LogicMonitor vs Skeddly: Which is a better fit?

I am happy to say the Logic Monitor has the best support of any company I have ever worked with in my 25+ years in the industry. Does not hurt that their product is awesome either.

It is insane the amount of applications that we ditched when switching over to LogicMonitor simply because of the mass amounts of information it can pull and alert on.

The community forums are great and Logic Monitor actually listens to the customers and very often implements recommended improvements. Great product, Great company.

Logicmonitor only charges you 1 license to monitor the switch and you can have (I believe) an unlimited number of monitored items within that switch.

It has made training new techs a breeze due to documentation and ease of use. They are responsive to requests and open to help you help them build the product.

We no longer spend time sustaining remote access mechanisms that make it cumbersome to view our monitoring data...wherever and whenever that data is needed, a browser is all that is required.

There is the protection in real time, this is the thing that i like in this software and also the cloud security this is so awesome.

The program cut down the amount of time engineers spent checking resource management of vcenter.

I have reached out to support on several occasions with questions and feel like my requests have been resolved on the first contact. The pricing is also great since you only pay per action.

Suggestions to change names of AMI's and avoid them repeat names too. Once I was generating AMI's with the same name, one killing other and I was thinking we had more backups in different times.

At the same time the cleanup tasks are great and help keep snapshot and storage costs down because we don't have to think about it and we only keep the data we want.

Maybe the request for providing a credit card and not being entirely sure whether I would be charged after a month or not (in my opinion this was not very clear on the terms of use).

So easy to define actions once you have linked it to your AWS account, and having multiple users for a Skeddly account is a great help too.

Lack of notification options such as having the possibility to dispatch the notifications to several email address and/or have separate email address per event.

Backing up my new web apps user uploads on S3. Couldn't find any other solution I was happy with out there.

For example backup tasks, scaling tasks etc. Now we have a log lost and solve this using a naming convention.
