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.

Integrating third-party tools for effective data management and reporting
There are challenges with the data collector options in Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics. When I upgrade, the data collector tends to stop working, requiring me to open a case with Veritas. It takes them a long time, usually over a month, to resolve the issue, which is a pain point. I believe improving this aspect would enhance the user experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support's been fantastic."
"The solution excels in three areas: application monitoring, server monitoring, and network performance monitoring."
"It has allowed us to grow, as we’re able to offer new services to our customers that they didn't have in the past, opening a whole new door of monitoring offerings to our customers and what we can provide for them on top of what we already are providing."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Web monitoring, service and processes monitoring have saved and prevented more than just one outage."
"The customer service at ScienceLogic is one of the best I've experienced over the last 13 years of my career."
"We chose the ScienceLogic platform because it really met and exceeded all of the requirements that we had put forth in the RFI."
"The most valuable aspects of Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics are its reporting capabilities and the ability to integrate with third-party tools, such as an ITSM system, for automated checks on live backup statuses."
"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"The valuable features include getting an overview of the backup status and gaining an understanding of my backup environment."
"My experience with the technical support by Veritas is pretty good."
"It's helpful because I can have full visibility of my IT environment."
"The scalability is great. It is one of the best advantages that I find important."
"Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics is technically much simpler than many backups, which provides a competitive advantage."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the insight it provides on the console."
 

Cons

"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"Usability is important. The interface is nice, but very complex and requires lots of learning involved in managing and navigating the product."
"I would like to see an expansion of the API."
"ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"Reporting needs to be improved. It was sold as a tool we could use for our clients and it was a complete failure."
"The overall product rating is six out of ten. It's suitable for specific customers, although slower in implementation and offering tougher ROI compared to some."
"The solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
"The process should be made easier."
"The documentation could be better; this should be improved."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment. Veritas Resiliency Platform is not very handy for cloud-to-cloud, cross-platform replication."
"The quality of technical support has decreased over time with slower response times compared to before."
"During the last issue that occurred due to the counter-strike, we needed recovery instantly for a large number of machines, more than a thousand machines, and Cohesity was the best solution for us."
"The process should be made easier. It is very complicated, and there is more with NetBackup; it is very difficult for me to oversee."
"The technical support from Veritas is disappointing as they take a long time, often over a month or two, to resolve issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"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."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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."
"The product has a fair price."
