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."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters. This allows us to be aware of their position within the topology."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"The monitoring of the applications to let our business know when things are performing and that they're up and available."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"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 has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The power flow is great."
"It is simple."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"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 Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"A useful feature to have would be automatic configuration per standard by new robots that check in for any particular customer."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"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."
"The biggest feature that I've been hoping they would enhance on is inventory management: things like adding/removing nodes."
"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."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"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."
