"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"There are often bugs in new releases."

"The scalability can be better."
"The price of the solution can be improved."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
