ManageEngine Application Manager provides comprehensive support and documentation, making it easy for IT teams to get up to speed quickly and troubleshoot issues as they arise.
We selected Managed Engine due to its comprehensive monitoring capabilities, which aligned perfectly with our requirements. It offered the best value for money, making it the ideal choice for optimizing our monitoring needs.
The support for distributed tracing and logging provided by ManageEngine Application Manager enables IT teams to quickly identify the root cause of performance issues across multiple tiers of applications and infrastructure.
No other products we have used so far. We are happy with the APM product currently being used as a 3-rd party tool to manage servers' health and availability. We are happy with the services all the time and highly recommend using them in organizations or cloud environments or …
Other solutions like Microsoft EM and SCCM can be interdependent and cause all sorts of issues and additional costs. I think software should be optionally integrated and work on its own as a standalone solution. I like that ManageEngine allows for specific use of its software …
ScienceLogic SL1 supports large scale of IT Infrastructure devices and vendors. Was the single tool providing multiple functionalities at same time and allowed to remove additional legacy tools used for monitoring. Allowed integration with incident management and CMDB. Allowed …
From a capability perspective they stack up very similar but from a look and feel, ScienceLogic SL1 one is miles behind the curve on all three. We chose SL because we already had elements of the service in place on our infrastructure from our previous MSP so they were a …
I see great potential and infact i do strongly beleive it offers even beter capabilities than the traditional tools out there but again it comes down to how well you have trained us on how to unlock these capabilities. I suggest incentives for techs for providing feedback for …
Geneos is more complicated and 'heavy' to setup. It requires a lot of expertise in setting up. Also the dashboards are not great. ScienceLogic SL1 works well for customer facing dashboards.
Entuity was lacking a lot of custom reporting and also the out of the box automation and RBA was also less. Our customers were mainly looking for devices which are next gen like sdwan which Entuity doesn't support. When it come to ScienceLogic SL1 it will support all sets of …
Galileo analyzes storage arrays and backups more thoroughly, but SL1 is much better for host and network monitoring. SL1 has some storage monitoring features for some storage arrays, but they are not as detailed.
I was not part of the team selecting ScienceLogic SL1. Our goal was to increase event visibility in our server environment. We were using scripting which created many false events. SolarWinds is primarily used in the Network space to monitor network gear.
Agentless product that can integrate easily with other product and also allow us to automate tasks, example closing tickets when events are cleared automatically which user interactions.
Just because Science logic provides much more better enhancement and getting improved everyday. The autonomous integration and overall customization provided by the SL1 Platform is outstanding. In every sections be it in Monitoring or checking system logs and provide the best …
Science logic SL1 is so user friendly and it's really easy to navigate between function. I would recommend Sciene logic SL1 to all of them who are looking for really useful monitoring tool and expecting easy way of managing it.
ScienceLogic SL1 has a greater understanding and maturity on what Infrastructure monitoring needs to be and has to include at a decent price point for what it offers compared to its competitors.
ScienceLogic SL1 comparing with ITM/Netcool monitoring has better price. It's more easy to implement and mange ScienceLogic SL1 then other monitoring tools.
Managed Engine Applications Manager excels in monitoring virtual machine databases and general system health. However, it isn't designed for monitoring items like UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems. Its strengths lie in optimizing IT infrastructure, while UPS monitoring would be better suited to managed engine opsmanager.
Appropriate if you are setting up a monitoring suite in new Infrastructure Environment. Definitely NOT suited for Migration Projects. ScienceLogic SL1 cannot cater to a lot of monitoring requirements which already would have been configured in old monitoring suite. Plus, limited support for customizations and having to go to "Feature Requests" route makes in extremely complicated.
Creating powerpacks from scratch for new devices may be straightforward but will rarely be easy. Rewarding when completed, but not easy.
Developer documentation needs a rethink. While the information may be there (it isn't always) it is not easy to find. This is not helped by using different terms for the same things.
A developer console/dashboard for monitoring data collection from powerpacks instances without having to switch webpages or have to monitor multiple webpages.
For the the trust, security and support that ManageEngine Application Manager has given us, for 12 years as clients, has made us very satisfied and grateful for the response times to resolve doubts or needs that we have had.
We migrated away from our 20-year-old homegrown solution and have no back-tracking capability. ScienceLogic is demonstrating new capabilities that we would not have been able to do on our own using our legacy system. We understand the capabilities of competitors based on our bake-off selection where ScienceLogic won on capabilities and future near-term potential (expandability, platform growth). We know that those competitors are not really close to where we have been able to push ScienceLogic (as a partner).
The intuitive ease of the administration interface, the new features, improvements and security fixes that are quickly integrated with frequent updates. Tuning or more detailed reports associated with attributes of services, applications or containers that help us detect certain flaws in our services. The capacity for improvements that are implemented and the ease of integrating new monitors into the product, which we need, gives us the speed and ease of preventing interruptions or events that helps us avoid.
We use ScienceLogic SL1 in our organization to serve effective monitoring solutions to our external customers. Our customers depend upon us for critical events/alerts related to their IT infrastructure gears and using SL1, we're able to provide them with a proactive monitoring solution that resolves an issue before an impact is noticed by the customer. There are very few monitoring solutions that can cater to a variety of Cloud platforms like Public Cloud (AWS, Azure) and private cloud simultaneously and SL1 addresses this business problem very well
Science Logic SL1 provides the option of Distributed deployment where multiple instances of each appliance can be deployed to manage the load and availability. SL1 provides a High Availability feature for Database Servers and Data Collection. If one of the Data Collectors in the collector group fails, it will automatically redistribute the devices from the failed Data Collector among the other Data Collectors in the Collector Group. The high availability feature for the Database server ensures that SL1 performs failover automatically to another server without causing the outage to the application.
The performance is entirely dependent on the complexity of the environment/network being used to host the platform. Outside of those factors, the platform runs very efficiently and quickly out of the box. We have integrations with other platforms and neither seem to take a hit from our moderate API usage. Any issues with performance would be experienced by choices made in infrastructure or complexity of things built by the customer to display in the GUI (overly complicated and cluttered dashboards for example)

So far, it's good as part of my overall experience, except for a couple of use cases. The support team is well knowledgeable, has technical sound, and is efficient. When support escalates to engineering, the issue gets stuck and takes months to resolve.
When I joined our company, I did not know about the in person training at firts. Logging onto the SL University, I realised that there were different sessions being held at different times throughout the year. The training itself was good, but being in a different time zone, made it difficult to attend, but the sessions that I attended was great!
There are a lot of educational materials and courses on the SL1 training site (Litmos university). However the recording quality is sometimes not very good - screen resolution is low. There is a lack of professional rather than user-oriented documents and there are mistakes in documentation and education is not well structured.
Along with the purchase of the solution, we purchased a statement of work with their Professional Services organization to meet our outcomes and fill our critical gaps. The PS team was outstanding, very professional and allowed us to screen share while they built our integrations. In many cases they would teach us how they did certain things within the platform.
Other solutions like Microsoft EM and SCCM can be interdependent and cause all sorts of issues and additional costs. I think software should be optionally integrated and work on its own as a standalone solution. I like that ManageEngine allows for specific use of its software and not forcing users into an unneeded license or contract.
We evaluated a couple of other competitive products in the IT infrastructure observability domain; however, we found that ScienceLogic has a slight edge over the others for us. We encountered a cost barrier, as managing too many customers with an MSP setup was a costly affair, and several solutions did not offer an MSP solution at that time.
Our deployment model is vastly different from product expectations. Our global / internal monitoring foot print is 8 production stacks in dual data centers with 50% collection capacity allocated to each data center with minimal numbers of collection groups. General Collection is our default collection group. Special Collection is for monitoring our ASA and other hardware that cannot be polled by a large number of IP addresses, so this collection group is usually 2 collectors). Because most of our stacks are in different physical data centers, we cannot use the provided HA solution. We have to use the DR solution (DRBD + CNAMEs). We routinely test power in our data centers (yearly). Because we have to use DR, we have a hand-touch to flip nodes and change the DNS CNAME half of the times when there is an outage (by design). When the outage is planned, we do this ahead of the outage so that we don't care that the Secondary has dropped away from the Primary. Hopefully, we'll be able to find a way to meet our constraints and improve our resiliency and reduce our hand-touch in future releases. For now, this works for us and our complexity. (I hear that the HA option is sweet. I just can't consume that.)
By providing valuable insights into application performance and resource utilization, it has contributed to better decision-making and resource allocation.
It has helped us identify and resolve performance issues more quickly, minimizing the impact on business operations.
ManageEngine Application Manager has improved our ability to monitor and manage critical applications, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.
