"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"It is simple."
"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."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"They need a little more self-service."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"The reporting module that got integrated into the system itself, used to be a standalone solution and I preferred that."
"One of the challenges with SolarWinds is that in order to pull the data, we have to have a lot of false positives."
"Robustness of network element mapping tool could be better"
"There needs to be more integration of widgets, especially for reporting purposes."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly."
"Technical support and releases are not particularly reliable."
"Consolidation of platforms would provide a smoother experience."
"Time: A worldwide deployment can be confusing for dispersed users with non-local times. Each node should have a local time (with summer offset if appropriate) & each user should view & report in their local time."
