What is ScienceLogic SL1?
The ScienceLogic SL1 platform aims to enable companies to digitally transform themselves by removing the difficulty of managing complex, distributed IT services. SL1 uses patented discovery techniques to find everything in a network, so users get visibility across all technologies and vendors running anywhere in data centers or clouds. The vendor states the advantage of SL1 is that it collects and analyzes millions of data points across an IT universe (made up of infrastructure, network, applications, and business services), to help users make sense of it all, share data, and automate IT processes.
With SL1, the user can:
- See everything across cloud and distributed architectures. Discover all IT components—–across physical, virtual, and cloud. Collect, merge, and store a variety of data in a clean, normalized data lake.
- Contextualize data through relationship mapping and machine learning (ML) for actionable insights. Use this context to understand the impact of infrastructure and applications on business service health and risk, accelerate root cause analysis, and execute recommended actions.
- Act on data that is shared across technologies and IT ecosystem in real time. Apply multi-directional integrations to automate workflows at cloud scale.

(1-25 of 207)Propel your digital transformation.
- 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.
SL1 in a Managed IT Services Environment
- 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.
SL1 is best for Network monitoring and event management
- monitoring
- ticketing
- Event notification
- more customized monitoring should be provided by SL1
Monitoring Suite that lags way behind for Modern Use Cases
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
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.

- Monitoring public cloud appliances
- Ease of integration with ServiceNow
- UI with artificial intelligence
- Reporting
One-Stop Solution - ScienceLogic SL1
- Agentless
- User-friendly
- Run book automations

- Not everything migrated to AP2 from classic portal
- Masking events related to time
- Internal events cannot be modified
SL1 has been stronger partner to work with
- Tool is very capable
- Good learning platform
- easy to monitoring
- Complex tool but manageable
SL Insight
- 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
ScienceLogic SL1 in my views
- 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
Insights of ScienceLogic monitoring 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.
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 : Journey from Better to Best
- 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.
ScienceLogic SL1 Top Notch Monitoring Platform
- 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

ScienceLogic SL1 Excels Beyond What You Think
- 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
In my opinion, it would be benefit from incorporating more network flow and application performance monitoring.
ScienceLogic: Journey of the Better to Best.
- 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.
ScienceLogic SL1 A Worthy Tool for MSPs
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.
