We performed a comparison between ScienceLogic and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"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."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"The power flow is great."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"The most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"In terms of the implementation, we've actually used SAM, the server and application monitoring tools. The network configuration tools are very useful in terms of bulk upgrading switches and infrastructure. Also, the Network Traffic Analyzer was extremely useful to track down errant users soaking up bandwidth."
"It helps us know when a branch is down because it has a graphic presentation of all the locations a node represents."
"What I like about SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is that it's useful for analyzing traffic. It also has an application visibility feature that lets you control applications."
"The integration with other SolarWinds products is good."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"The bandwidth monitoring functionality is one of the most important features for our customers. When the customer notices that their bandwidth usage is too high for some reason, they will use the traffic analysis within SolarWinds NTA to identify which protocols (e.g. HTTPS) or applications are using up the bandwidth."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"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 was challenging onboarding users."
"The Atlas module that is used for building the network map is very bad."
"An area for improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is application visibility because some applications aren't being recognized correctly. You can see applications such as Facebook and YouTube, but SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer needs to have more visibility into more applications. Currently, SolarWinds fails to detect more powerful applications, such as Zoom and Teams. If SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer can recognize every application and be able to report on each in terms of bandwidth, then that would be good. This is what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"This solution does not do a very good job when I am trying to look deeper into my internal network, in particular with respect to individual ports."
"It is very slow to pick the dynamics of the network."
"It's not a cheap product, so the pricing could be improved."
"What needs improvement in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is performance because sometimes, my team struggles too much for the solution to perform correctly for a specific deployment in my organization. Having a more detailed view in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is another area for improvement, but that's more part of the protocol than the actual solution."
"I'm expecting to see a little bit more artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. They need a bit more sophistication in that."
