SaaS Monitoring
Your business relies on SaaS solutions to communicate and stay productive every day. When those solutions are impacted, massive disruptions can occur. Your solution provider may not always inform you of service disruptions before they happen. LogicMonitor proactively monitors and notifies you of service interruptions, so you can minimize problems before they happen. Coupled with LogicMonitor’s comprehensive hybrid infrastructure monitoring, you gain full visibility across all the tools you need to keep your business humming.

Keep tabs on tools that keep your workforce working
Businesses use multiple SaaS-based productivity applications daily. Zoom, Slack, Webex, Salesforce and M365 are required for communication and collaboration to bring global teams together. When you rely on these tools to keep your business running, you need to know that they’re always on so you can reliably continue your operations.
However, organizations often rely on the SaaS provider to ensure that services are continuously running and that they will address problems for their users. That’s not always the case. Teams can encounter visibility blind spots, delay identifying and solving problems, and fail to quickly locate root causes when there are monitoring gaps across the IT estate.
Viewing the health of your SaaS applications alongside your overall hybrid cloud estate brings holistic visibility to your IT operations teams, and saves time to resolve business-critical issues so that communication keeps flowing.
