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

SL1 has been stronger partner to work with
- Tool is very capable
- Good learning platform
- easy to monitoring
- Complex tool but manageable
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.
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

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.
- Automations
- Discovery
- Deep Monitoring of different OS/Network Devices
- Some of the User interface still requires work
- Monitoring of non common hardware
ScienceLogic SL1 as a user friendly sofware.
- Switches monitoring
- DB monitoring
- SNMP monitoring
- General documentation for implementation and configuration
User friendly Monitoring Tool
- All types of Infra can monitor
- Severity of Events
- Maintenance mode of a device
- notification need to be there before clicking on upgrade button
- Notification need to be there before reboot collector
- Delaying to present the current uptime when rebooted a collector
ScienceLogic SL1 - an attempt was made
- It is effective for monitoring common devices
- The ap2 interface is generally pleasant to use
- PowerFlow
- Support - time to resolution
- Support - fast access to engineering
- Cohesive UI/UX - why does the classic UI still exist?
- Bug finding - we feel like glorified beta testers (see comments about support)
- UX - if you have to explain how things work, you've failed. e.g. there are pages where three buttons all have the same text and all do different things!
- utilisation of AI across the board.
ScienceLogic SL1 Journey from Implementation to Impact
- Root cause analysis: By analyzing the logs ScienceLogic SL1 will find out the root cause accurately
- ScienceLogic SL1 employs proactive monitoring techniques to identify potential issues before they cause significant disruptions.
- IT team can Customize Dashboards and Reports based on the requirement
- Documentation should be expanded
- If video related training is added it is great.
My ScienceLogic Review
- It monitors our devices and reports on the detections we have created.
- monitors web endpoints
- can handle bespoke complex monitors
- discovery of devices automatically
- Most of the things I can think of have now been addressed in this new release.
- Documentation could be less ambiguous sometimes
- More active to detecting system alerts and having them sorted before we have need to inform them SAAS
Reviewing Pros and Cons of ScienceLogic SL1.
- Integrations with ServiceNow for CMDB population and alert escalation.
- Customizable collections of performance and capacity metrics.
- The ability to customize event policies for alerts.
- Native multi-tenant features and functionality in the platform.
- The legacy EM7 interface can be overwhelming with configuration options.
- RBAC roles and policies can be difficult to manage for larger organizations.
- PowerPacks are required for nearly every vendor's platform, which requires software development resources in-house, or having to work with ScienceLogic to request and prioritize support for new vendors.
- Auto-Discovery feature is very good which helps us in building relationships between hyper-v and VMware host and guest devices. Also, it helps in building the relationship with MSSQL Databases.
- Ability to perform bulk discovery and update in ScienceLogic.
- Flexibility to clone the Dynamic Applications and do custom modifications.
- Flexibility to create custom RBA's and do several automations.
- Also ScienceLogic has come up with several new power packs for integrating with third party tool like ELK, Kubernetes etc which are readily available for use
- OOB Reports (Availability and Capacity) are not very user-friendly and also do not fetch correct data most of the time or even show blank reports a lot of time. A very limited number of reports and that too very basic and do not comply with industry best practices (like Availability reports do not have a business and not business hour feature and even does not exclude the outages during scheduled maintenance)
- Dashboards do not have a lot of widgets and are hence are not able to create complex dashboards. There should be the flexibility of adding an additional column on dashboards through Custom attributes.
- Not possible to put only a few metrics (like DB services) in maintenance for a certain period. The entire server has to be put in maintenance mode and then even OS alerts get suppressed.
- The audit logs page does not get loaded and gives "504 Gateway Time-out" most of the time
- Every small customization is treated as PS work and PS is very costly.
- The SL1 support team does not support and even does provide suggestions on issues on customized DA even if the issue is because of the built-in ScienceLogic functions. There are a lot of internal Dynamic Apps (Like for filesystem, services, processes, availability, etc) where there is no visibility on the logic of how alerts are configured.
ScienceLogic SL1: how it helped the business grow
- Network device monitoring
- Reports
- Availability
- DRBD
- Reporting
- Integration with SNOW should be simpler
- Inbuilt flood control
The scenario where I find less appropriate is customising the reports. This should be made easier, like drag and drop of tables to create a custom report.
