This is the eleventh blog in our Azure Monitoring series. We’ll show you how LogicMonitor Envision overcomes Azure Monitor’s limitations that leave many CloudOps teams drowning in alerts, blind spots, and constant firefighting.

CloudOps teams managing Azure environments frequently hit a wall with native monitoring tools. Last month, a network operations manager at a healthcare provider told me,
“We can see that something’s wrong, but Azure Monitor gives us fifteen different alerts from five different systems, with no way to tell which one matters.”
This frustration reflects a common reality: basic monitoring metrics don’t translate to actionable intelligence. While Azure Monitor provides fundamental visibility into resource health, growing organizations need more comprehensive capabilities to maintain performance, control costs, and ensure reliability across complex environments.
LogicMonitor Envision fills these gaps without making you abandon your existing Azure investments. Our platform maps every alert, metric, and anomaly back to the service it impacts, so you can focus on fixing what matters, not chasing noise.
We covered Azure Monitor’s limitations in an earlier blog in this series. But now, let’s look at how LogicMonitor provides the capabilities that CloudOps teams actually need to get their jobs done.
TL;DR
Azure Monitor shows basic metrics but fails to connect the dots across complex environments
Alert fatigue drowns teams in notifications–customers cut noise by up to 90% with LM Envision
Blind spots in multi-cloud and hybrid environments leave you vulnerable to outages
Automated discovery finds new resources instantly, ensuring nothing falls through monitoring gaps
Unified Monitoring That Maps to Business Impact
LM Envision brings together metrics, events, logs, and traces from Azure, AWS, GCP, and on-prem systems—all in a single, normalized view. But more importantly, it binds that telemetry to the services those systems support.
That means every alert is tied to a business outcome. Is your VM under pressure? Sure, but more importantly, is it supporting your customer portal, your billing system, or your internal tools? With LM Envision, you’ll know what’s impacted and how to respond.
Case Study: Sensirion Transforms Monitoring with LogicMonitor
Sensirion ditched eight separate platforms for LM Envision and saw dramatic improvements. Before, they spent 56 hours troubleshooting 12 major incidents. Now, outages rarely happen, and when issues do occur, they catch them almost instantly.
“Before LogicMonitor, troubleshooting took hours. Now, we resolve or prevent issues almost immediately.”
Learning what “normal” looks like for each resource instead of using static thresholds
Requiring multiple related metrics to go wrong before bothering you
Grouping related alerts so you don’t get 20 notifications for one problem
Showing you which services are actually affected by an issue
Case Study: Henrico IT Cuts Alert Noise by 90% with LogicMonitor
Henrico County IT runs critical services like 911, police, and fire departments. They were drowning in 5,000 daily alerts from their previous monitoring tool, making it nearly impossible to spot real issues.
After switching to LM Envision as their observability platform, their alert noise dropped by 90%. They now get just 3-4 actionable alerts per day, can see network issues in real time, and have better team collaboration. Instead of constantly reacting, they’re preventing problems before they impact vital county services.
Get Ahead With Predictive Intelligence
LM Envision does more than react. It detects slow-burn problems and subtle trends that signal bigger trouble ahead.
Flags capacity issues before they cause slowdowns
Detects anomalies before end users complain
Suggests likely causes to shorten troubleshooting time
Because all data is mapped to services, these insights aren’t just technical—they’re operational. You’ll see which business functions are at risk and can act accordingly.
Case Study: Abrigo Achieves 99.99% Uptime with LogicMonitor
Abrigo, a financial tech company, needed to reduce alert noise, improve uptime, and meet strict regulatory requirements. With LM Envision, they consolidated tools, automated alert routing, and gained better visibility.
The results speak for themselves: 99.99% uptime, fewer outages, proactive maintenance, and seamless scaling. Even better, they’ve avoided having to report outages to federal regulators, protecting both compliance status and reputation.
Know Where Your Cloud Spend Is Going and Why
Keeping a handle on Azure costs is a constant battle. LM Envision gives you insights beyond what Azure Cost Management provides:
Scores your resources on efficiency to show where you’re wasting money
Let’s you make fair cost comparisons across different cloud platforms
Finds orphaned resources that aren’t doing anything but still cost you money
Maps spending to business units or applications, so you know who’s using what
Case Study: Synoptek Reduces Costs by 80% and Alerts by 60%
Synoptek, a global MSP, had too many tools and rising costs due to growth and acquisitions. After implementing LM Envision, they cut their total monitoring costs by 80% and reduced alerts by 60%.
The platform automated their onboarding, improved visibility, and eliminated manual work. Now, they run a more efficient, scalable monitoring operation that costs less and performs better.
Manual configuration is a time sink. LM Envision automates discovery, onboarding, and monitoring with precision.
Automatically discovers Azure resources as they spin up
Applies the right monitoring profiles based on the type of resource
Uses templates to ensure consistent monitoring across similar resources
Continuously scans so your monitoring stays accurate as your environment changes
Case Study: How Infor Uses LogicMonitor to Optimize Its AWS Deployment
Infor streamlined their AWS monitoring by replacing multiple tools with LM Envision. The automated discovery and real-time insights eliminated the need for manual agent management, making everything more efficient and transparent.
“We were using 3-4 tools to get what we’re now getting from LogicMonitor with one.”
Built to Extend
If your environment has existing tooling that is out of scope to be replaced or is critical to your business operations, LM Envision is flexible and can integrate smoothly and build on what you have.
Works with existing dashboards and workflows
Adds service context to your existing telemetry
Supports phased rollout with minimal disruption
Case Study: Virteva Streamlines Monitoring with LogicMonitor
As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Virteva relies on Azure for client support but needed deeper monitoring capabilities. Before, they juggled multiple tools and received over 5,000 monthly alerts.
By integrating LM Envision with Azure, they improved visibility, streamlined reporting, and cut alert noise by 96%. The platform complemented their existing setup by monitoring diverse infrastructures, including both Microsoft and Linux systems.
“If something’s not already being monitored, we can build it.”
From Raw Data to Real Insight
Azure Monitor shows you metrics. LM Envision shows you what matters because it connects those metrics to the services that keep your business running.
Organizations that use LM Envision typically see:
Unified observability across platforms
Service-aware alerting and root cause analysis
Predictive signals to act before incidents happen
Smarter cost visibility tied to real usage
Automation that scales with your environment
The results are less noise, faster resolution, better visibility, and more time for your team to focus on improving performance, not just reacting to problems.
