Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"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."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"The most valuable features for us are the monitoring, the health explorer, and the console."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"This solution satisfies all of the requirements that we need for our Windows-based systems, so if you are using the Windows platform then this is an easy solution."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services."
"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."
"System Center just provided upgrade and update features for Windows clients, and Windows systems, and did not support Linux, Android, or iOS, and other operating systems. They need to provide better integration with other operating systems if they don't already."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"There are some negative points about this product. Sometimes, the capabilities of the software don't appear, and you can't directly see the results. You have to wait for a long period to refresh the policy to push it to the software or other patches."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
