We installed LogicMonitor as a SaaS-based solution, and we have an agentless approach. We are monitoring the overall interface and not just the network devices. I am looking after the network devices only.

A feature-packed solution with excellent stability and a notification system
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
LogicMonitor is good for getting a full view of your topologies. They have LiveMaps, which give you a visual representation of your infrastructure. They also have a great notification system. If something goes wrong, you'll be automatically notified. LogicMonitor also integrates with ServiceNow, so you can easily get alerts in those systems.
Another thing I like about LogicMonitor is their dependency metrics. This means that if one device goes down, you won't get alerts for other devices that depend on it. This helps you to quickly identify and resolve problems.
Overall, I think LogicMonitor has a lot of great features. However, I do have some concerns about the deployment process. It's not as straightforward as it could be. Additionally, some of the workflow automation features require scripting knowledge, which can be a barrier for some users.
What needs improvement?
LogicMonitor has good features, but the ease of use is a little bit confusing. Additionally, we are looking for workflow automation, which is a little bit tricky for LogicMonitor. But we are still exploring more and do not have detailed training in LogicMonitor.
Moreover, the deployment process needs improvement. The thing is the deployment or whatever the standard deployment should be implemented here. That is not fine-tuning.
In my personal opinion, for workflow automation and other stuff, we have Python or scripting knowledge, and that part is very tricky. Whenever we try to call the service or the LogicMonitor team, and we open a ticket, it is chargeable.
In future releases, we would like to see a configuration backup manager. A feature that automatically backups the device configuration will help us. So, instead of going with another third-party tool, this will be good.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using the product for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is very good. We have a SaaS-based solution and a cloud-based solution. We never experienced any kind of downtime from them. So, that part is very good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It will be good because whatever knowledge I have with LogicMonitor is limited. I have not been able to fully explore LogicMonitor because of the scripting and other overflow automation concepts. Even courses are not available on working data. So, basically, working on the courses is available for free. I really didn't deep-dive into LogicMonitor.
In our organization, the regional office, we have two major regional offices in the USA, Kansas City, and Mumbai. So, Mumbai's count is 2,000, and Kansas City's is 4,000.
Almost all use LogicMonitor, which would include branch offices as well. So, more than 100 branch offices. We are monitoring one key code universal, and the rest of the branches have separate networks and accesses.
I would rate the scalability of this solution an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is very good. But the only thing is that if you have some issues with the particular script writing and some customized reports, we have to open the case with them, and that is chargeable. That is what the subscription part is, and what the agreement between our organization and LogicMonitor is, I don’t know. Our dedicated SME handles it in the USA office.
So, if we want to open a case with them, we go to our SME, and they will try to resolve the issue. If not, then it will be chargeable. Last time, we raised some queries, and my management told me that if the query is not solved, open a case, and it will be chargeable.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have been working with SolarWinds for more than four years. So, I can talk about SolarWinds. SolarWinds is good for network monitoring. It has reporting of topology diagrams and all this stuff that we can get over there. Also, a bandwidth analyzer is available, which is a very handy tool. There is also configuration management, which is like an add-on basis. So that is good. But with the recent incident with SolarWinds, it is no more secure. If you wanted an on-premises solution, then probably go with ManageEngine or SolarWinds. But when looking for cloud-based, we thought LogicMonitor will be good for us. We only have to check and gain some knowledge on whatever they provide, the knowledge portal or training. So, that is part training for us.
How was the initial setup?
The team in the USA or the partner who implemented LogicMonitor earlier is not in the proper shape of architecture or deployment. So, it's got some issues with the network device group and servers. So, all are messed up. We decided to fine-tune the hardening of this LogicMonitor.
Personally, the way we implement it here. I feel it is not easy to use.
The solution is deployed on the cloud.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would rate the pricing for LogicMonitor a six or seven out of ten, where one being cheap and ten being expensive.
What other advice do I have?
The thing is that some features are there, but we have, like, incompetency to add up that feature. So, the product is feature-packed. But some of the features we have to explore still.
Overall, I would rate LogicMonitor an eight out of ten.
