Best in class SaaS based IT monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
The automation of simple tasks such as creating onboarding scripts to ensure devices being added are done in a standardized method. LM automatically detects what specifically needs to be monitored for each device. If you choose that its not necessary or monitoring needs to be adjusted, the UI is simple enough to tweak or turn off completely.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be challenging at times to navigate. There is a learning curve to the platform. I've had issues with the alerts page, trying to view alerts on a smaller screen such as a laptop can be challenging. The provided view has limitations to it. I believe this is being fixed in future releases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used a lot of different monitoring solutions in my past and have spent over a year working with Logic Monitor. I can confidently say that nothing matches the capability or feature set that Logic Monitor provides. The platform has capabilities of monitoring cloud portals, on-prem infrastructure, internal applications and web sites, etc. I've always ran in to issues with monitoring Linux based systems until we discovered LM. Now we are able to monitor Linux OS devices with ease.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend starting with LogicMonitor's SkillJar to go through the LogicMonitor training. This will help learn the user interface and become more familiarized with the platform and how it functions. Always look to automate as many of admin processes as possible. Create custom groups which will help detect if something was onboarded incorrectly or having issues that you my want to know about. Lastly the out of box dashboards and gauges are helpful, but don't hesitate to seek assistance from LM support to create custom dashboards.
Improving Ops Team processes out of the box with endless possibilities after impementation
What do you like best about the product?
Bulletproof monitoring when implemented properly. Always accurate and timely. Making changes to the out of the box settings is easy enough and can be rolled out how you like in terms of thresholds, alerts, and communications. Very broad native monitoring vendor support. Others can be implements without much fuss. Support is very helpful and prompt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting is somewhat difficult to work with to get what you need. Most scripting options requires learning Groovy(might be a pro for some). Web UI can sometimes require refreshing for changes to show up which can be annoying. Somewhat expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a managed services IT staff and use Logic Monitor to support our clients and our own infrastructure. We sell monitoring as a service and Logic Monitor serves a critical role in that service. It helps us monitor everything from Network infrastructure to Windows/Linux Servers to Cloud Resources like AWS and Azure.
Great platform with continued growth and ability to continuously execute improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Fully customizable platform that we can cater to our individual needs in terms of reporting and alerting. They make it easy to work backward in an alert to not only find the root cause but adjust the thresholds and/or even remove alerts for benign errors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The incredible amount of customization for alert routing can be daunting at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to focus on business-critical problems and cut down on alert bloat.
Customizable Monitoring

great solution, always implementing news features.
Gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to monitor systems and receive alerts
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the alerts get a bit thick and require a fair amount of sifting to find the pertinent ones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to monitor various core infrastructure and use it as a part of our core monitoring systems for clients.
Love LogicMonitor
What do you like best about the product?
Accurate, definitive, noisy, detailed, easy to use once you get a feel of it.
It is a lot easier to navigate around and get accurate real-time information for alerts.
Threshold setting is easy enough to complete and amend when the need arises.
Reliability of the platform gives not only us as technicians assurance but clients also to cover all aspects and elements are covered.
The benefit of using LogicMonitor is the ease of integration into ServiceNow, as alerts generated come in and auto-close if the alert is no longer active.
Default threshold settings can easily be amended to accommodate the performance of the server, as it may be under a heavy workload.
Azure monitoring is well covered under LogicMonitor also which is a weak element across other monitoring platforms.
I defiantly would recommend this product to friends and other professional connections.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much, it’s a good product in my view.
If there was anything to dislike, the only minor thing I would say is the dashboard could be a little tidier.
Overall other than that, there is nothing I dislike about LogicMonitor.
Reporting could be a little easier to generate.

LogicMonitor: SaaS Monitoring for a small business
What do you like best about the product?
LogicMonitor's Documentation and support a top-tier. We had occasion to use them to solve some edge-case situations, and they were willing to understand what we wanted to do and work through their back-end channels to get answers that the documentation couldn't provide. The API is complete, we could not find anything we needed to do but could not.
Detailed performance data was available in reasonable accuracy ( I don't recall exactly what it was, but we found it adequate). It was easy and impressively fast to drill into any of the data available.
Interaction with the graphs, grouped by Dashboards, is highly customizable. There is enough automation to make the task tolerable and produce nice results.
The datapoint collection is super flexible and I especially appreciated the ability to write scripts to collect data. It can take a little manipulation to get into the format LM wants, but there are good examples and goo documentation to guide you through the process. We were able to track and create alerts that fired when there were problems (very few false-positives); I think that's a testimony to the flexibility. I was able to write, from scratch, accurate kafka monitoring by integrating a metrics collection tool for kafka called burrow with LogicMonitor with a high degree of success in detecting issues early (such as producer/consumer deviations).
It integrates well with services such as PageDuty, which we used for some aspects of our product. Other services used the adequate internal alerting system.
Overall, the product was found to be accessible by Operations and Engineering alike; and while every tool that pages someone at 3am gets cast a little shade, LogicMonitor was a great solution for us.

What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can be slow and they will only keep a years worth of performance data. Setting up new datapoints was tedious. For example, to track the disk space utilization across a 100+ node Hadoop cluster, it was necessary to create a datapoint for each disk and sum that data together in the graph; which meant there was a manual process of creating a data point for each node in the cluster in the graph. Not ideal. The graph displays can be a little hard to use when there are lots of datapoints on them, it's not as easy it could be to filter out a single line.
Graphs have odd and odd interface for highlighting or deselecting lines. The scale of the graphs was not always appropriate for the given dynamic modifications (for example, deselecting all the datapoints over 90%, leaving just the datapoints under 10% would still keep the graph Y-axis scale at 0 to 100 instead of 0-10)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a monitoring solution that did not require a full-time position to manage, nor additional resources at our small-ish datacenter. Our philosophy is that we focus on our business, so we need something else to worry about monitoring and alerting on our critical business systems.
Of course, the primary concern being addressed was monitoring that services were working as expected. Expectations are going to be different for every service, every product, so LogicMonitor was engaged as a way to simply define our expectations and then compare them to reality.
It was also used to make scalability decisions. For example, we know our business is cyclical, but we didn't always know how large the cycles would be. LogicMonitor gave us business and traffic insights to help make scalability decisions both for customer facing services and interfaces as well as for backend services such as Hadoop or Kafka both of which were critical to the success of our product.
Monitoring and alerting was well tuned with minimal focus. We were able to maintain our uptime and troubleshoot issues by coordinating the data we collected to its probable cause. Since we were a smaller company, many people had many hats to wear, so making the monitoring and alerting hat a small one allowed us to focus on developing our product.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the quality of the documentation and support staff. They are absolutely incredible. We considered building out our own monitoring based on Prometheus -- this would have given us infinite flexibility, but at a significant cost: having to dedicate even one engineer to developing interfaces and desigining a large-scale system could far outweigh the cost of asking LogicMonitor to do that instead.
Consider that many of the data collection modules are freely available and are of very high quality both in terms of usefullness and completeness. Consider too that having website availablity testing in the same place as internal metrics monitoring makes responding to and watching for issues a little easier.
