Overall Satisfaction with ScienceLogic

It is being used as a network monitoring system and a ticketing system. It has a setting that will make events and the events can then be aligned with a ticket. Great network monitoring tool!

Pros

  • Alerts
  • Events
  • Sends emails

Cons

  • Alerts need to be self-correcting: when writing them I should not have a rule that says when the condition clears then we clear the alert.
  • If an alert is aligned with a ticket when the alert clears the ticket should be able to change category example for root cause analysis.
  • 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
It was only being used for the network team. They were able to look at everything.
I did not interrogate well with ours we did not really have one.
I would be reluctant because it seems a little bloated; some canned views would be nice. Example: If I install the VMWARE power pack can I have a vm dashboard view? CISO dashboard view, server dashboard view extra built in, now you have to make custom dashboards.

    Dear Matthew, Thank you for taking time to write a review about your experience. We noted that you had some recommendations regarding the Eventing options offered within SL1 surrounding “self-correction” and updates to category when using Ticketing and would be happy to discuss further in order to better understand your use cases. Please reach out to me @ bharding@sciencelogic.com where we can discuss further. Sincerely, Bryan Harding | Product Manager | ScienceLogic
