LogicMonitor vs Sensu Go

LogicMonitor Envision unifies metrics, logs, events, and traces for infrastructure monitoring and troubleshooting across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Coverage includes networks, servers, remote environments, virtual machines, SD-WAN, databases, storage, and configuration. LogicMonitor says agentless collectors and automated discovery can onboard infrastructure without scripts or manual configuration. AI features provide anomaly detection, dynamic thresholds, usage forecasting, and intelligent alerting. The platform advertises more than 3,000 integrations, including Ansible, Cisco, Datadog, Dynatrace, Fortinet, GitHub, Grafana, Kubernetes, Linux, and Windows. Essentials starts at $16 a month per Hybrid Unit, with standard minimum quantities and terms, and supports up to 999 Hybrid Units. A Hybrid Unit varies by resource type. A 15-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.

Sensu Go is a commercial monitoring and observability solution for enterprise DevOps and SRE teams overseeing infrastructure from Kubernetes to bare metal. It collects, filters, and transforms monitoring events before sending them to a database chosen by the customer. Teams can manage declarative monitoring configuration, check system and service health, collect metrics and logs, and run custom scripts including Nagios-style plugins. Agents discover virtual machines, public cloud compute instances, containers, and services. Sensu can alert by email, Slack, or SMS, create or resolve incidents in PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and JIRA, and deduplicate alerts. It also supports remediation actions such as restarting services or running scripts. Sensu Go is self-hosted and free for up to 100 nodes at one site. Pro costs $36 per year, billed annually, with a 100-node minimum; this equals $3.00 per node/month when billed annually. The free 14-day trial is for evaluating beyond 100 nodes. The backend is unsupported on Windows and macOS.
