LogicMonitor is the best thing you've never heard of
LogicMonitor is currently being used in IT to monitor our infrastructure, switch configuration and audits, and lastly log aggregation. This meets or exceeds the audit requirements for network backups, netflow, and server monitoring with the additional benefit of log aggregation. It has been an invaluable tool in accomplishing everything that we need, and continues to evolve.
- Network Configuration Audit/Backup - we're able to pull all of our configurations into LogicMonitor and compare them for changes, and even alert on these, thus increasing the thoroughness of our change management process.
- Infrastructure Monitoring is terrific, there are tons of metrics and items we can alert on, nothing goes unnoticed.
- Cloud Monitoring is something that is native in all environments, i.e. AWS, however, being multi-cloud it's nice to have everything aggregated under one product.
- I'm not a fan of how to delete/remove objects from LogicMonitor - it is a little cumbersome.
- When you onboard your enterprise in LogicMonitor, everything is thrown into a default "bucket"; this is annoying. I wish the tool would force you to create logical grouping from the beginning.
- LogicMonitor has allowed us to exceed an audit requirement.
- Cost is huge - it was slightly more expensive than what we previously had, however, it combined multiple tools into one, which doesn't require me invest a lot of man power into multiple services.
LogicMonitor blows Site24x7 out of the water, there is no comparison. Cost going from Site24x7 to LogicMonitor was around triple, however, Site24x7, at the time had no native Palo Alto support, network backups and charged per-interface licenses. After comparing "apples to apples" it just feel miserably short.
We are a mix of on-prem and multi-cloud. We have roughly 300 devices.
We have done very little to maintain LogicMonitor. Our previous solution was also hosted, while it required some maintenance it wasn't anything more than installed or upgrading an agent.
We have provided increased visibility into our network because it allowed us to full backup and alert on unexpected configuration changes on our network. We were also allowed to remove inadequate tools from our stack to make our security posture stronger, overall.

InfoSec & IT, between both groups we leverage LogicMonitor for our regulatory and compliance needs, audit logging, and overall system monitoring.

Most of the support skills required are minimal at least from getting the system stood up. Once we went live with LM, anyone with basic understanding of OpsGenie or PagerDuty the escalations were very simple and straight forward. Cloning and reusing built-in LogicModules are very easy to understand and edit. Overall, outside of our Engineering/InfoSec team they have adopted and adapted very well to LM.
- Compliance & Regulatory
- Audit Logging
- Server/Network Monitoring
- LM Logs was a new addition that we had not previously leveraged (early adopter)
- Service monitoring and restarting
- Page outs & escalations
Yes
Site24x7, they lacked feature sets we needed and as we added more 'add-on's' they became cost prohibitive for what we wanted to accomplish.
- Cloud Solutions
- Scalability
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
I do not believe we would have changed anything, overall, they fit the bill exactly as we needed. There are more otpions we haven't uncovered and it's always a pleasant surprise we have all the licensing we need to just enable it and begin using immediately.
I did not purchase an additional support
We have a NOC dashboard we wanted to display, within 15m support had walked me through the best and approved way to have this constantly displayed. We had the board up and running within our IT area shortly thereafter.
We deployed the LogicMonitor to our customers' big data enterprise production system, our SaaS solution, and our WW infrastructure. Our goal of deploying LogicMonitor was to consolidate all our monitor solutions to a single SaaS-based solution with a single view across all our customers' SaaS and WW infra. This allows us to be more proactive and improve the overall uptime of the systems.
- Easy to customize
- Fast UI
- Central monitoring system
- Easy to use
- Use more predictive solutions using AI and ML
- Logs
- Looks like an old UI
- Build in data sources for SQL, Microsoft
- DB monitoring
- Proactive with good uptime.
- We save hundreds of man-hours per year.
LogicMonitor was easier to customize per our needs. We could deploy it globally with some limitations we have (e.g. only one server per site can go outside the internet) and without a lot of external support.
We have hybrid infrastructure, on-prem owned by our customers, on-prem owned by our company, public cloud and private cloud. We monitor about 80 different locations and installations, with a total of about 450 servers, a mix of Windows, Linux, Ms SQL, Big Data platforms (Vertica and Hadoop).
The only maintenance you need to do is to import data sources or develop your own data sources. We didn't have any issue with the LogicMonitor back-end up-time or availability. The configuration is easy and self-exploration/customization. If you want to do advanced data sources, make sure you know how to write code, but Overall, this is an easy tool to use.
We moved from about 70 Microsoft System Center (SCOM) servers to a single central solution. We could reduce hundreds of man-hours using LogicMonitor.

LogicMonitor is an extensive tool that is a breeze to implement, use, and maintain.
It was deployed by the IT Infrastructure department and is now being expanded to application support teams and other specialized groups. We have deployed it extensively to monitor physical and virtual servers, critical workstations, production services, all network equipment, and some security appliances so far. We are now implementing it to monitor application servers and services, databases, and webservices for uptime and performance. I've also been able to leverage it to give me thorough visibility into my SDWAN performance.
- Alert rules
- Performance monitoring
- Escalation chains
- Netflow monitoring
- API integrations such as Meraki
- Network mapping
- Provides valuable alerts in a timely fashion
- Helps compare data points for quick troubleshooting
- Ease of implementation saved us PS cost and FTE
LogicMonitor was much easier to deploy than other tools we've used in the past. Its interface is intuitive which saves us time and cost on training. It is also much easier to maintain than other tools. The scheduled scans with their range of configuration items help automate the regular discovery of new or changed systems.
We are largely on-prem but dispersed across 20+ corporate sites and 3 different major industries. We have a blend of several manufacturers: Cisco, Meraki, Palo Alto, Aurba, Arista, Ubiquiti, APC, Eaton, VMWare, Windows Server, SQL, Oracle, Opera, InfoGenesis, RTP, HP, Dell, Lenovo, and many others. So far we are monitoring about 1200 devices and plan to add several hundred more in the next 6 months. Our locations are spread mostly across the intermountain west but also reach toward the midwest.
LogicMonitor's design was the easiest to implement and use that I have found so far. Spinning up the main environment in the cloud was super easy and the deployment of collectors was fast. Maintaining the collectors and the database is made very simple by LM's intuitive interface and pre-configured suite of features. On-prem tools seem to cause us more headaches than they are worth meaning we don't have the time to get all their value. LogicMonitor is allowing us to grow and refine this deployment as we have time all while it keeps running at the level where we left off.
We are working to replace a few different monitoring and alerting tools to save us OpEx and time. We are a lean IT shop so every hour spent keeping tools up and running and talking to each other keeps us from actually making progress toward and larger goals. LogicMonitor has allowed us to meet our baseline needs quickly which makes it easy to then start leveraging the advanced features like automation.

We had the same results, more or less, out of all the on-prem tools that we've used in the past. They were cumbersome to implement, a nightmare to maintain, and often not reliable enough to just be there and working when we needed them. The LogicMonitor team dragged us along during implementation. We are a small team with very little free time, and in spite of us not being very available the deployment was smooth and fast. In addition, the ongoing maintenance has required minimal time which means we can continually spend time growing how to use and tune the system to best meet our needs.

- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Usability was the most significant. The system needed to be easy to deploy, maintain and use otherwise we wouldn't have time for it and wouldn't use it. LogicMonitor passed all of those tests with flying colors and has proven to be a solid choice considering the small size of our operational teams.
No. We went in knowing that the tool had to make our lives easier almost immediately, made that clear to the LogicMonitor team, and asked them to do the bulk of the implementation work (which wasn't much anyway). That is the reality of how our team operates and if the tool couldn't meet those needs I wouldn't want it.
- Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
With how easy LogicMonitor was to install we never hit change management thresholds. We only had to deploy a few servers and spend time on a few integration points for SSO and Meraki Networks. Beyond that, the configuration has remained contained to LogicMonitor itself and we work on it as we have time and need.
- Early integrations with Meraki networks
- Network discovery customizations
- Structural organization inside the tool
No
I would say that LogicMonitor proactively provides exceptional support by providing a high-quality product from the start and proactively resolving issues and adding features such that by the time I might have an issue it has already been addressed for me. I have required less support from LogicMonitor than for any other tool that I operate regularly. When I do need to contact support they are prompt and helpful.
- Adding systems to be monitored
- Creating alert rules and escalation chains
- Managing users and permissions
- Managing some systems via API integration
- The initial design structure needs to be understood

My LogicMonitor Review
Our company uses LogicMonitor for all our sites globally. We have hundreds of devices being monitored with this solution. It does provide good monitoring and alerting for network devices, servers, and infrastructure overall. SMS/Cellphone call to notify about critical alerts is definitely a useful and powerful tool for our company.
- Monitoring
- Historical Overview/Usage
- Alerting
- Dashboard widgets can provide more customization
- Datasources for new software need to be updated usually with support help
- Ways to setup an alert or notification based on widgets triggers
- Avoiding disruptions is definitely key in our business.
- Makes troubleshooting easier
- Dashboards are great at displaying key information.
My vote is towards LogicMonitor monitoring and alerting. Splunk is a good Syslog tool but I don't see the number of features and capabilities you can achieve with LogicMonitor--especially infrastructure dashboards.
Applications might compare in alerting but are not even close in regards to monitoring and notifications via SMS/email and cellphone (IVR voice).
Applications might compare in alerting but are not even close in regards to monitoring and notifications via SMS/email and cellphone (IVR voice).
We have a hybrid environment in which LogicMonitor monitors hundreds across all our regions and markets. EMEA/AMER and APAC regions are fully covered with LogicMonitor, either cloud or on-premise devices (network or servers). We have followed the support with LogicMonitor's assistance on useful dashboards.
Our LogicMonitor implementation was quite fast, initially setting up a few servers and devices and then growing exponentially into hundreds. Maintaining LogicMonitor has been quite easy, usually manually not performing auto-discovery on subnets. I'm still learning a trick here and there related to adding devices in a more consistent and effective manner.
LogicMonitor has been able to help us with new dashboards that can present all types of critical information related to the network and servers. This real-time visibility is vital to reduce mean time to troubleshoot and provide a quick resolution in minutes. We can rely more on LogicMonitor than other apps that can assist with alerting.

Creating Dashboards, Kirby (Tech) helped me so much suggesting to use and import a custom report for Palo Alto and eventually another for Cisco Telephony. Great support from Kirby. He saved the day.
LogicMonitor is our network monitoring system for our private cloud. It monitors all components in our infrastructure and alerts to a centralized network operations center that remediates the issue at hand. Consumers of LogicMonitor include our Cloud Operations team, Developers, QA, DevOps and Customer Support. The business problem it addresses is to try to catch customer impacting issues and remediate them before the customer even knows about them.
- Huge inventory of pre-built templates for monitoring things from Power PDUs to blade servers.
- Robust groovy scripting language that would enable administrators to add monitoring that is specific to your company.
- Uptime, uptime, uptime, uptime =). In the close to four years that we have used LogicMonitor, they have had one or two incidents of downtime.
- Eat to set up. The collector install takes minutes to install. I literally added hundreds of hosts within a day.
- Missing robust support for some fundamental things like SNMP traps.
- Support team is going through some growing pains. The people and coverage is growing but product expertise and customer experience is degrading. I am sure they will fix this though.
- They are in the middle of transitioning to a new UI. It looks better but is a lot harder to use for people that have been on the old UI for a long time. Probably just an issue with legacy customers.
- Money saved on capital expenditure to buy servers for a monitoring system. All our logicmonitor collectors are on virtual machines.
- Money saved on operating expense for headcount to maintain a huge monitoring system. Very low headcount to maintain a SaaS solution.
We had Zabbix before using Logicmonitor. We ran into massive scalability issues when trying to go past 2000 devices.
We spent a lot of time researching and trying to architect the system to work. However, despite our efforts we still missed alerts and customers were impacted due to the failed monitoring.
We had no scaling issues at all with Logicmonitor. We have tripled in size since we started using Logicmonitor and it all has been totally painless.

The minimum requirement is to know monitoring technologies in general. (e.g. SNMP, MySQL, http etc). Adding basic monitoring is a entry level position. Adding new monitoring will require scripting abilities or advanced knowledge of the product.
- Service uptime monitoring
- Capacity management
- Inventory
- Synthetic transaction monitoring (e.g. create interaction that simulates user interactions)
- Business intelligence reporting
- Amazon Cloud monitoring
- Implemented in-house
Yes
We started with a couple of hosts first to see how it works and if it would have any impact to our servers. Once we confirmed no impact, we migrated in batches of 20-100.
Change management was a big part of the implementation and was well-handled
None. Change management is processed already in case and we deployed Logicmonitor with that in mind.
- Silly mistakes done by administrators. (e.g. mistyped SNMP community string)
No
There is no such thing with LogicMonitor. As a SaaS solution, support is backed into the cost of the product.
We added monitoring for RabbitMQ queue statistics. So the template would just poll the rabbitmq servers and get the stats for every single queue. After this monitoring was added, we noticed an increase in CPU utilization. Apparently polling 5000 queues from one rabbitmq server was taxing one cpu out of the server. When I brought this to support's attention, they were able to refactor the template and made it a lot lighter on the CPU. I thought that case showed excellent understanding and ability to solve problems.
- Adding hosts to the platform
- Adding groovy scripts for custom monitoring
- Adding collectors to expand capacity
- Clicking through the device tree structure when there are 20 host groups and 3000 nodes
Yes
I would say it is beta quality right now. The main webpage has single sign on but that does not work with the mobile interface. Mostly the mobile interface is designed to login to interface with current alerts.
Yes
90% of the time the release goes smoothly. Interaction with the customer can be greatly improved. (e.g. informing customer maintenance has been [done] and maintenance has ended). There was one one case where I found an issue after the release happened. There were a few cases where they found issues with the release and cancelled my rollout.
- Local cache of monitoring data. If network is down, the collector would cache the metrics for up to 30 minutes and will send it once the network is back up
- Website checks from collectors
