We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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 monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"Great customized dashboards and drill down reports with auto serve analytics."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"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."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"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."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"The power flow is great."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"We have experienced challenges with finding a mechanism to deploy the agents, but it's only on the first deployment so it's not a big issue."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"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 add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"They need a little more self-service."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
