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.

We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ScienceLogic's custom enablement, which I can achieve as a Python developer, is unique."
"The stability of ScienceLogic is great."
"We lacked the power or features that the EM7 dashboards provide, and have won more than one account based on that alone."
"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."
"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."
"Web monitoring, service and processes monitoring have saved and prevented more than just one outage."
"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."
"This solution is used by our network operations center to identify down interfaces and predict the capacity on WAN circuits, as well as other circuits, to help us plan for upgrading."
"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"The Statseeker polling engine is very efficient and it does not miss any outage."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"Support is fantastic and Statseeker are always looking to improve."
"We haven't encountered any issues with stability."
"It is fairly simple and easy to use as an all-purpose network monitor."
 

Cons

"If I were a small to medium business, I probably wouldn't choose this provider. It is a heavily configurable, heavyweight, and scalable IT solution for IT infrastructure monitoring."
"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."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"I see room to do better in the network and SNMP trap processing."
"Reporting needs to be improved. It was sold as a tool we could use for our clients and it was a complete failure."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
"We haven't seen an ROI."
"There is no high availability over multiple locations (datacenters) and if you want to maintain what is monitored, I suggest you use the host file."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"We would like to see improvements in reporting and multiple-user integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"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."
"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 license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"Up until we actually talked to Statseeker, and Statseeker came and gave us an enterprise licensing model for multiple accounts, I would have said the pricing was not good value. The fact they've come to the party now and given us a very good discount, I would say it's probably about right, the pricing they're giving us now. But the retail pricing, if I went out and, as a separate company, and asked for pricing for one account, I probably would say their retail pricing is not competitive. The fact that they've given us a discount now because we have multiple servers across multiple accounts, I would say that pricing is about right, but not their retail pricing. It's too expensive."
"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"It's probably $5K a year for the license."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
