LogicMonitor only charges by the device. What is considered a device? A device is anything with an IP address that you want to monitor, including a physical device or a cloud resource.

    cPanel
    I personally use it for any website hosting I do for me and others. There are a few others but I have stuck with the old tried and true and it always works for me and I know how to get around it so it has become a breeze for me. For those who are extremely new to websites and hosting or to those with very little technical know how cPanel could be very overwhelming and they might want to do like a managed WordPress hosting where they don't really have to see or deal with cPanel. I also probably wouldn't use it for straight email hosting. If you have thousands of cPanel accounts it may get very expensive and that could be a factor.

    LogicMonitor
    For environments that mostly use VMs and baremetal devices, LogicMonitor is a fantastic choice. It lends itself especially well to situations where you want individual teams to be able to manage the monitoring and observability of their own domains, and if you take the time to customize it to your environment in the frontend, you can get to the point where your LogicMonitor platform administrators are very rarely needed.

    Cons
    cPanel
    • The costs can be a limiting factor for some businesses if you are not using a web hosting company that uses it. I have been experimenting with Cloud hosting, which can be very daunting for the novice. There is an option to install it on the cloud but it is expensive.

    • Segmentation at an instance level not just the resource when clients are sharing the same device but shouldn't see each other's relevant data
    • ARM CPU support for collectors to allow for a lighter weight appliance deployment
    • WMI collection with a Linux collector so a windows collector would not be needed or a virtual appliance template that can be used to deploy collectors

    This product has met virtually all of our needs. It was easy to implement and has been simple to support. Customization has been intuitive with many options available. They keep adding features and expanding available options. The future of LogicMonitor looks even better than it is today which is very promising. The management and support teams at LogicMonitor are always helpful

    Usability
    cPanel
    Although it can be a little bit bloated with a lot of options and configurations, it's very straightforward to use and maintain. So it's a great option even if you don't have large experience in hosting configuration. The WHM tool is more suited to heavy users since it requires more expertise, so it has a steep learning curve to better understand how to use it.

    Set up is super easy. Just stand up a small Linux or Windows server to act as a collector. There are no agents to install on monitored devices and all you need is SNMP or WMI access. When creating dashboards, all you have to do is find the widget on the device you want to show up and choose the menu option to add it.

    Support Rating
    cPanel
    The support comes in the form of an extensive library of how to articles and community input. For most situations this will give you plenty of information and resources to trouble shoot. Live support really then would need to default to the hosting provider who provides the cPanel for your use.

    The sales team support we received was top notch. They worked hand in hand to make sure the product met all expectations. So far we have not really had to work with support that much; we have worked with setup team after purchase to deploy product fully. No issues so far and we are four weeks in.

    The implementation experience was awesome for me, as the LogicMonitor team was really helpful to us. They installed everything on our primary server and provided clear, intelligible explanations. They even trained our non-tech team on it as well. Therefore, my team and I had a very simple and pleasurable implementation experience.

    The direct server management tool access provided by cPanel hosting accounts is far superior to any shared or "standard" web site hosting packaged offered by any of the numerous web host providers I have used and or evaluated over the 20+ years of my experience working in the internet industry.

    Our business used the trial period they provided on one of our systems and conducted sessions with all of this software. Our team tested all of these software options before deciding on LogicMonitor, as our business is expanding daily and we needed a system that could accommodate our growing workforce and automatically add systems to our network, which LogicMonitor alone provided.

    Haven't really used it but our initial onboarding PS was disappointing. Felt like we were being told what we needed to cover as opposed to what we wanted to cover. In addition, we were pushed into using the PS in tight time frames and we were not ready to do so.

    • We Eliminated an on-prem monitoring tool which was in excess of 25 servers
    • A decrease in time to response from our Network Operations Center resulted in a more consistent client experience
    • Dynamic alert thresholds helped reduce alerting by about 10 to 15% as soon as we turned it on for volatile metrics like CPU and memory
