Overall Satisfaction with ScienceLogic SL1

It took long to implement it and the engineers availability was on an uncomfortable timing (night time for us). It proved to be limited when many devices comes back online, on handling this high volume of data
We use it to monitor our network devices availability, ports or tunnels flapping, temperature, power and CPU performance and critical factors, rarely internet line performance. We do use to monitor also IPSLA and latency. Integrated with our monitoring system to open and close tickets automatically.
It can gather also chassis and SN info. It has more functions but on a daily job we use part of it
On-Premise Only
  • Monitor devices availability
  • It lets you set maintenance mode
  • the 2nd version is more readable and intuitive
  • Elaboration power
  • Install and customization support from Australia, very uncomfortable for other tmie zones
  • Newer version accessible only by rewriting the address, it seems to be still in Beta

  • It definitely helps but it's difficult to quantify an ROI as it is a monitoring system
Simpler than Zabbix, and with better graphic in the newest version. More limited
It is well suited for low IT budget companies, and that are using also other instruments. For big corporations there are software with better gui, more complete like Zabbix (even though Zabbix requires more manpower to customize it and manage it) or with better performance when managing lots of data like during P1 with many devices down
