    Unlike SL1 and IBM NOI, you do not need to buy licenses or pay for support. You can begin deployment immediately. You don't need to purchase expensive equipment or study confusing manufacturer's manuals. Zabbix can also be used freely, but it is not so common and you may need …

    ScienceLogic SL1 more cloud-oriented than Nagios. Product support is also very important for corporate users.

    SL1 stands apart from the others, imo, in their workflow automation capabilities. Giving customers a Python snippet environment to develop customer-coded diagnostic and remediation solutions stands out for us. Some of the other products I've looked at provide similar …

    ScienceLogic SL1 was the only option for WYSIWYG dashboards when we selected them in 2009 and noticeably cheaper. Other vendors are now catching up and ScienceLogic is starting to price themselves out of their market segment.

    Zenoss didn't offer the flexible scaling that ScienceLogic offered. This was a huge need for us. Additionally, ScienceLogic is able to do more and go more in-depth overall. When comparing ScienceLogic to Nagios the word "simplicity" jumps out. Though Nagios was scalable, it was …

    Nagios has a simple interface which can be used for a handful of devices, but not the entire networking infrastructure. Whereas ScienceLogic can be used to monitor the entire infrastructure to quite a high level, so that we can make sure that the infra is highly available and …

    ScienceLogic allows for agent-less monitoring of systems, unlike others that require an agent to be installed on systems. While SciLo does have an agent, it is an optional feature that is useful for a small part of our hosting and management offerings. AWS monitoring …

    It allows a much easier configuration compared to Nagios. It is a polling system instead of a agent based system like traverse. I can not recall why PTRG, MRTG, and Zabbix were not used. It does allow a easy generation of new monitoring compared to all the systems.

    • Nagios. Difficult to configure properly. Not able to add custom tests easily. Performance graphs aren't included without additional tools that require nasty configuration.
    • Zabbix. Reasonably easy to install, but non-intuitive in parts. Does not allow simple addition of custom …
