Answered a question: Do you recommend LogicMonitor?
Most of the monitor tools are good but more important is the presentation of the dashboard and the explanation of the events.  If you don't have knowledge of the events, a simple example:  I have a 10 TB disk and only 19 % is free. Most of the tools will give an alert but…

You have a lot of tools available for container monitoring.  I use Instana and Turbonomic. Instana - because it is easy to install and gives me full visibility over the enterprise. Turbonomic - because it reduced a cloud cost and put the automation in. Regards,  Tjeerd

It depends on what you like to monitor.  You can use an APM tool - it can monitor transactions to the enduser. Or you can use a tool like riverbed and monitor with NetFlow the complete network and devices like user machines.

Yes, Dynatrace and AppDynamics are number 1 and 2.  I have worked for a long time with both of them.  Within IT everything is changing fast and I'm sure Instana with Turbonomics will be the next one. It is not only monitoring but as well financial visibility and automated…

It is depending on what you need to monitor. Do you need to monitor transactions, or code or the SQL software and parameter values If it is for transactions, you have many tools. The best ones are Instana, Dynatrace. Both are easy to install and more importantly easy to…
