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.

ScienceLogic SL1 is good for cloud monitoring - main vendors are supported, and a lot of modern hardware is supported. There is lack of support of old operating systems and the agents may consume a lot of local resources. The SL1 system scales well and has good manufacturer support and has good price.

In most of the scenarios I was able to assist users to view info pertaining to there specific case study. In cases where I was unable to help users or customers, it was a lack on our side, and not a problem with the product as we have not implemented all the functionality as I would have liked. SL1 is not a capacity tool, but it can be used to feed information into systems like BMC Truesight to do capacity reporting on.

We are using SL1 in our Network monitoring, it is helping us in monitoring our servers and knowing the status when the server status when they are in critical state, we are using in the integration aswell with ticketing tool. If the company is both large and small, SL1 can be used for monitoring both cases. There are lot of monitoring available already, you can use it and even we can customize or create it based on the requirement. We have monitoring for different types of devices like windows, linux etc. We have default polices we can use to monitor, we have reports, we have integration with emails as well to use. We have powerflow aswell to use, where we can integrate it with third party tools. We have topology view to use. We have powerpacks to use for monitoring, they get updated regularly in the monitoring point of view. Event SL1 portal also gets updated with the upgrades that makes the UI more customer friendly. We have dynamic application monitoring as well, which helps to monitor the devices based on the scripting. The Dynamic applications are present for different types of device classes, they are both OOB and customizable for monitoring.

Appropriate if you are setting up a monitoring suite in new Infrastructure Environment.

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.

This tool is aptly designed for routine monitoring tasks in daily business operations. However, adapting it to meet the needs of a large organization with over 1000 employees involves an extensive commitment of time. Expect to spend several months developing custom code, tailoring dynamic applications, and setting up automations to ensure it aligns well with the organization's scale and requirements.

A single tool that can be used to monitor, event management, and incident management. Agentless monitoring is an added advantage where most of the other monitoring tools in the market need agents to perform monitoring. Root cause analysis, automated run book automation, build own dynamic applications to customize any tools/application monitoring

Science Logic is a next-level and all-in on one solution for monitoring IT assets. Its simplified UI components navigate the product in a very easy-to-use manner. Science Logic has been a strong partner to work with the product is very good and is very customizable I have not found a situation that SL1 will not perform.

Almost perfect for OS monitoring. For some application you can use log file monitoring. It could have problems with specific technologies like cluster monitoring

To monitor Small, medium and large IT infrastructure ScienceLogic is well suited.
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.

I would have experienced a lot many scenarios and found using Science logic, It makes our life easier to understand everything for the devices that are getting monitored there. we integrated ScienceLogic SL1 to streamline our IT operations. We used its unified monitoring for a clear view of our hybrid IT environment, automating asset discovery which saved significant manual effort. The platform's AI-driven analytics improved our incident response, dependency mapping aided in informed decision-making during migrations, and its capacity planning tools optimized our resource utilization. Overall, SL1 transformed our IT processes, making them more proactive and efficient.

I think ScienceLogic SL1 is well suited for a scenario to monitor servers or infrastructure resources in order to detect any kind of problem to solve an to not affect the service of your company. I think it is less appropriate the software to monitor web pages or applications to anticipate a posible down of the page

ScienceLogic, especially in a SaaS like we're using is well suited for almost all scenarios. For the most part you need to have a collector on each customer site but this is not always required and you can bypass this by having VPN's established with customers. SL1 especially exceeds with plugging in straight to Azure and monitoring Azure environments exceptionally well

I think ScienceLogic SL1 is well suited for monitoring on-premise, cloud and IoT devices. It provides robust reporting, integration, visualization and automation.

In my opinion, it would be benefit from incorporating more network flow and application performance monitoring.

As an Admin I understood that SL is overall a good monitoring tool but if we compare it with Splunk or Solarwinds, It can still make changes or add more features internally in the tool itself.
