Dynamic discovery and effective network topology make IT monitoring valuable
The solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine. It covers the entire span of the infrastructure, including servers and network operations. It also adapts well to different environments, showing network topology effectively, making the network monitoring tool quite valuable.

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 solution enables dynamic discovery and incorporates a powerful configuration management database, CMDB, along with a strong correlation engine."
"We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards."
"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."
"The customer service and support has been the best of any vendor I have had experience dealing with in my professional history."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."
"ScienceLogic was good at proactively identifying problems and could turn a 45-minute outage into a 20-minute outage or even catch early warning signs and solve issues in advance."
"It has given us comprehensive monitoring across all platforms."
"The support's been fantastic."
"This is the best tool ever which allowed us to consolidate from various monitoring solutions such as HPOV, CA and SCOM."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"We lacked the power or features that the EM7 dashboards provide, and have won more than one account based on that alone."
 

Cons

"It may need a more customizable UI."
"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure. Micro Focus might have different cloud solutions for cloud automation and hybrid cloud management. There are a lot of products that also support automation. That is different, but it should monitor the cloud from an IT operations management perspective."
"Micro Focus Network Management doesn't support end-to-end monitoring of cloud infrastructure."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
"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)."
"I believe the knowledge base leaves a little room for improvement."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"Simplified Interface - ScienceLogic can be a bit overwhelming when you begin working with it."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Micro Focus' price is on the higher side, but there are other products like CA products and IBM that are more expensive. At the same time, you have to compare the maturity level of the solutions."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"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."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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 pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
