Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.9
Azure Monitor offers cost-effectiveness and proactive visibility, with pay-as-you-go flexibility and potential savings despite mixed ROI feedback.
Sentiment score
7.7
Organizations using LogicMonitor saved costs, reduced false alerts, improved efficiency, and enhanced visibility, preventing outages and boosting customer satisfaction.
Azure Monitor helps prevent impacts on their system.
The return is more of value and savings in preventing costly downtime, making the savings of about $60,000 which we would have lost without LogicMonitor, and in IT staff efficiency, we save approximately 15 hours a week.
I can definitely notice a difference in our posture, uptime, and ability to solve problems and resolve outages much quicker since we have had LogicMonitor in place.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.2
Azure Monitor support is generally positive, with high-priority users obtaining quicker responses, while others report variable experiences.
Sentiment score
7.8
LogicMonitor's customer service is praised for its quick, knowledgeable responses, with a highly regarded chat feature connecting users to engineers.
However, the second-line support is good.
Users end up getting no resolution from their team because they're outsourced vendors, and they don't have deeper expertise over any of the products they are referring to.
I would rate the support for Azure Monitor as a seven.
Customer support is on point and very well trained.
The product mostly just works without issues.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Azure Monitor efficiently scales across industries, integrating well with services, and reliably supports growing infrastructure and application needs.
Sentiment score
7.9
LogicMonitor provides scalable, cloud-based monitoring for diverse users, efficiently managing extensive infrastructures with flexibility and adaptability.
Azure Monitor is very scalable; there are no issues with scalability for different kinds of businesses.
They are not licensed, so you could deploy one collector or 1,000 collectors for the same cost.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
Azure Monitor is stable and reliable with high ratings, but could improve in alerting compared to competitors.
Sentiment score
8.2
LogicMonitor is praised for reliable performance, minimal outages, automatic updates, responsive alerts, and consistent availability with little maintenance.
Azure Monitor is working fine, yet I face a costing issue as if there are a lot of logs collected in the workspace or in the center, it becomes very costly.
It is very stable. I have never seen LogicMonitor itself go down.
 

Room For Improvement

Azure Monitor requires better integration, user experience, automation, alerting, support, cost clarity, and improved interface and performance monitoring.
LogicMonitor challenges include enhancing alarm suppression, reporting, deployment, visualization, cloud monitoring, and desire for flexible alerts and dashboards.
The challenges with Azure Monitor are that it's initially complex to set up because you need multiple components.
If Azure Monitor can independently add one gigabyte, two gigabytes, or five gigabytes at least to log storage, I can fix the logs without syncing with Log Analytics Workspace and Sentinel.
The cost skyrockets once you start using it, and there are complaints that the actual cost of the Kubernetes cluster was less than the cost they were incurring for Azure Monitor.
If LogicMonitor looks into going beyond the topology-based correlation to include AI that can group related alerts from different parts of the stack into a single probable cause incident, that will significantly improve the system.
The container monitoring seems to be really behind compared to some bespoke cloud-native monitoring solutions that are designed around Kubernetes, containers, and ephemeral environments.
 

Setup Cost

Azure Monitor's flexible pricing is generally competitive, but costs can rise due to storage and integration needs.
LogicMonitor provides competitive pricing and strong value with scalability and premium features, though potentially costly for smaller organizations.
When I export logs into the application, workspace, log analytic workspace, and into Sentinel to read reports, I need to add storage, which increases the cost.
 

Valuable Features

Azure Monitor provides seamless integration, robust security, dynamic alerting, and efficient reporting, enhancing user satisfaction with scalability and cost-effectiveness.
LogicMonitor offers customizable dashboards, flexible alerting, integration, automation, and proactive alerts for enhanced system monitoring and insights.
The alerting features definitely help in reducing operational downtime for my customers by allowing us to get notifications in advance and take active actions.
Resource monitoring is essential.
The ease of access in Azure is significant because it's native to the platform and easy to integrate.
The dynamic alerting and root cause analysis have helped us fix issues before they cause a full-blown outage or degrade performance for end users.
I wrote a custom event source which queries the API periodically. It looks for new entries into our cage, and if it finds one, it creates a LogicMonitor alert that gets delivered to all proper stakeholders.

Featured Reviews

Muhammad Usman Khawar - PeerSpot reviewer
Native integration simplifies monitoring but documentation and cost improvements are needed
The ease of access in Azure is significant since it's native to the platform and easy to integrate. It has no maintenance overhead, and users don't have to navigate to another portal to get their desired result. It's the handiness that it has, rather than the features. The interpretation from the logs and injection requires custom runbooks. While it's complex, many services provide native insights and workbooks. It does the basic job quite efficiently. They added new kinds of metrics with more integrations to send out metrics. They have even added support for third-party tools that can be integrated. Azure Monitor is working on improvements and becoming more mature. Azure Monitor is stable and scalable. Azure Monitor is evolving with new workbooks and dashboards.
Maxwell Miya - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved service reliability and reduced downtime by providing full visibility into infrastructure
I wish the user interface would be customizable to allow users to create personal context-specific workspaces to hide irrelevant data, rather than trying to have a one-size-fits-all interface. This would go a long way, as would introducing a usage-based pricing model for data ingestion, per GB of metrics or logs alongside a device-based model similar to New Relic, which would be more attractive for cloud-native companies with dynamic infrastructure. While dynamic alerting is great, the overall alerting system can be complex to configure. If LogicMonitor looks into going beyond the topology-based correlation to include AI that can group related alerts from different parts of the stack into a single probable cause incident, that will significantly improve the system.
