ScienceLogic SL1 review
Broad hybrid monitoring and integrations, with automation extending into the Advanced plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ScienceLogic SL1, now branded Skylar One, is an infrastructure monitoring and observability platform for enterprises, service providers, and public-sector organizations. It covers physical and virtual servers, operating systems, VMware, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, applications, services, networks, and cloud infrastructure. Deployment options include SaaS, on-premises, private cloud, public cloud, and hybrid environments, making it suited to organizations managing varied infrastructure across locations and platforms.
Its strongest fit is broad infrastructure and service visibility. SL1 collects data through agents, agentless methods, SNMP, APIs, SSH, and Syslog, then connects infrastructure, applications, and services through dependency mapping. Event management, alerting, behavioral correlation, custom dashboards, business-service monitoring, and IT-service monitoring bring operational context beyond individual device metrics. The platform also supports SSO/SAML and API access, while 400+ out-of-the-box integrations help it fit into established enterprise toolsets.
Pricing starts with Standard at $5 per device per month, billed monthly. That plan includes hybrid-cloud monitoring, infrastructure and application observability, event management, business-service visibility, behavioral correlation, and SSO/SAML and API access. Advanced costs $6 per device per month and adds Skylar Automation, SyncPacks, 100+ workflow automations, and low-code custom workflow authoring. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Choose SL1 when broad collection methods, hybrid deployment, service context, and integrations matter most; organizations wanting a free monitoring tier or Advanced automation capabilities at the Standard price should look elsewhere.
