Room For Improvement

DX NetOps needs better support, enhanced usability, sophisticated features, automation, AI capabilities, and simplified programming and hardware requirements.
ScienceLogic needs better reporting, user interface, vendor support, simpler integration, improved API, and efficient application monitoring for enterprises.
DX NetOps is somewhat convoluted, and some of the programming constructs can be documented or driven through languages such as Python, Perl, and shell scripting, but they have their proprietary language, which may not be very user-friendly.
It would be useful to have more AI features.
While some other companies have easier APIs, using this solution demands significant expertise.
If the knowledge for implementation could be spread through articles, it would reduce this dependency.
Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

DX NetOps pricing offers cost-effective annual subscriptions with all features, competitive with IBM and Micro Focus, including support.
ScienceLogic offers flexible yet potentially high pricing, starting at $25K, with costs based on device count and features.
The licensing cost of DX NetOps is expensive, not very affordable, and on the top of the price range in the market.
I think the pricing is expensive.
It could be cheaper.
ScienceLogic is not that expensive and is cost-effective overall.
 

Valuable Features

DX NetOps offers superior network analysis, scalability, AI functionality, and ServiceNow integration, ensuring efficient monitoring across hybrid environments.
ScienceLogic provides scalable, customizable monitoring with advanced analytics and integration, enhancing service delivery through intuitive and flexible solutions.
The product features include automation through AI, allowing out-of-the-box analysis of performance data, building baseline trends, and enabling configuration of dynamic thresholds relative to collected data.
The best features I've seen so far with DX NetOps are that it can work with large scale systems, and it has a lot of functionalities and matrices.
Notably, its automation features, such as Runbook action, enable domain experts like me to execute one-click automation solutions, which contributes significantly to reducing MTTR.
It offers over 500 integrations with a wide range of device types, referred to as PowerPacks, which are prebuilt integrations for hundreds, if not thousands, of integration types.
The CMDB update and the automatic CMDB update are valuable.

Featured Reviews

Mark Tukh - PeerSpot reviewer
Leverages comprehensive network monitoring and AI-driven automation for enhanced performance analysis
There is a model for network traffic analysis in the NetOps product called NetOps Flow Analyzer. It provides all the necessary protocols and analysis. DX NetOps supports network monitoring across hybrid environments, though I hope it works out of the box. The product features include automation through AI, allowing out-of-the-box analysis of performance data, building baseline trends, and enabling configuration of dynamic thresholds relative to collected data.
Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
