We need to be able to reach them in real-time, and without those kinds of options available, we have to set up ad hoc calls, which could be improved.

The product mostly just works without issues.

LogicMonitor's scalability absolutely meets our organization's growth needs.
Observability Engineer at Universal Music Group

Since we implemented LogicMonitor and got it working in production, there has been no downtime, no reliability issues, and nothing major regarding flare-ups from LogicMonitor's perspective.
Observability Engineer at Universal Music Group
Datadog is more stable than NETSCOUT nGeniusONE, being a SaaS-based solution compared to on-prem solutions like NETSCOUT.
Regional Director at iSecureMind
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.
System Integrator at a construction company with 11-50 employees
Customers are more sensitive about NETSCOUT nGeniusONE's upgrades because it has hardware.
General Manager at MOCOMSYS
 

Room For Improvement

Enhance parent/child logic, dashboard customization, and support while improving interface, permissions, and container monitoring for user satisfaction.
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE requires interface improvements, better integration, cost reduction, and enhanced features to increase appeal and competitiveness.
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.
IT Infrastructure Engineer at Ethical Trade SErvices Africa
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.
Sr. Systems Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
One thing Dynatrace had that I enjoyed was real-time support chat available to reach someone and get help in real-time.
Observability Engineer at Universal Music Group
Customers want to have service assurance, including NPM and APM, from one vendor.
Regional Director at iSecureMind
It would be beneficial to see more AI capabilities included in nGeniusONE to further streamline processes.
System Integrator at a construction company with 11-50 employees
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.
General Manager at MOCOMSYS
 

Setup Cost

LogicMonitor provides competitive pricing with good value for features, though cloud licensing and large environments may pose challenges.
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE is costly but offers reliable value and flexibility, necessitating careful budgeting for its comprehensive functionality.
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.
Technical Lead: Enterprise Monitoring at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
The cost depends on the size of the customer, as sizing controls the pricing.
Regional Director at iSecureMind
Regarding its high price, I give NETSCOUT nGeniusONE a seven.

Valuable Features

LogicMonitor offers customizable dashboards, robust alerting, and integrations to enhance efficiency, proactive issue detection, and decision-making.
NETSCOUT nGeniusONE offers real-time traffic intelligence, simplified visibility, and efficient network performance analysis with user-friendly dashboards.
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.
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.
Observability Engineer at Universal Music Group
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.
Sr. Systems Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
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.

Has reduced false positives and enabled real-time insights during global events
LogicMonitor could improve their support system. One thing Dynatrace had that I enjoyed was real-time support chat available to reach someone and get help in real-time. With LogicMonitor, that is not really an option. We have to set up an email or reach out to support and try to set up an ad hoc call, which cannot be done in real-time when time is the most sensitive issue. That is definitely one area where they could improve. There are not many gaps or anything that LogicMonitor does not already have available. More data sources or more reporting options would be helpful to make sure all bases are covered, no matter what kind of report or data we are looking to pull. Outside of that, there are really not many notes regarding changes to the application itself.

Offers detailed network monitoring but requires improvement in deployment complexity and pricing
The price is really high, making it difficult for many financial companies to purchase immediately; it will take time for them to afford any budget for the purchase. The traffic data correlation feature's effectiveness with performance issues for clients remains uncertain as there are questions that need to be addressed through engineers regarding how many customers are actually using it. Regarding pricing and value for money, while the solution has the potential to save time and money for clients in the long term, monitoring solutions for performance management or network monitoring do not cause immediate damage to a company. It could lead to damage over time, but financial and management teams typically cannot see the immediate crisis. This is why 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.
