"Power packs."
"It is simple."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"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."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"The solution is scalable. If you want to monitor more you have to buy more licenses, but you can add on. We don't plan to increase usage."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"The solution has improved our overrides and the ability to start services if they're stopped."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."

"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."
"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 database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They need a little more self-service."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"The interface is a little bit cumbersome and certain actions could be simplified."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"SCOM's feature that notifies us when a server is down is not present in recent updates, which has weakened the product."
"In a future release, they should add email notification alerts."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
