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.

It is well suited for low IT budget companies, and that are using also other instruments. For big corporations there are software with better gui, more complete like Zabbix (even though Zabbix requires more manpower to customize it and manage it) or with better performance when managing lots of data like during P1 with many devices down

I believe it is well suited for all environments. We utilize it in a shared environment, so good separation for the most part in that regard. There are limitations.

SL1 is well suited to the basic monitoring field, whether it is monitoring servers or networks it provides reliable consistent monitoring. for servers monitoring, its weakness is that it utilizes a lot of ports based on the required monitoring since it is not agent-based monitoring all the polling mechanism is happening from the management server side. The same goes for applications and database monitoring. but for network monitoring which it is only uses SNMP monitoring SL1 provides a stable and reliable monitoring

ScienceLogic would be a great Nagios replacement for companies who struggle with several Nagios instances due to scalability and lack of discovery, automation and enterprise features.

It could also be great for companies who desire tools consolidation across various IT silos running overlapping alerting, ticketing and graphing tools.

If there is a desire to automate ticket enrichment and/or auto remediation of issues based on monitoring signals, ScienceLogic is an excellent platform.


Large enterprise companies with a focus on complex forecasting and capacity planning may struggle to get exactly what they want out of ScienceLogic.

The reporting and analysis the tool provides is great but it somehow lacks in robustness. As we scale the infrastructure, it lacks a bit when compared to other leading tools in the market. The sizing needs to be flexible and it should perform as efficient as it does when dealing with a smaller environment.

power pack should be extended for support and the use should be simplified so we don't have to do lot of out of box customization.

The logic which was designed is very futureproofed; we can manage different systems in one tool. The sideway is the agent-server sending the data is not too resource effective; I can see some room to evolve. Adding more programming language support would be a big plus to make help less specialized staff.

It seems to do a very good job with monitoring servers and storage appliances. Network monitoring seems to be lacking as it misses bps and PPS. Also, it would be nice if device configurations were backed up, stored, and compared for differences between old and new configs or running and startup configs. Overall, it seems to do a whole lot of everything, but you have to dig to find what you need.

There haven't been any use cases I've seen that ScienceLogic SL1 has not been suitable to deal with a problem, however, their lack of support skills at times can be infuriating. Day to day, ScienceLogic SL1 is an extremely good and versatile application.

Really good system; I recommend it as you can monitor plenty of devices from different vendors. It is suited to monitor devices from different vendors. Strong monitoring and reporting features along with the integrations like ServiceNow. All-in on one solution for monitoring IT assets. Its simplified UI components navigate the product in a very easy-to-use manner.

First of all, I must say that I am not sure what the market for monitoring solutions look like, I haven't compared SL1 to other similar product. I wasn't part of the team who made the decision of adopting it. That being said, I would prefer a more "open" solution that does its job but is easily customized and integrated with other software. To that end, I would expect - straightforward programmability - thorough and clear documentation I hoped to find the above capabilities in SL1 but so far in my experience I haven't, therefore if I was asked for a recommendation, I would suggest a colleague do some research on similar products before deciding to go with SL1.

The ScienceLogic SL1 platform makes it simple to handle sensitive data and easily share files with other users while keeping their own data private. The Asset management capabilities on ScienceLogic SL1 are the best and easiest to operate, and the powerful data pulling functions and visualization ability are also fantastic bonuses.

As an alarming tool it is really powerful. Regarding alarming in Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution can improve, being more efficiency, and trying to reduce the number of API queries.
If the device or product is not having a PowerPack create, it needs some development to integrate.

As a reporting tool using Layer X needs to improve. (Layer X is not anymore as partner)

Great for enterprise deployments where there is a single standard of devices and monitoring practices in place. Managed Service Providers have a harder time deploying the solution across multiple customers due to constantly changing customer requirements, device types and monitoring and security requirements and scenarios.

SL1 is well-suited for a complete out-of-the-box IT infrastructure monitoring and AIOPS platform that functions well for environments of all sizes, including large-scale implementations requiring multi-tenancy. In areas where it is less appropriate, APM, for example, integrations are straightforward and therefore not a problem. The product is easy to use and intuitive. The auto-discovery feature allows you to realize value out of the product in days/weeks, not months.

SL1 is perfectly suited to customer environments that have little deviation across monitored devices (e.g. consistent build, standard thresholds). Customization of thresholds can be cumbersome. Lots of customers with particular monitoring requirements have found it hard to accept that SL1 doesn't do it "like other tools". Requirements for more than two thresholds on a single metric have proven challenging. Individual platforms have a maximum device count of ~35K - 40K. Scaling beyond that number involves multiple stacks. ScienceLogic has improved collector performance drastically with concurrent collection methods, requiring less investment in infrastructure. SaaS deployments are very convenient, reducing administrative overhead and responsibility.

When the requirement of monitoring parameters are limited and the client is looking for remote monitoring kind of tool, then it is one best tool. For deeper monitoring and where the client has limited options to open network ports this product struggles.

ScienceLogic EM7 is a great monitoring platform for service providers.
ScienceLogic EM7 is a great eventing platform with custom escalation levels.
ScienceLogic EM7 does a good job at the collection of data.
ScienceLogic EM7 allows client based portals and the setting of specific roles based on the client's administrative level.
ScienceLogic EM7 ticketing platform is being deprecated and is not available in the SL1 platform at this time.

I would recommend ScienceLogic SL1 in environments where there is a mix of technologies. For us, that means VMware, Hyper-V, Citrix, IBM Mainframe, and all hardware relating to that (i.e. Servers, SANs, Switching Fabric, Network, etc.). Specifically, where you wish to monitor/build up a service-designed view, it is an excellent tool.
