We performed a comparison between ScienceLogic and Spiceworks based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"The tool is quite easy to deploy, and it offers very good support."
"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."
"It is simple."
"The solution provides good infra-monitoring features."
"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."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The power flow is great."
"The solution can find all asset details automatically, whether it's a Mac address, computer name, IP address, models, etc. It's very helpful."
"The solution is very stable. It's reliable and efficient."
"Tickets by e-mail, with actions by hastag."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to manage."
"If you're in the market for a low-cost service desk system, Spiceworks is a good software solution to start out with, especially when it comes to startups and those organizations that don't currently have any existing service desk software in place."
"It was easy to integrate Spiceworks with our existing setup."
"It lets us know whether devices are getting out of date and tracked warranties. Spiceworks also gave me visibility in terms of what software was installed on each device and its status."
"It's easy to understand."
"It was challenging onboarding users."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"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."
"I would like to see more information when drilling down into access permissions, assignments management, or tagging. When I click a note or a device, I should be able to see more details about the router and modem. For example, I want to see the version, downtime, availability, latency, etc. I should have easy access to everything about our assets at a glance."
"Having an integrated asset management tool, where I can plug in things that are offline, would be good."
"There are a lot of disadvantages to Spiceworks because it's not an agent-based solution."
"Sometimes, it can be difficult to integrate what you need."
"The network mapping could be improved. Putting together an actual bonafide network map would be really nice."
"With Spiceworks, like, when I open the websites, I have to Zoom in. I need to zoom in on those websites sometimes because it makes it horrible to use."
"The GUI must be improved."
"The SNMP sniffer requires a lot of work to get right."
