What is ScienceLogic SL1?

ScienceLogic is ScienceMagic!
- Improved our overall NPS score. Our event monitoring team is more responsive and as a result, our customers are happier than they were previously.
- Challenged us as a company to think outside the box when monitoring. The flexibility of being able to implement automation, scripts, etc has allowed us to do some pretty neat things that we were not able to do with our previous system.
- Increased our MRR. We are able to offer this as a service to our customers as well as dedicated instances for bigger clients.

Sciencelogic. Put your back into it!
- This product made it possible to monitor things we couldn't before and allows us to paint a clearer picture of branch health to management than we've ever had before.
- Scienelogic is well suited to root cause analysis as well. If we find the underlying issue and fix it, we improve uptime, overall reliability, and customer/employee satisfaction.
August 23, 2019
Go with a different product, not worth the headache.
- ScienceLogic is cheap, which helps with the bottom line. But you will spend a lot of time trying to make other systems work with it.
- We've spent too much time spent trying to get the product to integrate or work with this system, loss of billable hours.

ScienceLogic: A Complete Monitoring Solution.
- ScienceLogic's capabilities allow us to onboard any customer and monitor them using our pool of NOC teams, and this gives us flexibility and scalability.
- The platform is also extremely stable and that translates to high availability.
August 08, 2019
Ease of enterprise network monitoring/managing.
- Increased the accuracy in monitoring of the device availability.
- A secure monitoring tool.
- Ease of the data collection of the network devices.
August 06, 2019
ScienceLogic for the city
- It has helped us streamline our offerings to one tool that does it all.
- Implementation has been troublesome for certain specific platforms. Lack of visibility into the processes has really hurt us.
August 06, 2019
Proceed with caution
- Expensive solution offering limited value.
July 27, 2019
Adaptability in Cloud
- Needs monitoring to make sure the servers along with networking equipment issues being reported promptly.
- There is minimal downtime in resolving issues as they are reported correctly.
- We've seen no negative impacts yet.
July 19, 2019
Science Logic Review
- Positive - more precisely monitor devices.
- Negative - from an internal tool to Science Logic collector I can easily go but not the reverse way, not sure if that can be possible.
July 17, 2019
Outdated and Clunky
- We have not had much in the way of ROI with ScienceLogic. The cost of the product eats into the ROI a tremendous amount.
- ScienceLogic virtually always generates a positive return on investment for our clients.
- ScienceLogic reduces the need for humans to constantly tweak thresholds of its performance that are acceptable.
- System maintenance and upgrades are time-consuming and often fail, requiring vendor involvement, which has reduced our ROI.
July 11, 2019
EM7/ScienceLogic....good but not great!
- Positive: in most cases has effectively detected and alerted pending or active infrastructure service impacting issues
- Negative: product costs are generally high on a per device or subscription basis
- Negative: customization is generally time consuming and complex
July 10, 2019
ScienceLogic's dynamic nature could be a maker or a breaker depending on your situation.
- Allows knowing when our SAP landscapes are down so we may get them back up quickly so we don't miss our SLAs with our customers.
- Pass the monitoring over to our customers as they just expect for monitoring to be there. So this allows us to meet our customer needs.
- Allows us the ability to easily deploy new checks to all the collectors, which saves time for the engineers.
- Negative impact when issues that affect multiple customers took very long time to be fixed
- Positive impact its ability to integrate with other monitoring tools thus ability to monitor almost everything

My thoughts
- Great for monitoring
- We did have issues with DRDB replication. A health check on DRDB should be added by default when that is set up
- We tried to use it as a ticketing system when it was not a ticketing system that is our bad
June 20, 2019
ScienceLogic Review
- Has provided higher availability of our systems.
- Has improved our visibility into the environment health.
- Faster root-cause analysis, due to its event correlation and service mapping functionalities.
June 01, 2019
Lots of potential, but ultimately very disappointing
- We have terminated our relationship with ScienceLogic in favor of alternative platforms.
May 22, 2019
Data that fosters innovating user experience
- Effective monitoring
- Pro-active measurements
- Better unified solutions.
- A single hub for monitoring multiple layers of the platform.
- Having our own delivery support model integrated with Sciencelogic giving their pay per use model.
May 05, 2019
A highly flexible and scalable monitoring platform -- anything is possible (if you know what you're doing)
- ScienceLogic has brought down the time used to manage the monitoring platform. All patching and device managements being done through one central interface
- Has allowed us to eliminate multiple other monitoring tools and consolidate in one

How ScienceLogic helps ePlus grow our MSP

April 27, 2019
SL Review

- License cost help mid-range customers to afford the best solutions.
- Also, this tool can use the manager of the manager which will help on tools cost.
April 25, 2019
Not perfect, but a solid solution with a lot of future promise in a very challenging field of competitive solutions.
- ScienceLogic allowed our Managed Service to implement Incident automation for the first time ever, which greatly increased our ability to accurately catch and triage issues.
- As a diagnostic tool, it allows our Engineers to quickly verify their current status and identify trends, which increased our efficiency and effectiveness.
- Increased the capabilities of our CMDB immensely, and allows our Solution Architects to quickly identify clients that may be in need of additional services.
- Provided an avenue for additional lines of business, such as Monitoring as a Service (MaaS).
- Positive: Enabled our support teams to jump on issues quickly.
- Positive: Enabled easier views on metrics for our customers.
- Negative: Administrative hassles tend to fly in Support's face, causing false positives.
- Negative: Lack of developer documentation (SciLo API) leads to longer R&D cycles for integration with third-party products.
