We use SL1 predominantly for Event Monitoring and overall health in our different customer environments. One of the business problems that we addressed by using SL1's process monitoring on servers via a custom dashboard, was to identify which application was causing high CPU usage and related processes. We created a custom dashboard that combined all the pieces of the puzzle together in one window, and we could focus our attention on what needed to be done, instead of trying to log onto to each server and see what was causing the problems. Creating dashboards in SL1 is quite easy and when there are issues in any of our customer environments, a dashboard can easily be put together, that highlights certain areas of technology, and this enables us to

ScienceLogic SL1 is being used for management and administration of Customer's Infrastructure (Servers and Network Elements).

Apart from Monitoring the Customer Infrastructure, SL1 needs to be integrated to data lake to ensure efficient reporting and limited load to the Monitoring Module. SL1 PowerFlow was used for this integration.

In the existing engagement, expectation was to migrate from old monitoring suite to SL1.

ScienceLogic SL1 is used to monitor the health of our devices. We primarily use events to monitor server resources, connectivity issues automation policy to meet our event conditions triggering an automatic action. If conditions are met an email is sent out and a ticket is raised and updated in our SNOW instance. The associated events also update our ticket status. Historically scripts were used to accomplish our monitoring needs. ScienceLogic SL1 has made our process more efficient with it automation.

We use ScienceLogic SL1 in our organization to serve effective monitoring solutions to our external customers. Our customers depend upon us for critical events/alerts related to their IT infrastructure gears and using SL1, we're able to provide them with a proactive monitoring solution that resolves an issue before an impact is noticed by the customer. There are very few monitoring solutions that can cater to a variety of Cloud platforms like Public Cloud (AWS, Azure) and private cloud simultaneously and SL1 addresses this business problem very well. Not only this, the ease with which the SL1 UI Operates is just commendable and pretty fast with zero to no latency. Being a multi-cloud company, it's important that we serve our customers with fanatical support and SL1 helps us achieve that every day.

Monitoring the environment includes Servers, Networks, Cloud, Applications, Storage, Database, and Operating system. Business problems to replace multiple monitoring tools with one solution. Scope of the tool to replace existing monitoring solutions and handling integrations with other monitoring and health check systems. Integrate with the existing ticketing system, and automate actions for resolving the issues.

ScienceLogic SL1 is a very good platform for learning. Complex tool with a lot of features, some left to be described. It seems like very capable tool, although it does have some shortfalls. of course many monitoring platforms have these, as its a difficult task to make a single product cover all bases.

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.

ScienceLogic SL1 is easy to use, its user friendly, however it has many bugs and issues, a lot of performance issues in a lot of times you need to contact support, and its hard to master.
Support is mostly quick and helpfull which makes the things easier and they improve quality aswell by time.
We provide support to customers which then use the science logic to monitor their stuff.

I use ScienceLogic SL1 as our primary source for monitoring as an MSP. The biggest problem we face is it's not as granular as we would like it to be. Using ScienceLogic SL1, we monitor devices across different vendor equipment using SNMP, Nmap, and API.

The SL1 appliance is quite comparable to SCOM and other monitoring tools when you get down to the basics of it, what it does better than the others however is that it is much easier to use , visually better and has other tools and capabilities that the others don't. We're using SL1 to monitor almost all of our customer's infrastructure and are currently proceeding with a project to make it 100%. SL1 integrates straight into our Service desk platform so that everything is logged and appropriately assigned to the right teams with the right priorities per our defined rules.

We are implementing this tool for client IT infrastructure monitoring. We have multiple issues like some parameters are not supported in Palo Alto devices and we can not monitor Panoroma. And in Eventing console will Parent host name for any DB instance. In Meraki Power Pack many make and models are missing so every time we need to add manually. Like that we have many issues.

I use ScienceLogic for monitoring purposes. As a monitoring tool, it is good, but after the recent update of SL, it has some issues as power flow takes time to sync with ServiceNow, and in Prod, it takes time to sync the Alerts, which causes multiple duplicate alerts.

ScienceLogic SL1 is used within our organization as a tool for Infrastructure monitoring.

As an MSP we required to upgrade our tooling to allow us to properly enable monitoring of a customers infrastructure and alert at the correct levels from a device to a business service impact. Without ScienceLogic SL1 we were only ever able to monitor at a device by device basis and not see the entire overall impact a device outage could have on a business service and the business as a whole. We are also extending the usage of this to start automation of some of the more basic events and alerts so that we can attempt auto remediation & resolution on simple recurring issues. ScienceLogic SL1 has also given us the ability to properly look at root causes as we have more data from the various sources and can look at the events that occurred for those high priority issues in greater depth.

We had to create test environment to see all possibilities and functionality of ScienceLogic SL1 monitoring as we have plan to migrate it from current ITM/Netcool monitoring. What is surprising is fact that ScienceLogic SL1 giving so many ways to monitor different things like Storage, DB, Cloud, OS systems itself etc. Moreover ScienceLogic SL1 is so user friendly and it's really easy to navigate between functions.It seems to be very powerful software. I would recommend ScienceLogic SL1 to all of them who are looking for really useful monitoring tool and expecting easy way of managing it.

We use ScienceLogic SL1 to monitor our client devices, servers, etc. In the future, Scope is good because it helps our client to maintain their servers. Also, It makes it easy with the feature of automation. Due to this no need to manually do everything. By the use of this, we can manage and monitor the events properly.
