Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The power flow is great."
"Since it is a SaaS-based product, the setup is not very difficult."
"Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics is technically much simpler than many backups, which provides a competitive advantage."
"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."
"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 scalability is great. It is one of the best advantages that I find important."
"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the insight it provides on the console."
 

Cons

"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"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."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"The process should be made easier. It is very complicated, and there is more with NetBackup; it is very difficult for me to oversee."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment."
"The technical support from Veritas is disappointing as they take a long time, often over a month or two, to resolve issues."
"The solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
"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."
"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."
"The quality of technical support has decreased over time with slower response times compared to before."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"The product has a fair price."
