    When looking for a monitoring tool, LogicMonitor was similar or better than all of them. We moved away from SolarWinds because of its inability to monitor other network environments and lack of a collector or probe type device that could collect remote data. PRTG was very …

    After switching from Solarwinds to LogicMonitor we would never go back. The higher price for LogicMonitor is well worth all the areas that this platform excels when compared to Solarwinds. The support is great, they are available directly through the web portal in a chat and I …

    SolarWinds had the big breach just as we left it. We loved how powerful it was, and how customizable - however, it is an ON-Prem tool, and as a growing MSP, that dynamic didn't and couldn't scale. We then moved to Auvik, which had the cleanest GUI and some neat features. That …

    LogicMonitor is the most stable and reliable monitoring solution I have worked with. Being a SaaS product is a leg up on most solutions like SolarWinds which does not offer a clear cloud offering. Would recommend LogicMonitor over all over products I have used to monitor …

    One of our main objectives while choosing a next gen monitoring platform was scalability in that regard we were not interested in legacy on prem solution and SAAS model was our preferred solution which supports rapid scalability when needed. Another important objective was to …

    LogicMonitor has simplified many of the menus and context compared to their competitors. Being cloud based, it is also very lean on local infrastructure.

    LogicMonitor was in place prior to my employment with the organization so that decision had already been made. As far as features LogicMonitor compares well with Solarwinds. I would say it is much easier to get support than Solarwinds and much easier from a licensing …

    We are only in a POC with LogicMonitor but what really makes this tool stand out in our opinion is its excellent discovery capabilities. I'd put this on a par with Dynatrace (which uses AI to discover and map out application and associated infrastructure) for sure. Of course, …

    Chose SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
    We have found the SaaS-based LogicMonitor to have many benefits over SolarWinds from an initial review. Especially around the inclusion (quickly) of any type of device, server, or end-user into the overall monitor/log to understand end-to-end traffic. The visual interface is …

    2. Single Product to offer Server, Database and …
