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.

If you want to be alerted...
I liked the ease of use and the fact that I had less clicking to do in Statseeker. I believe ScienceLogic SL1 allows for more customization.

Better monitoring with in Budget

ScienceLogic - Thumbs Up
ScienceLogic is up on the front edge of today's technology. It has good customer support and good products. We heard ScienceLogic also has Powersync and PowerMap etc., which could be a great help in our business. In today's complex world, a better centralized monitoring tool would save us a lot.

ScienceLogic is ScienceMagic!
- Zenoss Cloud and Nagios
Zenoss didn't offer the flexible scaling that ScienceLogic offered. This was a huge need for us. Additionally, ScienceLogic is able to do more and go more in-depth overall. When comparing ScienceLogic to Nagios the word "simplicity" jumps out. Though Nagios was scalable, it was in-efficient, complicated to learn and clunky. ScienceLogic is more intuitive and business-friendly overall.

Sciencelogic. Put your back into it!
We use two monitoring systems in our environment for the sake of redundancy and cross-checking. That said, we have seen that Sciencelogic occupies a unique space in the market. Its primary competition in our use case was SolarWinds NPM, and Whatsupgold. We found it could produce polished-looking results even better than SolarWinds while being nearly as customizable as WhatsUp Gold. While we eventually settled on using 2 of the 3 we heavily tested, we found Sciencelogic's graphing and customization to be indispensable, even if ease of use was lacking at times.

Go with a different product, not worth the headache.
ScienceLogic is garbage compared to the competition. We only went with it cause it was cheap and we had to have a system.

ScienceLogic: A Complete Monitoring Solution.
ScienceLogic is more feature rich and relatively easy to get into. For example, it is far superior to OpManager and PRTG in terms of features and capabilities. It is much easier to pick up compared to Zabbix. To enjoy a lot of function/features of ScienceLogic, you don't need to do a lot of training. However, it costs a lot more than any of these and probably a little bit intensive on the resource requirement side.

Ease of enterprise network monitoring/managing.
I just started using AeroHive for our Access points management. I really have any point to make Science logic standout against the AeroHive.

ScienceLogic for the city

Proceed with caution
Solarwinds initially looked like a good value for the money. We are now revisiting our earlier decision.

Adaptability in Cloud

Science Logic Review
Enterprise Monitor, own developed tool by current organization, It was an old tool and has its own limitation. Even limitation for add on features. So organization needed new tool with flexibility of integration with existing environment. Science Logic tool met the expectation and so it is with us now as our primary tool.
July 17, 2019
Outdated and Clunky
ScienceLogic is decades behind these other products I have used and tested. If management will listen to me, we will not have ScienceLogic after the contract end date.
There is significant parity between functionality provided within ScienceLogic and the capabilities that exist in at least two of their competitors, which are OpsRamp and Zenoss.

EM7/ScienceLogic....good but not great!
In general EM7 stacks up well to other commercial products and open source products. Personally I have worked with well over 25 or 30 different monitoring products (probably 50 if you include product evaluations) and would rate EM7 around the top 75% as it applies to features and capabilities, but there are a few products I have worked with or evaluated that exceed EM7. Examples are EMC Smarts and the Managed Engine suite of products.

ScienceLogic's dynamic nature could be a maker or a breaker depending on your situation.
I used Centerity but it was in its final days and we were already implementing ScienceLogic

ScienceLogic Review
ScienceLogic has better potential to do the required job within the right economy.

Great Monitoring and Reporting System.
The only other product that I used is Cisco TMS which I still use but not much for monitoring now. ScienceLogic allows me to monitor issues for multiple customers in one area and this saves me time every day for other tasks. The reporting feature is also easy to use and provides a more detailed and presentable look for the customer.

Lots of potential, but ultimately very disappointing
We chose ScienceLogic due to its marketed capabilities, but canceled it due to its shortcomings.

Data that fosters innovating user experience
Enterprise scalability and integration availability.
Unified monitoring solution for all workloads.
May 05, 2019
A highly flexible and scalable monitoring platform -- anything is possible (if you know what you're doing)
We chose ScienceLogic over PRTG due to:
- The ability to handle multiple clients in the same instance.
- The ability to scale to a very larger number of monitored devices.
- The ability to be customized to monitor all kinds of device types.
- The ability to do advanced reporting of metrics.
- Having an open and extensive API.
- The ease of management of the system itself w. regards to patching/upgrades and change in configurations.
