Mani Velayudhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, SAP Basis at The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company
Useful automation capabilities, scales well, and simple implementation
We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities. Looking ahead to future releases, I would like to see more advanced automation features. As a long-term goal, I am considering the possibility of automating SAP system upgrades. While this would not be an easy feat, advancements in technology may make it feasible in the future. Overall, a key feature I hope to see in future releases is increased automation capabilities.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"You can customize alerts based on need."
"Deployment was amazingly short and simple; I do not think I have seen any SAP-related product installs ready to work so fast, and out-of-box it included most of the functions and settings that we needed."
"I definitely recommend this solution, it provides good value for money."
"It's just very user-friendly, and it's very easy to monitor the servers using Avantra."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"It prevented two major failures in our SAP production systems."
"Technical Support: The best I've ever experienced."
"I have thought long and hard about the following statement but if I had to setup another shop all over again EM7 would be the first tool I would fire up #truestory."
"The integration of ScienceLogic with our existing IT ecosystems has significantly benefited our organization, as all alerts now directly go to IBM Netcool and then to the ITSM tool, ServiceNow."
"The customizable dashboard is my favorite feature because I have everything that matters to me in my role available immediately at sign on, and we can also customize a customer's dashboard view so that from analyst to C-level executive we can give the customer exactly what they want and need to see at sign on."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The stability of ScienceLogic is great."
"ScienceLogic has given us the ability to generate tickets directly from monitoring events."
"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."
 

Cons

"A downside of Avantra is that it comes with predefined values."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"The dashboard needs to improve; it's not so clear right now and we need it to be more usable so we can have all of our reports in one easy-to-access place."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"I think they can improve their UI, while very intuitive, I would like to see graphic updates."
"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)."
"The reporting module needs work."
"ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time."
"As we have increased the amount of devices and the range of those devices we have run in to scaling issues which will most likely cause us to stand up a brand new instance of ScienceLogic to meet our needs."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
"The overall product rating is six out of ten. It's suitable for specific customers, although slower in implementation and offering tougher ROI compared to some."
"The UI takes a bit to learn but once you get past that it gets the job done."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
