Cons

More Azure Cost Management Cons →

"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.""It was challenging onboarding users.""They need a little more self-service.""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.""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.""There are often bugs in new releases.""They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
