We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"We can monitor MPLS network VPN, network configuration, and backups. It's highly scalable for network configuration management."
"The fault management is perfect."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"It is simple."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"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."
"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 tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"I think the management or configuration of devices needs some improvement."
"Its visualization can be improved. It doesn't have a very advanced GUI. It is very basic and simple, but it does work."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"It doesn't really allow for multi-tenancy. If you're an ISP or an MSP and you want to use this tool to provide these types of fault management services to your customers, you would need a separate SpectroSERVER for each customer..."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"I would like to see them eliminate the Java console. The user interface for this is a Java applet that runs on your desktop, and it is very problematic for us."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
