I have checked the feasibility of these tools, and except for CA UIM, other tools are not even close to ScienceLogic SL1. ScienceLogic SL1, in this respect, is far more advanced. ScienceLogic SL1 is smooth, easy to use, easy to make anyone understand, and make ready to work. …
We used BMC as our monitoring tool, and BMC True Sight for Capacity Management. SL1 is great in Event monitoring, but it lacks the Capacity Management features as it is not a Capacity Management Tool. It would be great if we can use it as a Capacity Management Tool with all the …
I was not part of the team selecting ScienceLogic SL1. Our goal was to increase event visibility in our server environment. We were using scripting which created many false events. SolarWinds is primarily used in the Network space to monitor network gear.
Agentless product that can integrate easily with other product and also allow us to automate tasks, example closing tickets when events are cleared automatically which user interactions.
Agentless, easy, and powerful. Easy to deploy, maintain and manage. The one-stop solution replaces multiple monitoring tools, has an inbuilt ticketing system, and can be integrated with any tools. Easy to deploy any application monitoring via REST API calls. Dynamic …
Science logic SL1 is so user friendly and it's really easy to navigate between function. I would recommend Sciene logic SL1 to all of them who are looking for really useful monitoring tool and expecting easy way of managing it.
SCOM is on far more better overall level than SL. it covers most of stacks without any problems SCOM only weakness is Network monitoring, but other techn it covers perfectly
ScienceLogic SL1 has great UI to configure any monitoring after setup, also has agent-less monitoring that's the great feature against mandate agent monitoring tool like ITM and Zabbix. ScienceLogic SL1 UI has great flexibility to configure any monitoring and modification as …
From a monitoring perspective, in my opinion, ScienceLogic SL1 meets if not exceeds in all areas. The two caveats are APM and Network Flow Analytics (NFA) where ScienceLogic SL1 does not have a native capability but does integrate well with the leading APM and NFA providers.
ScienceLogic SL1 has a greater understanding and maturity on what Infrastructure monitoring needs to be and has to include at a decent price point for what it offers compared to its competitors.
ScienceLogic SL1 comparing with ITM/Netcool monitoring has better price. It's more easy to implement and mange ScienceLogic SL1 then other monitoring tools.
We continually evaluate similar products and have not, to date, found anything that competes favorably, particularly ito IT/Business services, Automation and scalability.
Appropriate if you are setting up a monitoring suite in new Infrastructure Environment. Definitely NOT suited for Migration Projects. ScienceLogic SL1 cannot cater to a lot of monitoring requirements which already would have been configured in old monitoring suite. Plus, limited support for customizations and having to go to "Feature Requests" route makes in extremely complicated.
More freedom to create custom dashboards as on the previous versions we could do much more
The Performance TAB windows is too small and cannot be resized or maximized when looking at reports for "Overview", "File System" and any of those items.
There are not enough widgets to create stunning dashboard in AP2
We migrated away from our 20-year-old homegrown solution and have no back-tracking capability. ScienceLogic is demonstrating new capabilities that we would not have been able to do on our own using our legacy system. We understand the capabilities of competitors based on our bake-off selection where ScienceLogic won on capabilities and future near-term potential (expandability, platform growth). We know that those competitors are not really close to where we have been able to push ScienceLogic (as a partner).
We use ScienceLogic SL1 in our organization to serve effective monitoring solutions to our external customers. Our customers depend upon us for critical events/alerts related to their IT infrastructure gears and using SL1, we're able to provide them with a proactive monitoring solution that resolves an issue before an impact is noticed by the customer. There are very few monitoring solutions that can cater to a variety of Cloud platforms like Public Cloud (AWS, Azure) and private cloud simultaneously and SL1 addresses this business problem very well
Science Logic SL1 provides the option of Distributed deployment where multiple instances of each appliance can be deployed to manage the load and availability. SL1 provides a High Availability feature for Database Servers and Data Collection. If one of the Data Collectors in the collector group fails, it will automatically redistribute the devices from the failed Data Collector among the other Data Collectors in the Collector Group. The high availability feature for the Database server ensures that SL1 performs failover automatically to another server without causing the outage to the application.
The performance is entirely dependent on the complexity of the environment/network being used to host the platform. Outside of those factors, the platform runs very efficiently and quickly out of the box. We have integrations with other platforms and neither seem to take a hit from our moderate API usage. Any issues with performance would be experienced by choices made in infrastructure or complexity of things built by the customer to display in the GUI (overly complicated and cluttered dashboards for example)
So far, it's good as part of my overall experience, except for a couple of use cases. The support team is well knowledgeable, has technical sound, and is efficient. When support escalates to engineering, the issue gets stuck and takes months to resolve.
When I joined our company, I did not know about the in person training at firts. Logging onto the SL University, I realised that there were different sessions being held at different times throughout the year. The training itself was good, but being in a different time zone, made it difficult to attend, but the sessions that I attended was great!
There are a lot of educational materials and courses on the SL1 training site (Litmos university). However the recording quality is sometimes not very good - screen resolution is low. There is a lack of professional rather than user-oriented documents and there are mistakes in documentation and education is not well structured.
Love to use Science logic tool as our first monitoring tool to provide services to the customer. Auto restart feature in Sl1 will allow us to get event when those crucial services has not started after server reboots and also minimize the P1's that we have as a result of that.
Science logic SL1 is so user friendly and it's really easy to navigate between function. I would recommend Sciene logic SL1 to all of them who are looking for really useful monitoring tool and expecting easy way of managing it.
Our deployment model is vastly different from product expectations. Our global / internal monitoring foot print is 8 production stacks in dual data centers with 50% collection capacity allocated to each data center with minimal numbers of collection groups. General Collection is our default collection group. Special Collection is for monitoring our ASA and other hardware that cannot be polled by a large number of IP addresses, so this collection group is usually 2 collectors). Because most of our stacks are in different physical data centers, we cannot use the provided HA solution. We have to use the DR solution (DRBD + CNAMEs). We routinely test power in our data centers (yearly). Because we have to use DR, we have a hand-touch to flip nodes and change the DNS CNAME half of the times when there is an outage (by design). When the outage is planned, we do this ahead of the outage so that we don't care that the Secondary has dropped away from the Primary. Hopefully, we'll be able to find a way to meet our constraints and improve our resiliency and reduce our hand-touch in future releases. For now, this works for us and our complexity. (I hear that the HA option is sweet. I just can't consume that.)
Once a powerpack is developed and configured for a device for one customer, it is easy to deploy the same powerpack on a second customer estate and configure specifically for that customer without having to reinvent the powerpack. This saves time and therefore money.
Once the customer estate tuning is complete, the Operations team have come trust the alerts. This is especially true when transient or self-correcting alerts are automatically cleared without ops team involvement, but a record is still available for audit and debugging purposes. This saves time and therefore money.
When setup correctly, it provides good visibility into applications, devices and whole customer estates. This saves time and therefore money when issues arise.
