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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"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."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"It is simple."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"I enjoy its integration with the Microsoft Active Directory functions, which means users, computers, or other group policies can connect with Windows Active Directory."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"They need a little more self-service."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"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."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"The management of the servers could be better."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"The price could be improved."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
