SL1 is used for monitoring all our infrastructure from networks, servers, applications and databases.
it has a very good event management system providing real-time monitoring and incidents management
also, it provides us with daily, real-time, scheduled monthly and weekly performance reports for our company and most of our clients.

we use SL1 as a root cause analysis if any issues arise and troubleshooting the issues is easier when you are able to identify the route cause faster.

ScienceLogic SL1 replaced a few different monitoring tools for us. We had a homegrown platform for alerting and ticketing, as well as a purchased solution for performance and capacity management. It performs all of these functions well at a very large scale. ScienceLogic's Incident Automation and CMDB Sync enabled us to reduce operations workload actioning tickets by auto resolving tickets when issues clear and auto re-opening tickets when it determines the situation is likely the same root cause.

ScienceLogic SL1 is primarily used by us as an event based performance monitoring tool which further got integrated to a MoM and then to other ticketing and Automation tools. Since we have a huge Infra to support, ScienceLogic SL1 holds prime relevance in our entire tooling solution. This is the single source of truth as far as our NW device inventory is concerned. All devices in our scope has to be included in ScienceLogic SL1 first. Based on the configuration backup requirement, we have RestorePoint as well as in the solution. The best part is, it's been the same vendor product now and with the Sync Pack available on vendor product, we can automate the RestorePoint On-boarding process. This helps in optimizing the Onboarding efforts.

This is a tool which makes the monitoring services easy and understandable way on a futureproof concept. It is usable on bare metal and on cloud services as well. We can manage the data in real-time and reports can be created on customized desires. To install a system with this tool is required some expertise.

We are using SL1 as a direct replacement for the Solarwinds Orion product. The plan is to use it to assist in streamlining break/fix issues through integration with the Cherwell ticketing management system though the integration is currently not completed, yet. We are monitoring not only servers and storage appliances but routers, switches, load balancers, and firewalls WAN and MAN utilization.

We are using ScienceLogic as a monitoring tool. We are monitoring various servers like windows, Linux, Unix, AIX, Vcenter, ESXi, and DB like oracle and MSQL. Initially, we faced several challenges in monitoring the servers. After migrating our servers to SL1, it is easy to understand, and UI is very convenient to use. SL1 is user-friendly.

We are currently adopting ScienceLogic SL1 as our tool for monitoring network infrastructure (branch and data center routers and switches, firewalls, load balancers, proxies). Its role is - to detect events and create SNOW tickets for the support team for defined events. - to gather data by SNMP polling and provide graphs of this data to network support staff

With the help of Cloud services and superior data modeling tools, it is possible to efficiently keep tabs on a wide variety of services. Powerful and efficient in terms of time management and the ease with which good and clean data reports can be prepared, the database administration and process control features are also highly convenient. The dashboard provides quick access to all of its features, which aids in managing expenses and generating lucrative solutions.

It is used for a particular product, called Unified Communications. ScienceLogic is monitoring and creating reports for this product. In some cases, it is helping us to generate our report for our customers, i.e. when a customer migration happens. Also, we create some intelligence about alarming, so the service is better monitored.

We are an MSP providing monitoring and analytics services to audio/video and UC customers. We use SL1 to monitor customers' audio / video integrated rooms and UC endpoint-enabled rooms including Poly, Cisco and LifeSize devices. We have a 24/7 customer support operation centered around receiving customer device events from SL1, auto-generating tickets into our ITSM platform and providing real-time analytics and trending report analysis through SL1 collected data. This data and analytics help customers make business decision surrounding the use and optimal deployment of their conferencing and enriched media services to their internal teams.

We use ScienceLogic SL1 for monitoring our clients and as our main SNMP poller. ScienceLogic SL1 does an excellent job integrating with our ticketing system and alerting the client when there is an issue. It has many robust features that can be added and tuned to get the alerting dialed in to exactly how you want. We haven't been able to find another tool that matches what it is capable of doing. Also, we are regularly adding new power packs to monitor new equipment and software. Support has been very responsive when we are having issues and are always able to help us to resolve and do any tuning needed. As we grow, we feel ScienceLogic SL1 will continue to be able to handle our needs and provide the best monitoring for ourselves and our clients.

ScienceLogic SL1 is used as the primary observability platform to monitor the health of infrastructure and applications in our Corporate Data Centers and Market locations. An integration using SL1 PowerFlow, with ServiceNow has allowed us to automate Incident escalation in a fine-tuned manner, ensuring events get escalated to the correct teams and individuals. This automation has allowed us to minimize NOC staffing requirements, essentially adopting a lights-out posture and only requiring staff to manage/maintain the product. As an early adopter of SL1, the product has played a vital role in our business for years, giving us the confidence we need in observability.

SL1 is used as a strategic monitoring tool for hybrid cloud environments, compute, middleware and database. More recently we have expanded into network device monitoring to provide a holistic monitoring platform for multiple user groups. We have a mix of hosted and SaaS platforms across all geographies. SL1 is deployed in an agentless mode which reduces the administrative overhead associated with legacy tools that were reliant on one or more agents to perform similar functions.

SL1 we have leveraged for ITOPS, which includes IT infrastructure discovery, CMDB update, performance monitoring, fault monitoring, alert management, and auto incident creation into the ITSM platform. It helps to address ITOPS problems. A couple of use cases server operating system performance, database performance, network devices performance monitoring. Discovery of all IT devices and update the CMDB.
