Great infrastructure monitoring and alerting but geared towards larger organizations and bad pricing practices!

LogicMonitor is great for monitoring IT infrastructure and alerting about any issues. We used it as part of our managed services offered to our SMB customers. It can gather data from a wide range of products that are deployed within any IT environment. It also provides long-term data points for historical review and finding trends.

We manage a number of SMB clients throughout Southern California with mostly on prem infrastructure from very small environments with just basic networking and a server to deployments with several servers and shared storage which all needs to be properly monitored. We were monitoring up to 150 devices with LogicMonitor.

It's very easy to deploy and add devices to monitor, however the biggest time consuming factor is dialing in alert thresholds and constantly adjusting global values or individual devices based on lots of factors. A very annoying issue is when LogicMonitor updates datasources, it will overwrite any custom edits that were done to thresholds. So either you don't update or you have to redo all your previous work. Updating the data sources is a very cumbersome process that's lacking the most simple features like a search and sort. To claim there is no maintenance and configuration required is an understatement at the very least.

LogicMonitor has not replaced any other tools or lowered the need for them. It's simply a nice monitoring platform to be alerted of any issues immediately when it happens and before users call and complain. Usually we're already aware and fixing the problem by the time we get calls about issues. It does help to keep the time to resolution very low.
