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
7.3
LogicMonitor enhanced efficiency and productivity by reducing costs, false alerts, and downtime, improving service quality and decision-making.
Sentiment score
6.5
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE boosts efficiency by reducing troubleshooting time, enhancing visibility, and improving user satisfaction despite licensing challenges.
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
7.7
LogicMonitor support is efficient and knowledgeable, offering 24/7 service with varied levels, including premium, but faces regional service differences.
Sentiment score
6.2
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE support is valued for expertise but faces mixed feedback on response times and engineer availability.
Customer support is on point and very well trained.
The product mostly just works without issues.
Customer support is good, but escalations within customer support are not so good.
They need to work on their response time and overall competence.
The distributor's support is rated an eight out of ten, indicating room for improvement in SLA handling.
I am actually happy with technical support from NETSCOUT.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
LogicMonitor ensures efficient scaling and growth support with smooth onboarding, automation, despite some limitations in widgets and data collection.
Sentiment score
7.9
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE efficiently scales for growth with virtual technology, though hardware costs and configuration may affect expansion.
They are not licensed, so you could deploy one collector or 1,000 collectors for the same cost.
LogicMonitor scales well
The solution is highly scalable and accommodates the growth needs effectively.
It is not similar to software solutions Datadog or Dynatrace where they can easily add agents without problems.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
LogicMonitor is praised for its stability, minimal outages, seamless operation, proactive updates, and strong performance across infrastructures.
Sentiment score
8.0
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is reliable with rare downtime; minor issues occur, but support is responsive and stability is high.
It is very stable. I have never seen LogicMonitor itself go down.
Datadog is more stable than NETSCOUT nGeniusONE, being a SaaS-based solution compared to on-prem solutions like NETSCOUT.
I rate the stability of NETSCOUT nGeniusONE as ten out of ten since we have not experienced any escalations or downtime issues from the end user's side.
Customers are more sensitive about NETSCOUT nGeniusONE's upgrades because it has hardware.
 

Room For Improvement

Users seek enhanced logic, customization, automation, mobile experiences, integration, deployment clarity, and logging in LogicMonitor.
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE needs a user-friendly interface, improved integration, modular pricing, and enhanced cloud capabilities to address user challenges.
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.
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.
Customers want to have service assurance, including NPM and APM, from one vendor.
It would be beneficial to see more AI capabilities included in nGeniusONE to further streamline processes.
Many big companies Samsung and Hyundai try to build their own monitoring solutions using open-source tools and their own engineers, though it has not been successful.
 

Setup Cost

LogicMonitor provides affordable enterprise pricing based on devices, though cloud licensing can be confusing and costly for large deployments.
Enterprise users find NETSCOUT nGeniusONE reliable and valuable, but expensive, with complex pricing and crucial licensing considerations for upgrades.
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.
The cost depends on the size of the customer, as sizing controls the pricing.
 

Valuable Features

LogicMonitor excels in customizable dashboards, flexible data monitoring, effective alerts, reporting, and integration, offering comprehensive control and ease of use.
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE excels in real-time monitoring, traffic analysis, and data insights, favored by large finance and manufacturing companies.
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.
If you need to troubleshoot, or if the Logic Module does not work exactly as needed, you can go in, look at the code, and fork that Logic Module to adjust the Groovy code to do exactly what you need.
The best features LogicMonitor offers include the single pane of glass, the constant improvements to the features within LogicMonitor, as well as the excellent support and the ability to actually get hold of the developers of their specific products or features within the tool.
The capability of real-time traffic intelligence is also very useful because it allows for the comparison between real-time and historical packet levels.
Their analysis capability actually surpasses other APM solutions, which is why customers love it.

Featured Reviews

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.
Mohammed Hassan - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us by providing root cause analysis when it comes to latency and performance issues
I would recommend NETSCOUT nGeniusONE to others yet not for small SMBs due to the pricing. It is important to have the necessary NETSCOUT experience for smooth integration. The automated issue detection sometimes has a few false positives but is overall cost-effective for our customers. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
