Senior Systems Administrator, Technical Lead at Connectivity Wireless
A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The setup is very intuitive and quick - it all just took a few minutes we were done."
"The many features offered for one price, including discovery, asset management, alerting, and ticketing, with simplified ease of integration across all features."
"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."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"It has given us comprehensive monitoring across all platforms."
"The whole platform overall is very powerful."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"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."
 

Cons

"Our network is made up of a lot of Cisco devices, and it needs improvements."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"The product is a bit expensive, but impressive capability and expandability comes at a price."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"Reporting needs to be improved. It was sold as a tool we could use for our clients and it was a complete failure."
"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 is still a gigantic pain point, we invest a lot of cycles in manufacturing reports off-board -#notfun."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"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."
"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."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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 solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
