Room For Improvement

Cisco Intersight needs improved migration, integration, usability, automation, and cost-effectiveness, with emphasis on stability and on-premise features.

Users seek improved alert control, easier setup, enhanced customization, robust security, AI features, and better pricing in LogicMonitor.

For how Cisco Intersight can be improved, I focus on two points: visual policies, which I believe is the most important improvement, and the possibility to work with local labs in a local infrastructure.

Javier Terán

Setup Cost

Cisco Intersight offers competitive pricing with free and paid tiers, offset by high initial costs and complex pricing structures.

LogicMonitor's premium pricing offers good value for enterprises, with flexible licensing but can be costly for smaller setups.

The biggest consideration is ensuring that the additional functionality and time saving justify the ongoing licensing expenses.

reviewer2922069

Software Developer

The pricing is fair and reasonable, particularly for enterprises.

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.

Maxwell Miya

IT Infrastructure Engineer at Ethical Trade SErvices Africa

Our SLAs and SLOs were averaging about 10 to 15 failed SLAs and SLOs that were over the time allotted to get those resolved, and those are now down to about two to three per week.

John Knopick

Observability Engineer at Universal Music Group

When talking about the statistics, it has helped us reduce downtime to about 40 to 50% because without LogicMonitor, we used to know about the downtime only when the application was actually down.

Centralized monitoring has improved visibility and standardizes profiles across multiple sites

One area where Cisco Intersight could be improved is making the interface and troubleshooting workflows more intuitive, especially for users who do not work with the platform every day. Sometimes finding the exact information needed or understanding certain alerts can require navigating to multiple locations. I would also appreciate more actionable recommendations alongside alerts rather than just identifying an issue and leaving the next step entirely to me. Overall, the functionality is strong, but improving usability and making troubleshooting more straightforward would enhance the everyday experience. Apart from usability, Cisco Intersight could benefit from smoother integration with third-party monitoring and IT management tools. Having alerts, performance data, and infrastructure information flow more seamlessly between platforms would reduce the need to switch between different systems. Performance-wise, keeping dashboards responsive when managing larger environments would also be important. I would also like to see more practical documentation, particularly step-by-step troubleshooting guides and real-world examples for automation workflows. These improvements would make the platform more accessible and efficient for everyday operations for new and existing users. Smoother integration with third-party monitoring and IT management tools would allow alerts, performance data, and infrastructure information to flow more seamlessly between platforms. These improvements, including usability enhancements, would make the platform more accessible and efficient for new and existing users.

Monitoring has reduced downtime and now enables proactive alerts across cloud workloads

Site Reliability Engineer at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees

When it comes to the improvement of LogicMonitor, I think there are a few points that can be improved. The first one is alert tuning, which takes time. It requires effort when trying to understand it for the first time. The defaults do not always match our workload patterns, so I have to adjust the thresholds to reduce noise and avoid alert fatigue. While the dashboards are solid, I sometimes wish that the UI was a bit more intuitive when drilling down quickly during an incident. There are many options and finding the exact view where I can identify the exact problem takes a few extra clicks. When an alert comes and I click on a LogicMonitor alert, it takes time to understand what the alert actually is and to go through the data points. The alert page specifically could be better. The alert tuning part can also be made more simple. The first area that could be better is alert clarity and routing. Sometimes alerts do not include enough immediate context, so I still have to spend a few minutes correlating data across views. Adding more actionable details directly in the alert would make the response even faster. LogicMonitor sometimes gives false alerts as well. For example, if an EC2 instance is down, it will not determine whether the EC2 instance has been deliberately turned off or if it is actually not responding. At that time, it will give false alerts. The clearing of alerts is also an issue. Once an issue is fixed, the alert should be cleared, but it takes a little time for that alert to be cleared. Another improvement that would be helpful is simpler customization for complex dashboards. It is powerful, but building highly tailored dashboards, especially across multiple environments, can feel heavy and time-consuming. I would also appreciate a stronger out-of-the-box AWS correlation, such as automatically grouping related issues across EC2, EBS, and ALBs in a way that reads as a single incident story. This would reduce the mental overhead during outages. Grouping incidents together, such as all the EC2 alerts, all the EBS alerts, or all the load balancer alerts would be beneficial. Overall, none of these are blockers, just some improving areas. There could be smarter anomaly detection out of the box that can catch unusual but important behavior without manual tuning of every threshold. Better tagging and dynamic grouping for EC2 instances would also be helpful. Cleaner alert de-duplication so a single underlying issue does not generate multiple redundant alerts would improve the system. More guided root cause workflows would be beneficial, such as providing the most likely causes based on correlated metrics. Faster search navigation across devices, dashboards, and alerts during incidents would also improve the platform.
