Room For Improvement

Centreon users seek improved customization, monitoring, UI, documentation, integration, mobile features, auto-remediation, multilingual support, and notifications.

LogicMonitor needs AI-driven alert management, enhanced interfaces, and improved cloud monitoring to address user complexity and performance issues.

Enhancements are needed in identifying configuration issues, providing real-time alerts in case of issues, and improving the HTTP configuration tasks.

Sulesh PK

Monitoring and Operations Pilot at Egis S.A.

Reliability is sometimes an issue. Centreon has a developer mode and production mode, but sometimes alerts don't come through in production mode.

Tinkesh Chaudhary

Network Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

While Centreon excels at server-level monitoring, it lacks the ability to track web app availability and latency, unlike Dynatrace, which is efficient in this area.

Aadinath Tikone

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.

Anshuman Thakur

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

We are not just looking for a solution that is monitoring-based; we are looking for a solution that fixes the outage and documents it all.

Manash Pathak

Assistant Consultant at cmc

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.

Setup Cost

Centreon provides an open-source solution for SMEs but has a complex pricing model for enterprises needing premium features.

LogicMonitor's subscription pricing is competitive yet costly for small businesses, with extra fees for premium features and services.

Centreon's pricing is not very expensive.

Sulesh PK

Monitoring and Operations Pilot at Egis S.A.

For more quotes and insights, download the Centreon report

For small businesses that want to utilize LogicMonitor and are just starting out with limited customers, a pricing model targeted to this segment would be beneficial, perhaps at three or two dollars per device per month.

Ankar Aung

Network Security Engineer at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

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 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.

Experience enhanced monitoring with real-time alerts and efficient support

I would like to see automation in the poller features, as currently, the poller is not automated. If we could automate the addition or removal of hosts in the poller, it would improve efficiency. Sometimes, Centreon does not show the status of services as updated, which should be addressed. Additionally, enhancements are needed in identifying configuration issues, providing real-time alerts in case of issues, and improving the HTTP configuration tasks, as Centreon does not currently display issues with HTTP links, requiring manual investigation.

Anshuman Thakur

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

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.
