Overall Satisfaction with LogicMonitor

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Generate Alerts to Support Team.
Support Multiple Types of Equipment.
Provided ability to verify status.

Cons

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).

Return on Investment

We ended up moving to a different product.
Leaving the platform actually was more cost effective for us as an MSP.

Alternatives Considered

Auvik

We used LogicMonitor and ended up switching to Auvik for a variety of price, performance, and integration reasons. LogicMonitor did not suit us as an MSP.

Infrastructure

We have managed about 100 devices in a client's multi-location network with numerous types of devices (and for that it was fine). We have since moved to Auvik and are managing many more.

We found that it required more advanced knowledge of technical skills and was not at all friendly to less technical resources that might occasionally have been needed to get specific client information. We found Auvik was stronger in that area and went in that direction long-term.

Automation

No, we did not retire tools with it. We actually retired LogicMonitor and went with a different platform that provided better integration with other tools.

Likelihood to Recommend

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).

It worked OK but was not well suited for an MSP
