This has been a wonderful replacement for SolarWinds. The GUI is more user-friendly and the dashboards present eye-pleasing graphics for those who come by and see them up on displays. The flexibility of the alerts and escalation chains is definitely a plus. This has allowed us to tailor alerts for each of our division's needs.

The built-in alerts are fantastic. By default all alerts are enabled. You can fine tune each alert as needed.
The deployment was quick. Within 4 hours I had about 90% of our environment configured in LogicMonitor.
The UI is quick.
The support and POC team are fantastic. They helped us learn about the product and helped us configure the solution for our environment.

Cons

Not many
Expensive though comparatively lately these devices have stayed fairly consistent while other vendors have increased greatly and are catching up.
Support is limited, though this can be an advantage because of the security.

Clicking through different tabs on the left nav pulls up entirely different interfaces and is a bit jarring at times.
Being more linkable to share or export the exact screen / time window that you're looking at would be helpful.
It does a very wide variety of monitoring, pretty well, but it is very limited on the SQL database related metrics / tracking which requires us to still maintain a separate tool for monitoring more in depth database related metrics.

LogicMonitor 8.0

Based on 24 answers

Very easy to use once initial setup is complete. Interface is clean and if you set up product groupings and dynamic groups and dashboards it will improve your overall experience. LogicMonitor is the first item I check each day when I get into the office. It's clean and lets me see issues I need to address.

LogicMonitor 8.9

Based on 108 answers

I believe that the community portal is very good. I have been able to find what I needed, 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time, I have placed a ticket and was able to get the issue (or configuration) resolved, with the knowledge from the technician that I was assigned.

LogicMonitor 9.1

Based on 5 answers

The Implementation team kept us on track even when we didn't have time. They made up for our lack of focus at times and boiled everything down to simple tasks which enabled a quick deployment and an easy transition to regularly using the tool. They also kept us in a post-implementation for a while after which ensured we have multiple support options after go-live

We actually use both. We use LogicMonitor for the actual monitoring and alerting of our systems and Sumo Logic for aggregating the logs and finding "patterns" or providing some sort of audit trail. In my mind they are two different systems and should be used as such, even with some similarities.
