Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software 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."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The power flow is great."
"Power packs."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"I believe the ease of setup and use, including everything, from the initial installation to the discovery of devices is the most valuable."
"This solution offers a very good view of our network and allows us to effectively monitor performance."
"As we look to add more servers to our virtual environment and to understand the impact, the solution allows us to dig into the historical charts related to capacity planning."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its graphical interface and reports."
"We have configured multiple alerts for our network devices, including routers and switches, so that we are notified if any interface goes down."
"With just three modules, I can monitor server performance (whether it’s a VM, in the cloud, or an on-premises server."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"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."
"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."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"The reporting is good, but I want it to be a little easier when creating custom reports. The reports are all on the website now, but it takes some know how to get some to display the way you would like."
"If they could combine everything into one product, that would be very helpful."
"The evaluation time for the product is too short especially for large corporations."
"If they’re going for a “cover everything” approach, then they need to do so and enable a bit more of the "cover everything approach" within every one of the tools."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"The solution does not offer much customization so is somewhat inflexible."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"This solution would benefit from expanding on the capabilities within the API."
