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."
"When it comes to customization, Micro Focus is more mature than its competitors."
"We can detect non-compliant devices and automate remediation actions to cover the gap in the configuration standards."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"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 power flow is great."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"ScienceLogic is an excellent all around suite of tools."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
 

Cons

"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."
"It may need a more customizable UI."
"The user interface is outdated and needs improvement, especially for service and topology maps."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"Usability is important. The interface is nice, but very complex and requires lots of learning involved in managing and navigating the product."
"Simplified Interface - ScienceLogic can be a bit overwhelming when you begin working with it."
"ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"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."
"We often face bugs when there's a new release."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"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."
