LogicMonitor vs. Site24x7 All-in-One Monitoring

I would not recommend it to smaller businesses or MSPs that deal with small accounts. The cost to benefit ratio is not great for those. It's usually a good fit for larger organizations that can benefit from all the features LogicMonitor offers where the price point might be acceptable.

[Site24x7 All-in-One Monitoring is] well suited in website monitoring where especially for uptime and availability of the website. Due to its cloud nature, the company has servers distributed globally that allow to check site availability from anywhere in the world.

• I think the best feature is the SaaS itself. The availablity at a webpage makes things really up to speed on the ever expanding cloud platforms taking over.
• It also doesn't boggle up the space in your email boxes sending consistent messages that aren't as critical as they should be. It simply expresses just the facts.
• Finally the ability to oversee all operations over a single customizable window pane makes it extremely intuitive and convenient.

Incentivized

• Very clean website UI. Tests are well categorized and navigation is very simple.
• The accompanying mobile app is very useful when on the go as it can also notify you of any issues.
• The cost of the platform is very cheap and the cost also scales at a low amount.
• No on-premise footprint. All cloud-based.

• Integration capabilities with PSA/Ticketing Tools lack customization for multiple calls/actions per alert function
• Netflow/traffic analytics could show endpoints vs. IPs for all the popular ones, ex: Facebook, youtube, Netflix, etc.
• GUI could be beautified...think Apple OS and easy buttons. Some of the navigation is cumbersome
• Reports function ... cumbersome, drag and drop would be lovely since properties to not auto-populate

Incentivized

• Ability to edit an existing maintenance schedule, vs creating a new one each time
• Grouping of emails to SMS and non SMS alerts to save on false alerts
• Setup of Realtime user monitor was not as functional as expected with regard to adding 3rd party scripts.

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

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.

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.

I have only had to use support once, so I can't go into much detail about their support team. The one time I did use it the response was fast but the resolution took some time.

Add good training

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

Auvik did not provide historical data and could not monitor as many device types as LM. We found the Auvik collector to be more "buggy" and have had less issues with LM. We do feel that Auvik had a better network topology map and would clearly show device relationship. That is really the only advantage that Auvik has over LM.

The biggest difference between Site24x7 and products like PRTG, Nagios, or Icinga, is that Site24x7 is hosted off the network, completely externally. The others do a great job on network alerts-- and some can even be configured to send SMS or phone calls with the right equipment and plugins-- but they usually reside in the network or at least on-site. Hosting them in the cloud might be a way around that, in which case they would be pretty similar to Site24x7 in capability, but without the additional software costs in the case of Nagios and Icinga (both open source).

LogicMonitor isn't going to be the cheapest solution out there but I do think it is the best. Also, the support is amazing where as if you were to use some free opensource tool have fun waiting for the developer to get off work to support his side project. Worth every penny.

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 are currently tracking more things that, in another way, were not possible to identify and correct.
• We work more efficiently because we first resolve the critical incidents and then continue with the less relevant ones.
• Some alerts are quite difficult to resolve and the documentation sometimes did not guide to resolve the problems.

Incentivized

• Cost savings have been substantial at approximately 70%.
• We do suffer delayed email notifications and regular locational failures from 24x7. However, this is easily overcome by extra locational checks.
• Much quicker responses from out of hours teams with the benefit of the mobile app, which is user-friendly.
