Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

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
4.8
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline boosts productivity and efficiency through reduced troubleshooting, improved security visibility, and optimized resource management.
Sentiment score
7.3
LogicMonitor enhanced efficiency and productivity by reducing costs, false alerts, and downtime, improving service quality and decision-making.
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
5.4
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline's technical support is generally praised, though outsourced support presents challenges for some users.
Sentiment score
7.7
LogicMonitor support is efficient and knowledgeable, offering 24/7 service with varied levels, including premium, but faces regional service differences.
The technical support by Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is good because it has a local architect in my area.
Customer support is on point and very well trained.
Customer support is good, but escalations within customer support are not so good.
The product mostly just works without issues.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.5
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline excels in scalability, especially in cloud environments, accommodating large deployments with ease and flexibility.
Sentiment score
7.8
LogicMonitor ensures efficient scaling and growth support with smooth onboarding, automation, despite some limitations in widgets and data collection.
They are not licensed, so you could deploy one collector or 1,000 collectors for the same cost.
LogicMonitor scales well
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline delivers stable, reliable performance in data centers, with high ratings despite minor issues in older systems.
Sentiment score
8.2
LogicMonitor is praised for its stability, minimal outages, seamless operation, proactive updates, and strong performance across infrastructures.
It is very stable. I have never seen LogicMonitor itself go down.
 

Room For Improvement

Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline needs security enhancements, improved GUI, better performance, cloud support, and easier setup and hardware handling.
Users seek enhanced logic, customization, automation, mobile experiences, integration, deployment clarity, and logging in LogicMonitor.
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.
LogicMonitor can be improved by having more meetings with customers to find out what they really need.
 

Setup Cost

Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline is often seen as expensive, but pricing perceptions vary based on needs and roles.
LogicMonitor provides affordable enterprise pricing based on devices, though cloud licensing can be confusing and costly for large deployments.
I experienced no issues with pricing, setup cost, and licensing; it was very transparent, and the licensing model is very clear and easy to understand.
 

Valuable Features

Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline improves network visibility, performance, and security through advanced traffic analysis, integration, and process efficiencies.
LogicMonitor excels in customizable dashboards, flexible data monitoring, effective alerts, reporting, and integration, offering comprehensive control and ease of use.
The Pipeline's Comprehensive Insights into data flows have helped improve operational efficiency and security.
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.
LogicMonitor has expanded our view of our systems and has reduced our mean time to resolution, as now engineers that work on specific issues are able to very quickly identify what the cause is.
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.

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.
