Global Head of Monitoring at AXA Investment Managers
Good performance, efficiency, and focuses on monitoring
When you choose a solution, you compare the bad points and the good points with the requirements that are needed. DOI does have some bad points. The real bad part is that it's impossible to be integrated on-premise. Broadcom chose to build only on the Cloud. In the beginning, I first started to check on-premise solutions to integrate in the future with Cloud models. So when we chose DOI, we knew the bad point was its obligation to use the Cloud or the SaaS model. But it's not a bad point now because Cloud and SaaS computing is the future of IT. But it's too early to really know about the security and what the other companies are seeing and changing. Monitoring information is critical for a company - information about the IPs, names that we keep, and some technical information. Also critical is the security of the monitoring itself. Broadcom manages the security of the data well. If you have securable monitoring and your team is already using Century or other products, DOI is not a good choice because DOI is not open-source. DOI is a static solution so you will not have access to the code. It is difficult with Sharepoint, too. If you are not in the habit of managing your static Broadcom relationship, it's not easy. The support is in India and it's already closed by the midday shift. The Broadcom support is very bad. I had a previous integration of Broadcom and their static software. But I was able to manage the support. But for new customers, it's quite difficult to create this relationship. Please keep in mind, Broadcom is a very huge company and when you're small or medium, about 1,000 or so employees, if you don't have the team, monitoring will be difficult. If you start a new company or are a startup, don't use Broadcom software. You don't have the weight to negotiate with Broadcom. It's not a bad point with DOI, just a bad point with the Broadcom relationship. But if you only choose DOI, keep in mind that the product is not only its technical capabilities, but also it's support relationship with the enterprise. We already plan to integrate automatic recognition in future releases. Now we don't use a major part of the automatic recognition. The plan is to create or automatically correct some command execution or re-run of the image and to integrate the VPN. The next step is to use the automatic recognition and to bypass the human intervention and to have automatic intervention of the critical system.

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

"We chose DOI because during the proof of concept, the integration of all of our asset management and monitoring payments took three days, which was very short, very quick, and very efficient compared to other solutions where we spent around three or four weeks on integration."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the machine learning and the algorithm. We tried seven solutions. The good points of DOI are performance and efficiency under machine learning systems."
"ScienceLogic is a good tool, with strong SaaS-based monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments, and it covers many technologies from a monitoring perspective with solid AIOps and event management features."
"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 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."
"ScienceLogic has given us the ability to generate tickets directly from monitoring events."
"Technical Support: The best I've ever experienced."
"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 excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
 

Cons

"It's impossible to be integrated on-premise. Broadcom chose to build only on the Cloud."
"The Broadcom support is very bad."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"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 are often bugs in new releases."
"Before ScienceLogic, our monitoring was fairly difficult to do. We were kind of limited in our capabilities."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"Reporting is still a gigantic pain point, we invest a lot of cycles in manufacturing reports off-board -#notfun."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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 solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"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."
"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."
