Cons
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting.""They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers.""They should add CLI command modes​ and scripts for high performance.""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.""I would like to see out-of-the-box standard dashboards for common services.""One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks.""They should improve their support process and add chat.""The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

More ScienceLogic Cons →

"They could improve the UI.""The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade.""The reporting could be improved.""Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
