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.

Well suited to just about any scenario ie traditional, hybrid or cloud environments.
Our customers have/do range from state entities, banks, insurers, retailers and various business types.
Whilst we do not have any "small" customers, I would imagine that it may not, due to cost, be suitable for many "small" customers.
Also, more difficult to implement for customers who do not share the vision and goal of AIOPS & monitoring as a service etc.
I would highly recommend the "workshops" (eg Clarity) provided by and/or conducted together with SL.

SL would be great in most environments, as they cover a very wide range of technologies. There platform is easy to use, and the out of the box functionality covers most of what you would need in your environment.

I would say the environments where SL is difficult to use, is where there are a lot of security rules regarding firewalls, ldap and SSO. There are some features that does not always work across the board. However, even in these environments does SL do a great job and they are happy to assist getting the functionality you need..

In my experience, it seems to be well suited to basic monitoring. I think if you need anything more than that, including needing a system not riddled with bugs, prompt support, or a cohesive user experience - look elsewhere

Organizations that require proactive monitoring for their IT environment to detect and resolve issues before they impact users or services. By using ScienceLogic SL1 it will monitor the infra proactively and will also find out the root cause so that we can perform appropriate action also we can write Automations to run some commands from ScienceLogic SL1 itself if possible.

Before starting anything in the dashboards and indeed in the data collection, careful thought, design and planning is essential before starting. All that effort is worthwhile as developing powerpacks and dashboards is then much clearer and straightforward.
1. When we needed to monitor an application that comprised of several devices and network components, it was easy to set this up and, after a little training, easy for the operations team to use it.
2. When we needed to monitor part of a cloud it was not so easy to configure, but once that was done, it was very easy to use for the operations team as it followed the same style as the application monitoring.

ScienceLogic SL1 is well-suited for organizations with mature software development and/or DevOps teams so that SL1 can be used to its full potential without having to rely on ScienceLogic's product development release cycles. Organizations without in-house software development resources will have a much steeper learning curve, especially businesses with IT infrastructure not already supported by SL1.

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. This feature has helped us a lot in building CMDB relationship diagrams. We found SL1 less appropriate when it comes to dashboarding and reporting. 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 additional columns on dashboards through Custom attributes. Out-Of-Box 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. There is a very limited number of reports that are too very basic and do not comply with industry best practices (like Availability reports do not have business and nonbusiness hour features and even do not exclude the outages during scheduled maintenance).

Some of the scenarios that ScienceLogic SL1 was well suited was with network performance monitoring. As we were using UIM for monitoring, and that had a lot of constraints in it. Hence we moved to ScienceLogic SL1 for better monitoring capabilities.

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.

It is more appropriate when we plan the entire landscape monitoring from a single tool. It does monitoring and also performs event management like deduplication and correlations. This won't fit if customers looking for low-cost monitoring solution and looking for sole network device monitoring like Routes, Switches, loadbalensers, Firewalls, Security devices, etc...

Provide more Traditional Chinese support, online courses, PowerPack support, diversified report options, better user interface and user experience.

The more efficiency monitoring of the Science Logic system itself, like performance and more diversified email notifications.

More convenient communication channels for customers, more real-time support, and let customer convenience to provide feedback.

ScienceLogic SL1 is highly appropriate when I need logs to see what is happening in my network. It shows me the appropriate and applicable things I need to see if my network is running and is good. If someone needs something to watch their network, then this does it.

SL1 is well suited for complete infrastructure monitoring, which includes both On-Premise and Cloud, including Network monitoring. SL1 is also doing very good with SDWAN Routers' interface utilization

For the last ten years, ScienceLogic SL1 has been my go-to recommendation for monitoring platforms. Its ease of learning curve and its out-of-the-box capabilities provide a majority accurate representation of alerting expectations with their eagerness to offer customizable solutions for one-off needs.

ScienceLogic SL1 is a great solution if you're interested in a solution like Nagios that has a lot of features out of the box but is constantly being improved upon with additional technologies being supported on an ongoing basis. You get the support of an enterprise company that usually exceeds that of an open source solution. However, due to the cost of the tool, smaller/less complex environments might be better suited to an open source tool.
