Comprehensive monitoring streamlines operations with room for user support enhancement
I am interested in improving the flexibility of ScienceLogic's user interface, configuration, and customization. I am particularly keen on learning about issues raised by the ScienceLogic support team. Whenever we encounter difficulties, I raise vendor cases and am eager to deepen my understanding of those cases. Additionally, I want to learn more about ScienceLogic's dashboards, which display crucial metrics about collectors, their health, and devices aligned to them. The dashboard should be more detailed. Regarding improvements to ScienceLogic's technical support, my last company was IBM in India, and I worked on IBM MQ monitoring until my last day. I engaged with the LogicMonitor support team for MQ-level incidents, but these issues remained unresolved even after 10 to 15 days. On my last working day, I assisted with one such vendor case, and I am unsure if that issue was ever resolved. ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time. During my time working on MQ-level cases, including a power pack upgrade that did not fix the issues faced, I provided all necessary steps with the help of the middleware team. However, there were still gaps that needed addressing.

Comprehensive visibility satisfies needs but instant recovery is essential
I would recommend that they implement instant mass recovery because in Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics, it takes a very long time. 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. Management gained more confidence that in the future, we will go with Cohesity instead of Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics. I would still recommend Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics to others. They should implement new features which other competitors are offering to customers.

"Customer Service is fantastic."
"Improved network infrastructure monitoring which reduces any unplanned outages."

"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."
"Their customer service is unparalleled."
"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 most valuable feature of the product is the insight it provides on the console."
"The valuable features include getting an overview of the backup status and gaining an understanding of my backup environment."

"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"My experience with the technical support by Veritas is pretty good."

Cons

"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"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 solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
"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 technical support from Veritas is disappointing as they take a long time, often over a month or two, to resolve issues."
"The process should be made easier."
"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."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment."
"The quality of technical support has decreased over time with slower response times compared to before."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."

"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
