ScienceLogic Reviews

We are using ScienceLogic for monitoring and orchestrating the remediation.

ScienceLogic has helped our company by monitoring. We have old tools we use and the functionality has been good.

The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning.

ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier.

I have been using ScienceLogic for approximately three years. 

ScienceLogic is stable, it performs well.

The scalability of ScienceLogic could improve, it should be easier. The cloud versions could be easier but the on-premise version is not simple.

Administrators only use the solution directly whereas we have approximately 20,000 endpoints using it. Depending on the company's growth will decide if we will increase usage of the solution.

The support we received from ScienceLogic was good.

We are using HPE solutions in parallel to ScienceLogic.

Implementing ScienceLogic as a monitoring tool was quick. It took us approximately six to nine months, plus another 20 months to link it to our automation framework.

We did the deployment with the ScienceLogic team's help.

We have received an ROI from the use of ScienceLogic. We are getting better visibility and help on the platform.

The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have.

I rate the price of ScienceLogic a three out of five.

When we evaluated solutions ScienceLogic was positioned first because it fits our use case and the potential of the new feature. We are looking to use AI and machine learning.

We have five to six people that are used for the maintenance of the solution.

My advice to others is they need to map their requirement with the tool to see if it meets their needs. They might be able to find a less expensive tool that can meet all of their needs. The tool has a lot of capabilities but it is important to size it effectively.

I rate ScienceLogic a seven out of ten.

I use the solution in my company mainly for infrastructure monitoring.

The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an agentless tool, and users have ScienceLogic PowerPacks available for most of the technologies. The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support.

The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required. The tool is more or less good. The tool needs to improve its APM capabilities.

I have been using ScienceLogic for three years.

The response or turnaround time from the support team is quick. If my company contacts the support team, they set up a Webex session or Microsoft Team meeting at our convenient time to provide help. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

Positive

My company needs additional reporting tools like IBM Cognos or Tableau. My company uses additional reporting tools to extract data and then design the reports per the customers' requirements. If users of ScienceLogic get features similar to those offered by other reporting tools, it would be great.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in a day.

My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price.

The solution is useful for monitoring hybrid environments, clouds, and traditional data centers.

From a cloud perspective, we use the tool's very basic features as per our company's requirements. In our company, the tool helps us with the KPIs we plan to achieve.

Right now, my company usually goes for about five minutes porting into it, so we use it as a tool that provides us something near real-time monitoring.

My company doesn't use ScienceLogic's features, though it has good automation features. Our company uses Ansible for all automation, and we have integrated ScienceLogic with Ansible.

ScienceLogic sends events to IBM Netcool, where events are handled through event automation.

In terms of the reporting and analytics part, whatever out-of-the-box or default reports are available can be useful to some extent. There are times when there is a requirement for some additional customizations to serve our company's purposes in the area of reporting.

The tool improves our company's response time to incidents.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.

From the monitoring perspective, the tool fulfills my requirements.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

It's an IT infrastructure monitoring tool. It's mostly used by the IT team. It monitors the environment like the server database and cloud environment. 

ScienceLogic is a good tool. It has good capabilities as an SaaS product. 

It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments. 

It covers lots of technologies from a monitoring perspective and with its AIOps and event management there. It has good capabilities around that. 

I like the APM, the topology mapping they have, and the business service mapping that they can pick up and then feed into any CMTP like in the ICMTP. It has a good feature in that area. It's a good tool from a utilization perspective for monitoring the environment.

The scalability is excellent.

From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot. Even though it says that it's enterprise level, we have seen lots of issues from a monitoring perspective. When we monitor a huge volume there are problems. We need more customizations on the templates. They're not that useful. To customize it, you have got to go through a lot of effort. 

The professional support that ScienceLogic provides most of the time does not have that skill set to help.

The stability could be better.

I've been using the solution for five years.

We have had issues with stability. When it is in a huge environment, we did have seen some issues around the stability in that area when using it for monitoring large environments.

The product has outstanding scalability. We did not see many issues around that so far.

Support is lacking. They are not very knowledgeable sometimes. 

Neutral

It is easy to set up. It is a SaaS product and has agentless monitoring. From a setup perspective, it is easy.

The deployment depends. It can be set up in two weeks or six weeks. However, normally, we're seeing the deployment done in two to three weeks. It's a quick deployment that is happening. It all depends upon the environment and the requirements that need to be there. Generally, it's a quick deployment.

We have seen an ROI.

The monitoring tool does not give a return on investment in the first year. Normally, it happens in the second or third year. In the first year, it is more about improving the capability of their environment, and managing the environment. From the second year, they resolve incidents or improve visibility. So from the second year onwards, ROI may not be that high, however, we have seen that customers are getting that benefits.

They are subscription based. From the pricing model perspective, it's very simple, and licensing is not very complex. It's based on the number of network devices. They have some calculations which are very straightforward and very easy to use. There are no hidden charges.

We are a partner and reseller.

The product has multiple deployment options. They do offer us a SaaS product. Therefore, it's available in the public cloud. Users have the option to deploy on-premises. It can be deployed in a private cloud or according to the customer's requirements. It has the flexibility to do that.

I'd rate it a seven out of ten. 

It's a good tool for monitoring hybrid environments. I would recommend it to others from a hybrid monitoring perspective and from a server database perspective. However, it does not have good capabilities for monitoring networks. It should not be used as a network monitoring solution. It needs to be more focused on infrastructure.

I work for three companies where the usage is different. Earlier, the main usage is to monitor customer service. Later on, it was a tool used for a combination of both Splunk and ScienceLogic. Now it is different, and now we are using it to look for limited server monitoring. It's different in all the different ways I have been worked with the tool. However, basically, it's for monitoring for the most part.

The monitoring is very good.

It is simple. We can see whatever is going on. Easily, we can discover everything. We can monitor our virtuality. Mainly the monitoring is simple on the server, and we can easily correct things if there is any problem on the server.

The back end is all right. However, when we are in the documentation area, we don't get any details. 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. 

Maybe they should do more Power Packs. We do take requirements from the customer. If they want to add to Power Packs, we need to write our own custom scripts. It might be helpful to already have it included. 

I've been using the solution for around four years.

In terms of stability, whenever we have a huge device that's mounting, if one of the devices gets a lot of events it can go down. We need to be careful. We need to add a device monthly to ensure the solution doesn't get flooded. 

The scalability is good in that you can always add more users. There's no limit to the number of users. I'm not sure the exact amount of people that are using it right now as everyone has access to a lot of tools. IN my team, however, only three people use it currently. 

I've been in touch with the technical team. In the beginning, we dealt with them a lot more as we didn't have any real knowledge of the solution. As we picked up processes we've used them a bit less. However, they were always helpful.

Neutral

We did previously use NETSCOUT. We didn't have the equipment, however. It came from the client. 

There are two types of architecture. One is an all-in-one, and the other one is like a distributor. We went for the all-in-one option. It's very easy to set up. The distributor is a bit more complex. However, items like message collected, data collected and admin portal and database are like deploying one component at a time. Once we deployed them, we needed to connect to them. We needed support during that period. We needed a team. 

The deployment is quick. We could do it over a few hours on a Sunday.

While you do have to pay for licensing, I can't speak to the exact cost.

We're a customer.

I'd recommend the solution to others.

There are many marketing tools in the market. I have less experience with those. I do, however, have experience with ScienceLogic. It has a good design. You might need someone from support to do the installation. However, apart from the installation, you can understand everything very easily. It has a lot of integration capabilities as well. We can integrate with a lot of things. We can monitor emails. We can monitor APL. We can handle customization and automation and there is a great dashboard. They have lot of features to take advantage of. That's why people should go and use the tool.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Our primary use case of ScienceLogic is as a monitoring tool. We wanted something adaptable that could monitor numerous environments and specific monitoring based on the vendor. We're a supporting organization with 170 data centers around the world. I'm a technical lead and we are customers of ScienceLogic. 

The most valuable feature is an OS that enables the deployment of a virtual machine. The product provides agentless monitoring which is based on SNMP so there's no need to install the monitoring agent on each and every server. Other credentials and monitoring are also included. We get great reports and integration is also excellent. This is a simple, easy-to-use tool. 

We often face bugs when there's a new release. 

I used this solution for six years. 

This is a stable solution and there are rarely any issues.

Scalability is good, we can increase the number of users we want. 

We have premium support so the customer service is generally good. They sometimes choose to lower the urgency of our request and then it can take a few days to get a response which can be an issue for our customers. 

Positive

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. Deployment time depends on the infrastructure. If you have less than 1000 servers, then the setup doesn't take long and can be completed within a few weeks. A larger deployment will take longer. 

The solution is an OS so a license is mandatory.

This is a pretty user-friendly tool. Much has improved in the newer version from a monitoring perspective. Everything will be in the UA so nothing is required at the back end. 

I rate this solution nine out of 10 because of its simplicity. 

We use the product to monitor our servers, network switches, and other devices. We can check if there are any issues with the patching.

ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard. Additionally, there are role-based access features for admins.

Admins do not have direct access to the reporting. It goes first to the AIOps team, who have access to reports. They forward based on what is required and requested through us. We have to follow up protocols to get through that. It needs improvement. 

I have been using ScienceLogic as a customer for the last nine months. We are using the latest version.

Initially, we encountered customization-related issues. I rate the product’s stability a six out of ten.

Adding resources is easy and accessible in ScienceLogic. You can customize and monitor and can have automated management. You can write automation scripts with the right level of access and send alerts and notifications. It is a built-in feature, but only some have access to it.

In my team, we have 25 ScienceLogic admins. In the AIOps team, we have another 50 users. Its scalability is a seven or eight out of ten.

Our AIOps team manages the application and does the customizations for each team. They initiate contact with the technical support team.

The setup is straightforward. It is easy to manage and check for alerts. The classification of alerts is specific. It makes it easier for admins to manage alerts. We can quickly identify what is critical and a warning-level alert. We move the managed servers across the network while migrating the clients' data from other products to ScienceLogic.

ScienceLogic is a great tool for system administrators. It is convenient and feature-rich, with a lot of customization options available. The dashboards and support information are very specific and detailed; you can customize it for convenience. The pre-built information is also very useful and granular, making it easy to identify problems. The alert levels are well-defined and can be customized for each customer. ScienceLogic is also very intuitive and can automatically pick up signals and categorize alerts.

ScienceLogic's alert system is already top-notch, but you can also customize it further to meet the needs of each customer specifically. For example, you can set different alert levels for different SLAs. You can also customize the alert notifications to be sent to the appropriate people. This way, you can ensure all alerts are handled quickly and efficiently. We can also customize the alert levels depending on the nature of the issue. The alert system is designed well and provides very specific load ratings. However, we can customize the alerts per our customer's SL agreements.

Overall, I rate ScienceLogic an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for monitoring networks, applications, and server environments.

ScienceLogic has all functions in one solution.

The user interface could be improved. The sizing and footprints of the central environment need improvement, too. 

The solution lacks functionality. The main issue is the granularity of user management.

I have been using ScienceLogic for three months.

The product is stable.

The footprint and complexity of ScienceLogic can require significant memory, CPU, and disk space. This can lead to overloaded servers and components, resulting in a sluggish user interface.

A total of 400 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a six out of ten.

We had very limited contact with customer support.

I can compare it with Broadcom. ScienceLogic is cheaper with less functionality.

The initial setup is very complex.

ScienceLogic comes with a good price.

I rate the product’s pricing a ten out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

ScienceLogic can be deployed on-premise and on the cloud. It is up to our clients what cloud provider they want to use. They can choose from many of the cloud vendors, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud. Most of our offerings are still using the IBM cloud.

We are only using ScienceLogic for infrastructure. It can be for a small account, it could be a large account. Most of our large accounts are Fortune 500 companies. We have some of the large accounts around the globe, which are using ScienceLogic to manage their business.

I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity.

I have been using ScienceLogic for approximately eight years.

The stability of ScienceLogic is great.

I have no problem scaling ScienceLogic.

The support that ScienceLogic offers is very good and responsive.

The initial implementation of ScienceLogic is straightforward because often we use our cloud services and the only thing we need to do is add collectors on the client's environment and then connect into the cloud offering. The installation of the collectors and making them connected to the network into the servers that we have on top of the cloud is not complex.

The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve.

We decided to use ScienceLogic instead of IBM tool monitoring which we evaluated.

The benefit for ScienceLogic is they are agentless. This is one of the most benefits of using ScienceLogic. You often don't need to install any agents. When we used other solutions the agents caused us some delays in progress.

I rate ScienceLogic a nine out of ten.
