Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"It's a very good product overall."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"Power packs."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"It is simple."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"What needs improvement in Micro Focus Operations Bridge is its resource heaviness because you need many resources to deploy and support it. It's a good solution for larger organizations, but for small businesses, not so much."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They need a little more self-service."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
