD-WAN hardware and SSL VPN software are not integrated, so you have to buy a separate subscription for the SSL VPN."
"Versa could be more AI-oriented."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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 license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"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."
"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."
"Having to buy separate licenses for the on-prem SD-WAN hardware and SSL VPN software makes Versa Director very costly compared to other solutions like Fortinet and Cisco."
