"I'm satisfied with ScienceLogicfor for what they can offer today because they can offer both serverless connectivity and agent connectivity."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."

"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."

"When you implement SolarWinds on a larger scale my customers complain about the speed."
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
"PerfStack can be made more effective. I am sure SolarWinds already has a plan for the same in coming versions."
