"The power flow is great."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"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."
"Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
"Dynamic Component Mapping is key and unique."

"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"In Checkmk, the documentation can probably be improved a bit more."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
