60-Second Deployment

Single-line installer with automatic discovery. Operational in 60 seconds vs LogicMonitor’s multi-day setup. Zero configuration required for instant value.

Complete Data Sovereignty

All metrics stay on-premises. GDPR and HIPAA compliance by design. No data egress to vendor clouds. Your infrastructure, your data, your control.

Edge-Native ML

18 unsupervised models per metric trained locally. 99% false positive reduction in anomaly detection through consensus. Real-time detection without cloud dependency.

Catch Problems 60× Faster

LogicMonitor’s 1-minute intervals miss the microbursts, transient spikes, and brief anomalies that cause real production issues. Netdata’s per-second granularity captures every event - revealing the true behavior of your systems instead of smoothed averages. When a database query spikes to 100% CPU for 5 seconds every 20 seconds, LogicMonitor shows a harmless 25% average. Netdata shows the damaging 100% spikes.

60× faster detection

Catch Problems 60× Faster

Deploy in 60 Seconds, Not Days

LogicMonitor requires multi-step collector deployment, credential configuration, template application, and dashboard building - taking hours to days before you see value. Netdata installs with a single command, automatically discovers your infrastructure, generates dashboards algorithmically, and starts collecting per-second metrics immediately. From bare server to fully monitored node in under a minute.

Reduce Costs by 90%

LogicMonitor’s quote-based pricing uses complex unit conversions with variable costs per tier. Netdata’s transparent predictable per-node pricing delivers 90% cost reduction with no surprise bills. No per-metric charges. No data volume penalties. Unlimited metrics and logs included. Simple, predictable costs that scale linearly with your infrastructure.

Keep Your Data Where It Belongs

LogicMonitor sends all metric data to their cloud for processing and storage - creating data egress charges, compliance concerns, and vendor dependency. Netdata processes and stores everything on-premises. Only metadata (node names, chart titles) travels to Netdata Cloud for unified dashboards. GDPR and HIPAA compliance by design. Zero data egress charges. Complete control over your observability data.

Keep Your Data Where It Belongs

Real-Time Anomaly Detection at the Edge

LogicMonitor’s Edwin AI requires premium tier access and processes alerts in the cloud after data egress. Netdata trains 18 unsupervised ML models per metric directly at the edge - achieving 99% false positive reduction in anomaly detection through consensus. Anomaly detection happens during data collection, not in batch jobs. No cloud dependency. No additional cost. Real-time detection included in all plans.
