LogicMonitor

[LogicMonitor] is a awesome infrastructure monitoring tool, it support's various tools and technologies out of the box which is a huge plus. Since this is a SAAS platform this has greatly reduced our administrative overhead and helped us concentrate on bringing in various metrics from different devices and applications which is a good thing.

In our case, we were able to use LogicMonitor to make our monitoring much easier. We now have much more insight over traditional SNMP only monitoring systems.

In some cases we attempted to monitor some custom scripts that did not suit us as well for our specific use case, but that was merely an ancillary feature that would be nice but in no way a deal breaker.

LogicMonitor is well suited for any size organization that wants to not have to "worry" about what to configure when choosing to monitor an environment. LogicMonitor auto finds and associates the DataSources and other types of data with the devices you add to LogicMonitor. We monitor primarily Windows servers in a VMware environment with no in-house custom apps. LMLogs has just been introduced and we have not used it. Prior to that I would have said LogicMonitor may not be appropriate for log monitoring.

I would highly recommend Logic Monitor to be widely used by any of my colleagues, as it gives valuable information about systems that may not show any issues without it. Logic Monitor provides our company with the necessary information for us to improve our infrastructure so that we are better suited to serve the people we wish to.

Well suited for orgs using a hybrid cloud model. Really shines in the 100-5000 device realm. Too expensive for smaller shops. Fully documented API allows for custom integrations with CMDB or external ticketing tools, which makes IT management much easier. Customizable data sources allow you to collect any arbitrary metric and action appropriately. This has business use.

LogicMonitor has been fantastic for monitoring premise applications and networks as one has access to all of the data and monitoring points easily. However, with the advent of cloud applications, would love to see potentially something that can monitor network connectivity to cloud services. Also, since browser performance is so critical to success with cloud applications, would be nice to see some hooks to individual workstations and browsers that could help identify issues to end users now that everyone is working from home.

You can cover many different monitoring requirements with one tool so it helps prevent application sprawl.

LogicMonitor is perfect for monitoring network equipment especially if you have more than 1 environment split across other locations. It also provides fantastic insight into VMware products that were difficult to extract previously. The ability to go back and look historically at alerts and performance has been very beneficial. Overall a great product!

I recommend LogicMonitor for ease of implementation and the simplicity to maintain the tool and database. Since the console is hosted in the cloud it was straightforward to stand up and add collectors inside our network. It doesn't have all possible features developed at this point but if you are looking for a good tool with a great team behind it to grow with your monitoring needs LogicMonitor is a solid option that is easy to use.

Works very well for monitoring systems once everything is configured correctly.

Our dashboards help us a lot in resolve our issues faster. Also, all types of the alerts can help all our company make important decisions to increase our efficiencies in our platform. LogicMonitor is our most useful tool in the company because we can fix many problems in our platform and have all our systems up and running for a long time. Our SLAs in LogicMonitor make a quick response for issues in our servers or services.

It doesn't appear to future proof us from a cost perspective.

LogicMonitor is great for small shops or MSPs. Their ability to autodiscover devices and datapoints is awesome. There is a measure of flexibility in LM's ability to monitor and for that reason we like to say, if it can be scripted, we can monitor it.

I wouldn't use it for monitoring websites, NPM, APM, or Configuration management. Its just not well-developed in these areas. Website monitoring doesn't support synthetic logins or transactions. They actually told us we had to write our own groovy code to do this. Why should we as a customer have to learn a new programming language to attempt to login to a website? Our networking team likes LM's ability to backup the config on the networking equipment globally, but there is no ability to push the config, which almost makes it pointless according to them. NPM with LM is like pulling hair, there is no consistency and the requirements we need to get to where it is stable is daunting where SolarWinds would work right off. LogicMonitor's ability to autodiscover data is another feature that is sorely undervalued. There is a great opportunity to capture specific equipment details that they do not do out of the box and also has to be scripted.

The best monitoring solution I have used compared to Solarwinds, Nimbus, HP SiteScope.
LogicMonitor is great for monitoring up/down status of network and system devices. The tool works great for anything we can throw at it, whether it be application/website/device monitoring. There are few scenarios where LogicMonitor is not the right choice as a monitoring platform; in fact I cannot think of any where LogicMonitor was the issue.

LogicMonitor is well suited for alerting on devices based of snmp data points. It currently is less suited for monitoring and reading syslogs, but they are working to rollout a new feature that would improve this. It is also useful for keeping config backups of many devices, via importing them through ssh.

Anyone looking for good value for solution.

LogicMonitor is great for network monitoring, providing in depth reports on all aspects of a firewall.

If you are using Auvik today you should switch to LogicMonitor, the pricing is about the same - actually cheaper if you are using Netflow from Auvik, and Logic Monitor provides so much more. If you don't need two-way communication with your ticketing system another solution may fit your needs.

LogicMonitor is perfectly suited for smaller IT teams that are required to monitor larger deployments. It provides a single pane of glass that gives you pretty much any information needed to maintain and monitor infrastructure and applications.It's ease to use interface and the ease of customizing datapoints to monitor makes it extremely useful. The one area where we found lacking was Netflow.

The data provided by LogicMonitor as an application guarantees the simplest way of a possible resolution to most issues derived by any environment.

The perfect scenario would be if a client called in reporting that they are experiencing performance issues on their server, LogicMonitor allows you to log onto the platform and check the device along with the sensors set up to check every element possible on the server.

This way, it gives clarity and assurance that the product is fit for purpose.

LogicMonitor is best suited for infrastructure monitoring. It is less appropriate for application monitoring

I am very happy with the product and don't have many negative comments to relay to a potential customer. I recommend the product for monitoring your network and traffic. There are tools that may be more specific for a certain project but for the price point, you get what you need and much more. I would happily purchase again.

I love having many collectors spread out all collecting data to send up to the cloud. Our previous platform was a single server in the data center. It was often overloaded and didn't notify us in a timely manor. The web based admin is great. Not having to install software to manage is great. Also being cloud based is great for checking alerts/devices when not at my desk. There is room for improvement with the RCA feature. Our old platform used to only send one notice when a site went down. With [LogicMonitor] the feature is not quite there yet to only tell me the router is down. Instead I get many emails that the router and all the gear behind it is down when we lose an mpls link.

It's super easy to deploy and administer. Very granular and robust alerting!
