LogicMonitor

We have used other tools for our infra monitoring specifically for Vmware cluster where we were surprised with the number of sensor count usage for each component on a resource. With LogicMonitor, one sensor per host was able to pull/monitor all the components on the hosts including VM's which was a huge saving.

LogicMonitor is well suited if someone is looking for one complete solution for all types of infrastructure such as Networks, Servers (Windows, Linux), Storage, VMWare, Logs, Website and Cloud Services Monitoring.
It also provide out of the box integration with Service Now and hence this makes ticketing easy. Dashboard and Reports are also wonderful.

LogicMonitor is a great and easy to use monitoring software. It is not a heavy utilization product or an agent based product which allows you to isolate it from the environment. It is great for basic monitoring. Because it can leverage API's, it can read Active Directory as well as configs on switches.

LogicMonitor is a relatively easy platform to implement in any company; it does not require the supervision of agents at the endpoints of its implementation; it has support that will help you in every detail you need. It is very suitable for large and medium environments; you can monitor the most modern computer systems with very flexible and complete tools and options.

LogicMonitor is great at monitoring and providing an easily digestible view of our entire network. Their ability to monitor and provide traffic analysis for various device vendors made it a separator from its competition. The task that we couldn't do with LM was the ability to push configurations to certain devices, it was more for monitoring and quickly making business decisions on the data it gathered.

LogicMonitor has exceeded our needs over the past 7 years. Now that the system is finely tuned, alert fatigue has declined and my team can better focus on what actually matters.

This product would be good for a team that can spend a large amount of time prepping it and fine tuning it. Using this in replacement of a NOC is a bit cumbersome as it needs a lot of care to get it working fully. The Azure integration is very well done and simple to get started.

One unified monitoring tool for complete infrastructure monitoring solution. It's good due to agentless monitoring feature so no need to install client servers/devices. It works based on collectors so we just need take care of collectors. It has functionality of both monitoring data and reporting data thus the license cost is less compare to other competitors.

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.

LogicMonitor is ideal for a large-scale enterprise environment to help justify the spending.

LogicMonitor is the best monitoring platform I've used. We transitioned from WhatsUpGold and SolarWinds. We are very happy with the LogicMonitor platform.

LogicMonitor has met our needs and we were able to replace SolarWinds in our environment.

The main feature product still lacks to compete fully with a SolarWinds is push of config changes. This is not a deal-breaker but would be of great help. The dashboards and alerting can be very detailed and flood you or give you the simple alerts you are looking for.

I believe that LogicMonitor is well suited for monitoring virtual environments. You can add an entire cluster and virtual servers. This allows you to be able to look at issues from two different perspectives, overall virtual environment level, and more specific to the servers themselves. We also utilize the "Multi-Ping" functionality from the collector. This helps because you can add an instance to make sure that a device is up, even when you are not able to add the device (ie. third-party devices that you do not have access to, but can ping on your network).

LogicMonitor is great for AWS and Azure resources. You're able to pull info from each respective API.

For our environment, we use Windows and poll the bulk of our resources with WMI. We were specifically looking for Memory, CPU, Disk space, and last reboot time. LogicMonitor gets all this data that was a requirement for our solution. We're just scratching the surface on what LogicMonitor can poll for.

Now that we are capturing all these metrics, we're able to get useful alerts for those metrics. I found roughly 50 issues within our environment that simply went unnoticed because we were not looking for it. But LogicMonitor found the issues, and brought it up to our attention.

We're also able to see live metrics on our systems. We've already made data backed changes to increase our workflow on some of our applications.

It's great if you need a pretty robust monitoring system. I actually haven't used any other monitoring applications, so I have little to compare it to, but I think that says something. I don't think it would be great in a little mom and pop shop with limited manpower. I just think it would take too long to set up and maintain if there are bigger fish to fry. Medium-large enterprises would be great.

Basic monitoring of servers and services has served us well. These are the basic availability monitoring of CPU, memory, disk, and connectivity. More advanced Microsoft Services from on-prem ADDS to Azure AD Health have not been very good or UCS Hardware or even the awareness of Hyper-V Clusters. Vcenter monitoring could be improved around instance monitoring.

LogicMonitor provides a very strong platform that can be customized for nearly every possible scenario.

Automation and cloud-based monitoring can be very useful. We can set up all kinds of tests from each office and from AWS to test network performance and detect issues.

Hard to think where it is not appropriate. It may be that smaller environments would not get as much for the cost. We like how many different platforms we can monitor out of the box with little additional infrastructure to deploy and be up in less than me hour.

Performance monitoring, not just real-time but also historical. It is very convenient to drill down into the performance graphs from a few days or weeks ago.

It is very helpful when trying to see where the bottlenecks are in your applications. When you are hitting a lot of users for your application and you want to see which servers to see are failing the hardest, LogicMonitor can show you which part such as the CPU is failing or the memory needs to be increased.

LogicMonitor is well suited for a high level catch all monitoring tool. It presents basic server perfmon data in an intuitive and useful format. It is web based which is very nice for accessibility throughout the company. It is less useful for more in depth monitoring such as application monitoring or more detailed database level metrics. We still have to maintain a separate SQL database monitoring tool to get to the level of monitoring we need there.

LogicMonior is a perfect fit to our needs. It's easy to use, can monitor our global hybrid infrastructure. Using customized data sources, we can monitor up to the application level and see the correlation between different components after we developed our own dashboard which was easy to use. We can monitor our end to end ETL process, performance and the overall health of our big data solution.

When it comes to monitoring and metrics its not so easy to think of where LogicMonitor would be less appropriate. There is logging which LogicMonitor is trying to make up ground in but isn't ready for prime time and there is application monitoring but I don't know enough about that aspect to speak intelligibly about it. I do think that LogicMonitor could be adapted to handle most application monitoring just due to the flexibility offered by the ability to create just about any data source but it would probably be a lot of work compared to buying one specifically suited for that task. LogicMonitor in my view is very well suited to monitor infrastructure: Operating Systems/hardware/Cloud services in either the cloud or on-prem. Memory, disk, power, temperature, CPU. Out of the box, it can handle thousands of devices. We currently have it configured to automatically scan networks for devices, determine what they are, configure them based on their name, put them in their appropriate logic monitor folder structure, and start collecting data. There is really nothing we have to do and it was fairly easy to configure with the property sources that LogicMonitor offers.
