Programmeur Jouabilité

The automated alerts were accurate, and the dashboards helped me quickly understand performance trends across multiple services.

ProdOps Engineer

The ability to monitor VMs and list the alerts depends on the VM.

Infrastructure Specialist

We monitor such infrastructure metrics such as CPU/Mem/Disk/Network/IO.

Systems Availability Engineer

It helped us discover that some of our core systems were under provisioned, being able to pull the metric information to show more resources were needed helped resolve critical performance issues.

Sr. Systems Administrator

The history information for disks, CPU, and memory usage have helped track down issues and it can predict upcoming usage trends.

The customizable dashboards and automatic alerting are real time-savers.

Communications Manager

LogicMonitor has exceptional capabilities that make work easier for us.

The script writing is a bit difficult to learn, but you can at least try to use the wizard that is built in.

There are many different type of alerts that seem limited by the users imagination.

Project Manager

It provides the opportunity for real-time reporting, usage, and cloud infrastructure monitoring.

The learning curve is EXTREMELY steep! But that comes with the fact that the more flexibility a tool has, the more complicated it can be.

IT Manager

LM has tons of features that enable monitoring of very intricate pieces of the infrastructure.

System Engineer

Few of data source like monitoring local SSL certificate from server are missing.

Cloud Engineer

It's much better than what we had before and gives us historical data, so we can see what happened during an outage.

Manager

Alerting mechanism, dashboards, detailed graphs, log analysis etc...

The user interface is very user-friendly and monitoring is straightforward.

It provides a great interface for dashboards and visualizations with reporting.

Operations Lead

Free training in the application and ability to meet with LM technical trainers to help with any questions.

I was trying to monitor the event viewers and alert when it sees a specific event.  

sr admin

I needs more network modules for monitoring network devices

LM is a powerful tool with all the options one would need to properly manage the IT estate.  

Systems Engineer

It took some time and work, but Logicmonitor was the product we needed to meet our monitoring goals.

Network Administrator

A little tricky to write your own custom monitoring modules independently.

Application Developer

The log management features as well as network management works well

Manager Cloud Operations

It has always been good but again we are reevaluating our willingness to attach such a large price tag to our monitoring.  

Sr. Sys Admin

I also feel like actually creating monitors can be quite difficult if its custom.

Manager for infrastructure Operations

Has lots of features, can access most cloud based system, flexible

An example would be a Windows server that require a certain version of Java.

LogicMonitor is easy to use, but it can be slightly overwhelming when first implemented due to the large amount of data it pulls.

Systems Administrator

No real issues, like the product, but tuning alerts is cumbersome

SNMP profiles preconfigured for most popular manufacturers.

Client Lead

Software Engineer

It offers very good customization options and its flexibility allows it to adapt to our IT infrastructure, without complications.

AZURE ENGINEER

Overall features are good especially the grouping and alert ruling features are good

The alerting is quick and lets us know when something is wrong.  

There is no information on pricing and plans.

We're currently in the process of revamping the tool in our infrastructure and that's been going smooth.

The support you get from their team has always been above par and probably the best support from any product we have purchased.

LogicMonitor is a good thing

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

Manager of Network Infrastructure

The customer support is the best I have ever seen.  

The above are I use in my daily tasks and I just love it.

Rising and costly pricing

Sr Manager

It has become a ritual to increase the price every year and it is hurting many small hosting providers

A big "-" would be the pricing, cPanel is increasing their prices every year and a lot of hosting providers started to move out.

cpanel is the stock tool from our website host, so I've only ever known this tool. Despite not being an IT/web developer, I feel pretty confident I can get whatever I need to do done for my website, though I am always fearful I'm allowing some sort of door open for a web threat.

Setting up the PHP requirements for different apps is a must for optimal performance and security.

Developer

A very simple and easy to use software which has made it incredibly easy for us to run multiple websites for our company under one web server.

Some tools are not as well defined and "hand-hold"-ey as others.

Some features may be more difficult to understand for beginners.

cPanel & WHM makes it easy for someone like me to take care of the things specific to my business without needing to code PHP or administrate an Apache server.

I made use of the DNS Zone access feature in the past when using my web host's DNS servers.

Digital Marketer

The best part of cpanel that i liked most is that it provides a comprehensive analysis of the server at glance like, how much memory is used, the I/O process, and other parts.

Web Developer

Since my first approach to cPanel to handle my client's website back in 2003, the intuitive UI and features allow any user to manage a server in a few minutes.

It intergrates with alot of applications we use mostly due to its longevity in the market and has simplified matters to enable even our beginner uses to get started with it relatively fast.

Manger 

Panel helps in keeping data by setting backup on cloud and easy to restore

Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer

There is a wide variety of plugins like SSL vendors, App installers, Metrics, etc. 3rd party integrations make it very feature-rich.

Executive Director 

Cpanel license is little expensive for small business or individuals if purchased directly from them but most hosting companies provide free license tagged with their products

System Administrator

Set as the industry standard for web hosting I find cPanel & WHM to have a very smooth learning curve even for noobs.

owner

It's easy to use, has every feature you can need and more, lots of one click installs, analytics, database integrations made easy, plus a huge user base for any questions that arise.   If your nervous about hosting your own website and having to do "server backend stuff" have no fear, cPanel has you covered.

Managing Director

I found Cpanel is easy to deploy and reach in features like email management, autoresponder, file management, SSH terminal, securities, and more.

The unfortunate side effect of this is you will need to start learning how to use the competing software or building their own leading to a fracturing of the user base.

The user facing workflow also never changes from the whm allocation all the way to setting up user accounts.

Easy to customize each account, setup mailboxes, install packages, and monitor usage

I am using Cpanel to manage my company website and company business email.

Founder

It's feels old, is too clumsy sometimes for small projects, not too elastic for new deployments

Whm allows quick deployment of  cpanel and they intergrate beautifully

Server administrator 

First of all cpnel support staff is very polite and helpful they alway with you beginners can also handle cpanel with the help of cpnel support.

The recent price increase has led to folks moving away from cPanel which has led to more competition in the marketplace.  

The recent pricing changes brought in alot of complications in determining the cost.

Principal

cPanel and WHM were the most straightforward choice because we were familiar with the graphical user interface (GUI) of cPanel (we had experience with it for about 2 years while our websites were on shared hosting) and the GUI was/is user friendly, even for novices.

The licensing for the duo is quite expensive for startups and small business.

We cannot append the name of the sender in the header.

Some features require a previous knowledge so there aren't a whole lot of step by step instructions.

I use cPanel with my business clients that has been using it since years ago.

SEO Consultant

Some developments are overdue and pricing has increased in recent years, but this is quite normal in the current economy

Student

Many free and paid plugins are available for automated script installation like WordPress, Drupal and so on.

VP - IT/BS

Regular updates that we get from cPanel directly are very important for us.

It can be complex to use for beginners and can overwhelm  you.

cPanel & WHM have been around since the Web went public and people started building websites I think.

WHM/cPanel is everything you need to manage your server.

It has a simple and modern UI that displays all the major categories and features in the home page.

Digital Marketing Manager & Content Creator

Creating email addresses and managing them is super smooth and easygoing.

Front-End Developer

As of now it is only deployed on Linux servers.

It is very easy to search and modify records from their directory.

The price increased significantly, which affected overall expenses.

For advanced control, it's better to switch on something like Plesk. If you figure out that your needs are bigger than options from cPanel you can always grow with some alternatives with more features.

Because it is a very popular control panel, most of the developers I work with know and prefer to use.

Lead Developer

I have a Siteground account that is an indication of that, but short of anything below high dollar hosting I wouldnt work with a host that lacks cPanel functionality.

Easiest to use and don't need deep knowledge of deployment while building and setting up a website on Cpanel.

I would suggest against any option other than cPanel in any use short of huge Cloud accounts that need the specific build some Hosting requires.
