Pros
"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up.""With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements.""OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system.""It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling.""The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to.""I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me.""Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully.""It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."

"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards.""Power packs.""Best feature of all is detailed monitoring of services, processes, ports and SSL certificates and or web content.""The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning.""It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version.

Cons
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky.""It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it.""Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions.""Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day.""Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age.""The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented.""The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​""​It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process.​"

More OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence Cons →

"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting.""They should improve their support process and add chat.""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.""There are often bugs in new releases.""The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment.""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.""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."
