I use ScienceLogic SL1 at my job at Kyndryl to provide monitoring services of IT infrastructure for clients and customer support teams.
  • SL1 provides monitoring for various databases.
  • SL1 can monitor all popular operating systems.
  • SL1 uses monitoring agents and agentless monitoring.
  • SL1 requires a lot of CPU resources.
  • User Interface is not intuitive.
  • Documentation is poorly organized.
ScienceLogic SL1 is good for cloud monitoring - main vendors are supported, and a lot of modern hardware is supported. There is lack of support of old operating systems and the agents may consume a lot of local resources. The SL1 system scales well and has good manufacturer support and has good price.

We use SL1 predominantly for Event Monitoring and overall health in our different customer environments. One of the business problems that we addressed by using SL1's process monitoring on servers via a custom dashboard, was to identify which application was causing high CPU usage and related processes. We created a custom dashboard that combined all the pieces of the puzzle together in one window, and we could focus our attention on what needed to be done, instead of trying to log onto to each server and see what was causing the problems. Creating dashboards in SL1 is quite easy and when there are issues in any of our customer environments, a dashboard can easily be put together, that highlights certain areas of technology, and this enables us to
  • Event Monitoring
  • Dashboards and creating custom Dashboards
  • Device Discovery
  • 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
  • The reporting feauture is a very untouched area.
In most of the scenarios I was able to assist users to view info pertaining to there specific case study. In cases where I was unable to help users or customers, it was a lack on our side, and not a problem with the product as we have not implemented all the functionality as I would have liked. SL1 is not a capacity tool, but it can be used to feed information into systems like BMC Truesight to do capacity reporting on.

  • more customized monitoring should be provided by SL1
We are using SL1 in our Network monitoring, it is helping us in monitoring our servers and knowing the status when the server status when they are in critical state, we are using in the integration aswell with ticketing tool. If the company is both large and small, SL1 can be used for monitoring both cases. There are lot of monitoring available already, you can use it and even we can customize or create it based on the requirement. We have monitoring for different types of devices like windows, linux etc. We have default polices we can use to monitor, we have reports, we have integration with emails as well to use. We have powerflow aswell to use, where we can integrate it with third party tools. We have topology view to use. We have powerpacks to use for monitoring, they get updated regularly in the monitoring point of view. Event SL1 portal also gets updated with the upgrades that makes the UI more customer friendly. We have dynamic application monitoring as well, which helps to monitor the devices based on the scripting. The Dynamic applications are present for different types of device classes, they are both OOB and customizable for monitoring.

ScienceLogic SL1 is being used for management and administration of Customer's Infrastructure (Servers and Network Elements).

Apart from Monitoring the Customer Infrastructure, SL1 needs to be integrated to data lake to ensure efficient reporting and limited load to the Monitoring Module. SL1 PowerFlow was used for this integration.

In the existing engagement, expectation was to migrate from old monitoring suite to SL1.

  • Custom Integrations via SL1 PowerFlow
  • Ability to configure Run Book Automations
  • Customize the Dynamic Applications as per requirement
  • Buggy Software. A lot of features which must have worked out of the box were fixed during the course of implementation. This led to a lot of delays in delivery.
  • Limited documentation for Custom Development in SL1 PowerFlow and/or ScienceLogic SL1 Monitoring Suite.
  • Example: There are no best practice recommendations for:
  • Custom Monitoring expected out of Scripts hosted on Agent-Based Systems.
  • Custom Development which would be required for Integrations configuration via SL1 PowerFlow
  • Sluggish Support: After logging a Support Case, it takes too long for resolution / response. Really strange that there's limited tracking despite escalations.
  • Professional Services Subscription
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.

ScienceLogic SL1 is used to monitor the health of our devices. We primarily use events to monitor server resources, connectivity issues automation policy to meet our event conditions triggering an automatic action. If conditions are met an email is sent out and a ticket is raised and updated in our SNOW instance. The associated events also update our ticket status. Historically scripts were used to accomplish our monitoring needs. ScienceLogic SL1 has made our process more efficient with it automation.
  • Event Monitoring
  • Anomaly detection
  • Custom Reports
  • Ticketing

ScienceLogic SL1 is better suited for distributed servers. Where it is lacking is network integration when comparing it to SolarWinds.

Sciencelogic is used for monitoring servers, hardware, databases, storages, containers and operating systems in our enviroment. It is a all in one tool for us, however it does come with some limitations due to having a broad scope. Overall it has been a good experience using this product
  • automations
  • integrations
  • customizable applications
  • Documentation
  • lack of training
  • lack of essential monitoring out of the box
  • slow external support. sometimes takes weeks to get a resolution.
This tool is aptly designed for routine monitoring tasks in daily business operations. However, adapting it to meet the needs of a large organization with over 1000 employees involves an extensive commitment of time. Expect to spend several months developing custom code, tailoring dynamic applications, and setting up automations to ensure it aligns well with the organization's scale and requirements.

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. Not only this, the ease with which the SL1 UI Operates is just commendable and pretty fast with zero to no latency. Being a multi-cloud company, it's important that we serve our customers with fanatical support and SL1 helps us achieve that every day.
  • Monitoring servers
  • Monitoring public cloud appliances
  • Ease of integration with ServiceNow
  • UI with artificial intelligence
  • Reporting
SL1 is best suited for scenarios where we want detailed IT infrastructure monitoring. Scenarios where it is less appropriate would be for basic monitoring like URL, Ping, etc.

Monitoring the environment includes Servers, Networks, Cloud, Applications, Storage, Database, and Operating system. Business problems to replace multiple monitoring tools with one solution. Scope of the tool to replace existing monitoring solutions and handling integrations with other monitoring and health check systems. Integrate with the existing ticketing system, and automate actions for resolving the issues.
  • Agentless
  • User-friendly
  • Run book automations
  • Event policies
  • Not everything migrated to AP2 from classic portal
  • Masking events related to time
  • Internal events cannot be modified
A single tool that can be used to monitor, event management, and incident management. Agentless monitoring is an added advantage where most of the other monitoring tools in the market need agents to perform monitoring. Root cause analysis, automated run book automation, build own dynamic applications to customize any tools/application monitoring

ScienceLogic SL1 is a very good platform for learning. Complex tool with a lot of features, some left to be described. It seems like very capable tool, although it does have some shortfalls. of course many monitoring platforms have these, as its a difficult task to make a single product cover all bases.
  • Tool is very capable
  • Good learning platform
  • easy to monitoring
  • Complex tool but manageable
Science Logic is a next-level and all-in on one solution for monitoring IT assets. Its simplified UI components navigate the product in a very easy-to-use manner. Science Logic has been a strong partner to work with the product is very good and is very customizable I have not found a situation that SL1 will not perform.

  • Log file monitoring is very versatile, could be useful to monitor basically anything for that you do not have special PP.
  • Overall Cost-Effective solution, transparent GUI, dashboards
  • SL support - during P1 issues, like SL DB cluster issues, they are providing very handy help
  • selfmonitoring - need to add detection of monitoring has stopped
  • guides, manuals, knowledge base - very misleading, not detailed, does not cover many situations
  • SL Support on daily issues - from experience, often not much helpful, the support case you raise for them is often not followed, replies are seldom, they try only to close the case ASAP without any solution, without asking you if this solution is ok for you
Almost perfect for OS monitoring. For some application you can use log file monitoring. It could have problems with specific technologies like cluster monitoring

We are managing ScienceLogic SL1 as a monitoring tool and Netcool.
  • It can monitor any Network devices, Operating system, processes, hardware and many more.
  • some more flexibility should be there like , it should provide functionality to get tcpdump if user is facing network disconnect between infra servers to devices
Monitoring system like ScienceLogic SL1 is really fulfilling the monitoring requirements for all types of Network . Doing great job with huge flexibility and functionality. I would recommend to my friend who are in monitoring field to learn this as This tool has bright future. ScienceLogic SL1 as a monitoring tool is the best for any type of monitoring requirements.

We do monitor the IT infrastructure resources (Server, Network devices, end points etc.) of different organizations using this monitoring tool. We used it for monitor different performance and configuration details of through this tool.
  • Monitor performance of the system resources.
  • Integration with different ticketing tools.
  • Can create business dashboards
  • They should have Powerpack for all different technolgies.
  • The support system should be more robust.
  • If there is any issue with powerpack they should release new version of Powerpack ASAP.
To monitor Small, medium and large IT infrastructure ScienceLogic is well suited.
If in your environment certain technologies are there where no Powerpack is available, then it'll be less appropriate to use ScienceLogic as to develop such Powerpack might take some time.

Science logic helps our company to provide services to the customers in more easier and relevant ways. We can easily monitor any sort of devices on it in a very unique way. The design scope of a use case can be the enterprise, a specific system or a subsystem. Use cases that are used to describe the business process are typically of scope “enterprise”.
  • It better monitors every single and smallest things for the devices like CPU utilization, Thresholds, Memories etc.
  • Auto-ticketing for the alerts is the best part of it.
  • It helps to build relationship between one parent and many child devices.
  • It should only alert for the device/server which is down, not for all the other devices attached to the same affected devices.
  • Tabs should be in more organized manner instead.
  • Nothing more.
I would have experienced a lot many scenarios and found using Science logic, It makes our life easier to understand everything for the devices that are getting monitored there. we integrated ScienceLogic SL1 to streamline our IT operations. We used its unified monitoring for a clear view of our hybrid IT environment, automating asset discovery which saved significant manual effort. The platform's AI-driven analytics improved our incident response, dependency mapping aided in informed decision-making during migrations, and its capacity planning tools optimized our resource utilization. Overall, SL1 transformed our IT processes, making them more proactive and efficient.

ScienceLogic SL1 is used as our Primary Monitoring Platform, this system replaced out dating Nimsoft platform. the system is very flexible and can be tweaked to our needs / customer requestes for the most part.
  • Grouping of Devices for central management
  • communicates with Service Now very well
  • Easily search customers or devices
  • Dashboards could do with being more "out of the box" friendly
  • I constantly switch bewteen the new AP2 and classic view for different functions
  • different user privileges could do with being more generic or simpler
The fact you are able to spin up some "data collectors" on the VDC / customer environment is great - this means you do not need to logon and install an agent on all the machines

The SL1 appliance is quite comparable to SCOM and other monitoring tools when you get down to the basics of it, what it does better than the others however is that it is much easier to use , visually better and has other tools and capabilities that the others don't. We're using SL1 to monitor almost all of our customer's infrastructure and are currently proceeding with a project to make it 100%. SL1 integrates straight into our Service desk platform so that everything is logged and appropriately assigned to the right teams with the right priorities per our defined rules.
  • Can be used to monitor any customer, anywhere
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to customize with the powerpacks available and can even configure your own
  • More out of the box integrations into popular security tools / Service Desk tools
ScienceLogic, especially in a SaaS like we're using is well suited for almost all scenarios. For the most part you need to have a collector on each customer site but this is not always required and you can bypass this by having VPN's established with customers. SL1 especially exceeds with plugging in straight to Azure and monitoring Azure environments exceptionally well

ScienceLogic SL1 is used to fulfill many requirements. A list of them would be as follows:
  • Enterprise visibility
  • Monitoring
  • Integrations
  • AIOps
  • Reporting
  • Automation
  • RCA

Scope is 360 degrees of visibility across the enterprise.
  • Monitoring of Devices
  • Integrations to 3rd party software
  • Automations
  • Reporting is robust but not user friendly unless proper training
  • Lacks Network Flow Analytics out of the box
I think ScienceLogic SL1 is well suited for monitoring on-premise, cloud and IoT devices. It provides robust reporting, integration, visualization and automation.

In my opinion, it would be benefit from incorporating more network flow and application performance monitoring.

I use ScienceLogic for monitoring purposes. As a monitoring tool, it is good, but after the recent update of SL, it has some issues as power flow takes time to sync with ServiceNow, and in Prod, it takes time to sync the Alerts, which causes multiple duplicate alerts.
  • Monitoring of Devices.
  • Log collection.
  • Clear Dashboard View.
  • To find options on getting model ID and Serial number while using SNMP for Windows or Linux devices.
  • To store more amount of data on a device basis.
  • SL can optimize the sigterm issue by itself or can find out the exact reason on the collectors.
As an Admin I understood that SL is overall a good monitoring tool but if we compare it with Splunk or Solarwinds, It can still make changes or add more features internally in the tool itself.

ScienceLogic SL1 is used within our organization as a tool for Infrastructure monitoring.

As an MSP we required to upgrade our tooling to allow us to properly enable monitoring of a customers infrastructure and alert at the correct levels from a device to a business service impact. Without ScienceLogic SL1 we were only ever able to monitor at a device by device basis and not see the entire overall impact a device outage could have on a business service and the business as a whole. We are also extending the usage of this to start automation of some of the more basic events and alerts so that we can attempt auto remediation & resolution on simple recurring issues. ScienceLogic SL1 has also given us the ability to properly look at root causes as we have more data from the various sources and can look at the events that occurred for those high priority issues in greater depth.
  • Automations
  • Discovery
  • Deep Monitoring of different OS/Network Devices
  • Some of the User interface still requires work
  • Monitoring of non common hardware
I think ScienceLogic SL1 is very good at being able to properly paint a business service overlay picture which gives greater depth of root cause and impact on what an outage will cause to the company.

We had to create test environment to see all possibilities and functionality of ScienceLogic SL1 monitoring as we have plan to migrate it from current ITM/Netcool monitoring. What is surprising is fact that ScienceLogic SL1 giving so many ways to monitor different things like Storage, DB, Cloud, OS systems itself etc. Moreover ScienceLogic SL1 is so user friendly and it's really easy to navigate between functions.It seems to be very powerful software. I would recommend ScienceLogic SL1 to all of them who are looking for really useful monitoring tool and expecting easy way of managing it.
