Product Details

What is LogicMonitor?

LM Envision is a SaaS-based unified observability platform that enables digital enterprises to adopt a cloud-ready operating model for meeting key business demands. LM Envision provides clarity across hybrid enterprise IT, brings diverse IT and development teams together to solve complex problems, and enables IT to innovate faster while improving operational efficiency to the critical IT services they deliver.

LM Envision aims to offer an alternative to the tool sprawl that exists in many organizations today. By leveraging a platform that enables collection, analysis, contextualization insights and exploration of observability data across traditional and modern environments, it helps IT teams to remove the blind spots that come from siloed monitoring tools. And it enables IT teams to rally around a platform that offers a “single source of truth” to quickly triage and resolve problems, leverage AIOps to spot performance trends, and shift their time and investment from operation tasks to work that drives innovation for the enterprise.

LogicMonitor is used by our organization to actively monitor servers and cloud infrastructure for both events and resource utilization. Our main objective is to use the tool to detect and alert IT staff of anomalies or other potential downtime that could impact our customers and employees. LogicMonitor is currently deployed to key infrastructures such as VM hosts, domain controllers, critical servers, and Azure resources such as VMs, Frontdoor, Kubernetes, etc.
  • Tunable accurate alerting
  • Simple to use interface and configuration
  • Very easy to deploy
  • Some events cannot be ignored during maintenance windows
LogicMonitor is perfect for the IT team that needs a monitoring and alerting tool that is easy to setup, deploy, configure and use. It is a robust, fully configurable event log and resource monitoring tool that can be custom configured to meet just about any need.

To monitor VMWare v Cloud Directory Property Source and Data Source, HPE StoreOne Logic Module Review. Overall, the main scope of the project is to implement the security reviews, User Access, Environment Import, Monitoring Enablement, Visualisation, and Reporting with the assistance of LogicMonitor to deploy the software. There have been instances in the past where it has taken up a lot of manual effort to discover where the issues lie. Sometimes this has taken weeks to identify and resolve. With LogicMonitor, we have managed to identify and resolve the same issues within 2 hours, which ultimately has saved the organisation time, effort, resource,s and money.
  • Onboarding Process
  • Technical Support
  • Project Planning
  • Transparency throughout the implementation
  • Calling to resolve queries rather than using email / mavenlink
I think LogicMonitor has helped our company throughout most, if not all, departments. It is specifically well suited for the technology department to monitor and identify issues to be resolved. However, this has also helped us internally look at our escalation processes and business continuity. We have recommended LogicMonitor to many of our clients who will now be using Logic Monitor as a service on our platform. This helps transparency and trust between us and our client also.

LogicMonitor helps understand the severity of alerts so that businesses can identify which problem to resolve first. Also, it's not just a monitoring tool but a whole package of required applications. So rather than purchasing different applications to do the job, LogicMonitor would be a one-stop solution for all.
  • It monitors all the devices in organization
  • Best part is the log analysis which is way ahead from it's competition
  • APM are also the best to use
  • LogicMonitor tells us the average collected data for the last minute, while this seems to be a good value to look on, sometimes it's not a good idea to get those data and analyse them.
  • It should show the threshold reached while monitoring and keep that data as static to make other understand from the graph that the surge happened in the last minute.
  • A good mobile application is what we need currently from LogicMonitor, as this is now the era of mobiles.
  • To access the data from mobiles, LogicMonitor should build a robust network and access control system so that organizations can provide access to employees without even thinking of breaching the system security.
I was working with LogicMonitor and I saw that LogicMonitor collects all the data and keep that to create a graph, There is an option where I can edit those "numbers" to recreate the graph by myself, which is a very good thing to do as sometime we need to edit the data, not because of inaccuracy, but because we know our system and it can sometimes send false alarms with wrong numbers.

Although this is a good thing to have in LogicMonitor, on the other hand, this becomes a very bad thing as someone can easily manipulate the data and present it to management, stating that this data has been collected by LogicMonitor.

This is an excellent tool, really intuitive, and with a lot of alerts that help us to track all possible issues in a server, like a network, windows, and SQL databases. In my opinion, this tool is really helpful because it covers all the important areas that we need to check and monitor from our clients.

For example, I daily have to track servers for our different clients, and the most common issues are related to failing jobs, offline databases, patching, and much more.

This tool helps us to do a more efficient and fastest job because we do not have to go to each server checking if there are any issues, because you can check all alerts and troubleshoot all the alerts raised by LogicMonitor. Also if the alert is critical, the Helpdesk team can escalate the alert with the corresponding team, in order to attend the issue as soon as possible and avoiding that our clients can have a big outage.

In short term, LogicMonitor is a tool that every company must have.
  • Network monitor works pretty well.
  • SQL Server alerts are accurate and detailed.
  • You can personalize and categorize all the different servers.
  • Training videos for SQL Server for example, some errors are difficult to solve.
  • When you disable an alert, it disappears for a short time, and then it is activated it comes again.
  • Sometimes it is needed to have a guide to solve the issues reported by LogicMonitor.
LogicMonitor is a great tool to monitor all your servers and can be personalized to check just what you need or want to monitor, for example, network, SQL databases, and the full server services. It is appropriate for all kinds of companies who bring Technology Services as we do or a company that wants to monitor its own servers, some alerts are really intuitive and can be solved in the fastest way, but if you do not have an IT team, some alerts are quite difficult to be resolved by a non-technical person.

We use LogicMonitor to provide visibility into our network and company assets for our network team. We had limited visibility, and this has made a big difference for our team.
  • Log monitoring
  • Exception reporting
  • Highly visible dashboards
  • Alerting
  • Better pricing
  • More flexibility in monitoring additional assets without overage expenses
LogicMonitor provides an easy-to-use plug-in that connects our assets to LogicMonitor's console. Dashboards are easy to view, and there are plenty to choose from. I would recommend additional support or service to make sure an organization has leveraged all of the connectors to their fullest capability.

LogicMonitor is being used in Zwift to monitor all our network assets, meeting room appliances and all our SaaS.
The idea is to change from a reactive support model to a pro-active support model. In order to archive this, we use all the function the software offers: custom alerts, SNMP monitoring, Windows log monitoring and so far the results are amazing: our response time to our internal customers are increasing. We plan to leverage more the usage among the next year.
  • Analysis
  • Alerting
  • Third-party integration
  • Workflows
LogicMonitor is very good to monitor the top plataforms, such as AWS, Azure, VMWare and another Saas, beside a huge range of network devices and operation system. No problem to that, plug and play.
LogicMonitor is not so good to monitor specific devices like iPads, Samsung tablets or Apple TVs - is not their focus, and if you are considering monitoring theses is better to use MDM.

We use LogicMonitor to monitor/alert the status of our client's network devices (routers, switches, firewalls, wireless APs, servers, etc.) We also use it to SSH into client network devices without having to remote into an internal network resource prior. LogicMonitor allows us to monitor almost any type of datapoint you would wish to monitor. It gives so much flexibility and allows for a mass amount of information all in one place. It also allows our business to generate user-friendly reports that we can forward to clients.
  • Generate client-facing reports
  • Flexibility on monitoring and alerting
  • Generate graphs from raw data
  • GUI can look overwhelming
  • Easier time browsing through folders
  • More support documents
Overall, LogicMonitor provides an abundant amount of resources for monitoring/alerting client devices. However, with all the flexibility that is given, it can be overwhelming with so much information at hand, and the GUI is not as user-friendly. You pretty much need to know what you are looking for and what the datasource means to understand what an alert is asking of you. You also need to be very well-versed in scripting since a lot of the datapoints you probably want to create a monitor or alert for will need to be customized.

We use LogicMonitor to monitor our cloud orchestrator products. We utilize the netflow, and the config saves portions that our other monitoring system was not.
  • Clean Interface
  • Easy to navigate
  • Robust API documentation
  • Integrates with ServiceNow well
  • Graphs are older
  • Could be easier to integrate graphs, widgets, and dashboards with a third-party website
  • The ServiceGraph Connector seems a bit narrow in scope
LogicMonitor does config saves and netflow out-of-the-box. LogicMonitor also makes cloud orchestrators easy to monitor. LogicMonitor has a lot of graphs and a lot of data.

We use LogicMonitor to monitor our own Internal Network equipment, Servers, etc., as well as our Managed customer environments. We recently deployed the product to replace a competing solution, after thorough testing of the product and comparisons to the incumbent. We have found LogicMonitor to be a much more advanced platform with way more options to customize how we monitor. We really like the dashboards and being able to see a quick status update for critical systems in a single pane of glass.
  • Monitoring and notifying on changes of network connections
  • Monitoring the physical health of servers
  • Monitoring uptime of web servers
  • Training material could be a bit more detailed
  • Perhaps a Dark Mode in Web Portal
  • Extra steps are required when setting Scheduled downtime on collectors (Have to drill down to settings, collector)
I am very impressed with the level of detail on alerts. I find this is very helpful for us to have a log of activities when an outage starts as well as progress and status updates when the status changes. I also really like the fact that a responder to alerts can actually acknowledge or set a scheduled downtime window by simply responding back to the alerts. Our needs for a Monitoring platform seem to be well met here. I can't think of specific examples where the product is less well-suited.

we use it to monitor our corp IT network as well as our venue technology stack. In our venues, it is important to be able to see problems as soon as they arise and this tool allows us to act quickly in conjunction with our other IT Ops tools to remediate the problem.
  • auto configuring alerts
  • consolidating information
  • being user friendly
  • making figuring out how to tune alerts easier
It is great for IT network operations but our DevOps team and their container-based infrastructure fid it to be too expensive for their needs when they can simply use open source tools like Grafana to get the job done.

Two uses:
For Observability predominately, for end of month Availability and SLA reporting and capacity reporting.
For incident management by way of troubleshooting, performance analysis and timestamping of alerts and events, especially from data from the Azure API.

Forecasting trends and anomaly detection is still in its early days but I foresee greater use of this functionality as we mature in our use of this tool.
  • Reporting of SLAs
  • Alerting and threshold adjustments for criticality of alerts
  • Graphs for past performance and anomaly detection
  • Trending for future performance and capacity planning
  • Make it simple
  • Ops Notes is not per resource
  • Certificate expiry tracking could be useful
  • Synthetic monitoring of websites
Good for server monitoring. Some work required to report on Clusters or failover groups. We found a solution to report on this, but it was long winded.
We felt this tool was not suited for Networking devices as the topology function was complex.
Montoring of websites and network appliances meets our needs.

LogicMonitor is one of the main monitoring tools used to monitor resource effectively. <br>LogicMonitor takes an agentless approach which cuts down on setup time and customer resources. LogicMonitor has helped overcome outdated monitoring solutions and as it is a SaaS approach thew updates and Maintenace is handles by LogicMonitor themselves saving on infrastructure costs to the business.
  • Agentless Monitoring
  • Has an API for automation
  • Easy to use
  • Dashboards and widgets
  • Not very per customer tenant
  • No Dark mode
LogicMonitor is very useful for the typical customer who isn't too mithered about where the data is stored, this makes security concerned customers harder to deploy as data not hosted locally can be an issue.

The way some of the settings work can cause annoyance such as the way things get updated.

LogicMonitor is really good at monitoring there is a vast wide range of supported device types and if that isn't enough you can make your own and even share them with the community/.

We use it for monitoring majority of our systems. The biggest advantage is fast adaptation compared to some other monitoring tools.
  • Easy to use thanks to the modern user interface.
  • Very little technical troubleshooting needed. Everything just works.
  • Monitored data is stored up to two years.
  • Mass editing.
  • No dark theme.
  • Mobile app could be better.
LogicMonitor is a perfect tool for sysadmins who don't want to spend any time on developing the monitoring tool, but rather just to use it. LogicMonitor is not a RMM tool so fixing the alerts will require some extra effort.

I work in Managed services and I have LogicMonitor deployed to over 30 customers with thousands of devices monitored. Deployment and scalability is premium and makes onboarding, monitoring, and incident reaction much simpler than many other platforms I have worked with. Further integrations using APIs make the platform incredibly versatile and provides ample opportunity for process and systems integrations.
  • API
  • Simplicity
  • Cloud based
  • Reporting
  • Learning curve
  • Price
LogicMonitors use of services for collection is powerful and dynamic. We are able to deploy collectors to small VMs, physical servers, or even on domain controllers, with out any concern for risk to existing services. The problems we run into are usually when a MSP client is low on compute resources and they dont want it running on an existing server.

We use LogicMonitor for infrastructure monitoring and alerting (Server infrastructure and VMs, Networking infrastructure, Websites). It is used by multiple groups within our IT department (Systems Engineers, Support Technicians, DevOps Engineers, Cybersecurity Engineers). The primary business problem that it addresses is ensuring systems uptime by generating alerts on metrics that could indicate issues/problems. One of the other primary uses is for metrics monitoring and reporting over time.
  • Very good 'out of the box' metrics and thresholds for alerting (often no fine-tuning needed).
  • LogicModules provide abilities to monitor a wide variety of systems/software.
  • Ability to write your own LogicModules or scripting to collect custom metrics.
  • Sometimes difficult to understand how/why alerts get generated due to the relationship between thresholds (sometimes defined at different levels), alert rules, and escalation chains.
  • Some aspects of the user interface/layout aren't always completely intuitive.
LogicMonitor is very well suited for overall infrastructure monitoring with the ability to collect metrics at multiple levels (physical resources, virtualized resources, and guest OS/Application levels). The alerting is pretty easy to set up with 'out of the box' alert thresholds and offers very granular options to customize to your needs.

Originally, we didn't have a monitoring solution that could really do everything we needed to, so we had to stitch it together with multiple solutions. LogicMonitor has allowed us to consolidate tools, reducing tech debt in these other tools and the capabilities have allowed us to reduce our alert volume by over 90%. We are also an MSP, so we also use it to replicate the efficiencies gained internally with our customers as well. More recently, we've been able to pull in data from other sources, O365, our phone system, Azure, etc... to build IT Operations dashboards that give us insights in one place rather than multiple different admin centers across all these products. This has allowed us to be proactive with customers and let the data of these dashboards tell a great story. Very pleased with the product, customer success team, product team, and LogicMonitor as a whole.
  • Improved IT Visibility
  • IT Operations Dashboards
  • Insights into the past and predicting the future
  • Reduce alert noise
  • I'm pleased with the direction of the company, no feedback for now.
LogicMonitor is great for organizations needing to get better visibility into their IT Operations and those needing to reduce workloads so that their IT teams can focus on more strategic projects.

As a Managed Service Provider, we use LogicMonitor as our primary infrastructure monitoring platform for ourselves internally and all of our managed services clients. We replaced 4-5 monitoring tools with just LogicMonitor. LogicMonitor is now our source of truth and as we call it, the single-pane-of-glass. We use LogicMonitor very heavily and have built out many custom data sources to monitor very specific items for different clients.
  • Monitor Infrastructure and Networking gear
  • Unified observability of all managed environments
  • Custom monitoring of company-specific data I.E if it's a book store you can monitor the number of books sold in a day/week/month via SQL(JDBC) queries.
  • Customer support is AMAZING! So fast and always has the answers
  • Topology mapping can be difficult to master
  • Topology mapping could include netflow data
  • Topology mapping could include throughput of the interfaces in the map
LogicMonitor is a fantastic tool for businesses of any size to capture up/down monitoring of the infrastructure. One of the best features of LogicMonitor is that it is an agentless solution, meaning you don't have to install an application on all servers, you just have to configure the LogicMonitor collectors which actually capture the data from all the resources at that site, or at a remote site but that doesn't follow best practice. I can't think of a scenario where LogicMonitor is less appropriate, it's a fantastic tool for a mom-and-pop shop or a large enterprise client with thousands of servers and thousands of locations.

LogicMonitor provides us with valuable insight into the operational status of the university's technology assets, whether those are on-premises network connectivity, hypervisors and servers or Cloud-delivered compute and storage. We try to leverage the observability LogicMonitor delivers to proactively ensure that technology-dependent business functions are supplied effectively. We rely on LogicMonitor's alerting capabilities to inform us when operations are not performing as expected.
  • LogicMonitor supports a wide range of technology products and services
  • LogicMonitor's reliability has been far higher, and its administrative burden far lower than previous generations of on-premises products that attempt to provide similar functionality
  • LogicMonitor has well-developed out-of-the-box alert thresholds and very effective and flexible notification delivery options
  • LogicMonitor itself is relatively easy to install (note: that does not mean installations need no planning!)
  • LogicMonitor iterates existing features and adds new functionality quickly so it can be hard to keep pace as a customer; particularly if your use case does not demand movement at the same pace.
  • It would be valuable if LogicMonitor was able to find a way to license its various capabilities (LM-Cloud, -Logs, -Services, -Config) that allowed them to be adopted with a more a la carte and/or transient term approach.
LogicMonitor is extremely effective in use-cases like ours where there is not a team dedicated to IT monitoring and alerting. We have so few of us that we simply can't afford to spend time "holding a product's hands" just to keep it working. LogicMonitor works reliably and effectively for us with minimal levels of administrative overhead. One scenario where LogicMonitor may not be appropriate would be where there is a large amount of on-premises connectivity and security infrastructure but not any on-premises storage infrastructure.

We use LogicMonitor for monitoring infrastructure. We use it to monitor devices' health, process uptime, and service availability. It helps us proactively monitor the infrastructure and alert when there is a potential interruption to services. It helps us to timely act upon service interruptions before it leads to a major outage and affects customers.
  • Monitor Infrastructure
  • Alert Routing
  • Easy to Use interface
  • Website Monitoring
  • Reporting
  • Dashboards
LogicMonitor is useful for proactively monitoring infrastructure, services, and processes. The best thing about LogicMonitor is that it doesn't install an agent in every device/system. It monitors through Collectors which collect data from devices periodically as configured. It can be integrated with external systems to handle alerts timely.

LogicMonitor is used to screen hundreds of locations for UP/DOWN, performance issues in infrastructure (servers, network), a misconfiguration in infrastructure, and related. It feeds a ticketing system (ConnectWise Manage in this case). It generates alerts on emergency conditions by email and text to the appropriate teams.
  • Alert on outages of power and Internet (site availability)
  • Alert on VMware and Microsoft server configuration or performance issues
  • Alert on website outages
  • Needs better out of the box alerting / templates
  • Generates too many repetitive tickets in ConnectWise Manage (working with their support to resolve)
  • Admin portal user interface could be simplified and improved
  • Takes time to fine tune / dial in the alerting
  • Mapping feature is poorly executed (concept is to build a real-time network map)
  • LogicMonitor is well suited for MSP or internal IT to monitor alerts on VMware, server, infrastructure, Internet, power, and website outages/performance issues/misconfiguration.
  • It can alert by email, TXT, and integration with common APIs.
  • It is reasonably priced. It is an effective NOC tool.
  • LogicMonitor is not well suited to organizations that will not invest the time to customize the alerts, dial in the settings, and of course, respond to the alerts. We have hundreds of sites and LogicMonitor is roughly 1/2 FTE (almost half of an employee's time).
  • LogicMonitor is not ideal for all cloud scenarios - it is driven but a collector that runs on a given Windows or Linux host. The collector is reliable, but it is "self-hosted" at each site. The central portal is SaaS cloud managed by LogicMonitor.
  • LogicMonitor is not a cybersecurity product, although it can help identify performance or misconfigurations.

We use LogicMonitor for both internal uses, within our Hosting and cloud environments. The two largest benefits we have seen are Time to deployment and Technical Support. Our company often acquires other companies. With LogicMonitor I can have them added to our monitoring solution literally within 1 day. If I do run into any issues, the 24x7 availability to get an engineer on chat is great and they resolve my issues 95% of the time without the need to escalate the case.
  • Rapid Deployment
  • Out of the box threasholds
  • Auto detecting Server/services that need to be monitored with little or no manual configuration
  • LMLogs is a new feature they are working on that lets you correlate event logs with alerts. Great idea but they still have a little ways to go to make it user-friendly.
  • Reporting needs some work. Especially around configuration reporting.
If you want to be able to roll out monitoring and do not want to manually have to specify each item to be monitored, wasting days or weeks then you really should look at LogicMonitor. On top of that, LogicMonitor is very customizable allowing you to create custom data sources to be monitored. LogicMonitor is not an APM, though I hear that is coming out very soon.

We used LogicMonitor to manage a customer's network as part of a managed services engagement. The client was in manufacturing and had eight global locations.
  • Generate Alerts to Support Team.
  • Support Multiple Types of Equipment.
  • Provided ability to verify status.
  • Required more senior technical knowledge to set up and manage.
  • Not friendly from an outside MSP business arrangement standpoint (scalability) of licenses, etc).
  • Lack of ability to integrate with common MSP tools (E.g. PSA, documentation platform).
The product did what it was was supposed to do. However, it is more suited to large enterprises with dedicated IT staff. We would not recommend the product to someone in the MSP space. We have found that tools like Auvik are easier to learn, most cost-effective, are friendly from a licensing standpoint, and integrate well with common tools like a PSA/RMM platform. We have found that Auvik was able to provide superior performance to LogicMonitor and a more attractive price point (as an MSP).
