"It is easy to integrate with other models such as Oracle, other systems, external systems, and to reach events."
"This product allows us to make use of open-source products, including running Java code."
"The most valuable feature that comes with Netcool/Impact is the ISPF APA support. It is inherent to Netcool/Impact, so I can use the ISPF of any other product, which I can invoke and consume through Impact, and do integrations, which is great. I run the Netcool desktop application so I can integrate with other applications in the ticketing system. It's a great ability being able to invoke ISPF and integrate."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."

"IBM is not investing in the development of the on-premise version of this solution."
"Stability-wise, this product needs to be improved."
"The solution is somewhat complicated. It's not exactly straightforward."
"For improvement, I'd say the dashboard and the overall GUI could use some work. Although, I don't think that there's much improvement that Netcool really needs to achieve in this area, because when we're talking GUI, Impact is able to integrate with any third-party system and it comes with ISPF APA. It's more beneficial than Netcool/OMNIbus in this respect, and it's quite easy to handle."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
