Overall Satisfaction with ScienceLogic SL1

Love to use Science logic tool as our first monitoring tool to provide services to the customer. Auto restart feature in Sl1 will allow us to get event when those crucial services has not started after server reboots and also minimize the P1's that we have as a result of that.
Science logic helps our company to provide services to the customers in more easier and relevant ways. We can easily monitor any sort of devices on it in a very unique way. The design scope of a use case can be the enterprise, a specific system or a subsystem. Use cases that are used to describe the business process are typically of scope “enterprise”.

Pros

  • It better monitors every single and smallest things for the devices like CPU utilization, Thresholds, Memories etc.
  • Auto-ticketing for the alerts is the best part of it.
  • It helps to build relationship between one parent and many child devices.

Cons

  • It should only alert for the device/server which is down, not for all the other devices attached to the same affected devices.
  • Tabs should be in more organized manner instead.
  • Nothing more.
  • 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.
  • Grouping of Devices for central management
  • communicates with Service Now very well
  • Easily search customers or devices
  • Event Monitoring
  • Dashboards and creating custom Dashboards
  • Device Discovery
Just because Science logic provides much more better enhancement and getting improved everyday. The autonomous integration and overall customization provided by the SL1 Platform is outstanding. In every sections be it in Monitoring or checking system logs and provide the best customer satisfaction. The service and support provided by Science logic team is the sword towards their success and that’s the main reason of their growth. Workflow Automation, Powerflow and AIOps management is the best parts of SL1 platform.

Using ScienceLogic SL1

2000 - Works on different service provision.
Networks team, Windows team, Even Database management teams too need their devices and data to be monitored and taken care and the best platform they could have asked for is Science logic SL1 Platform without any doubt.
All the different teams of my Organization who want their customers to be satisfied always go towards SL1 for their monitoring and other customer’s demand.
4 - To support Science logic, the first thing is if you have no idea what Science logic is, I would still say you can use SL1 at their best by just using the SL1 Training and support modules that they provide and these are so easy to understand and go ahead as a begineer to the Expert level.
If somebody wants to support ScienceLogic SL1 as a developer, then they must have a good knowledge of Python but that is way beyond as SL1 started a very low/No code strategy to go ahead.
