LogicMonitor and Vista Equity Partners
In April 2018, LogicMonitor, one of the world’s leading SaaS-based performance monitoring platforms for hybrid IT infrastructures and cloud services, partnered with Vista Equity Partners (Vista). Vista, an investment firm, acquired a majority stake in the business, while Providence Strategic Growth (PSG) continued to retain minority ownership in LogicMonitor.
This investment by Vista endorses the leadership position we’ve built to date and provides us with an incredible opportunity to leverage their intellectual capital and portfolio of resources to continue to scale our own business,” said Kevin McGibben, Executive Chairman of LogicMonitor, of the acquisition.
McGibben saw investment from Vista as an opportunity to expand LogicMonitor and propel growth. Indeed, after the acquisition, LogicMonitor grew not only in size but also its market. In early 2019, LogicMonitor began expanding into the Australian market. LogicMonitor rounded out 2019 with a year of record growth, 60% year-over-year growth, in fact, and an expanded internal footprint. With Vista’s backing, the company added new locations in Austin, London, Sydney and Pune, India and hit significant milestones with 500 employees spread across nine global offices, 75,000 platform users in thousands of companies worldwide, 1.4 million active devices monitored, 2,000 out-of-the-box integrations, the development of AIOps capabilities and partner network expansion. Additionally, the company more than doubled in headcount since the 2018 acquisition.
In recognition of LogicMonitor’s achievements in 2020, they won the 2021 Best of Customer Support Award from TrustRadius. In addition, LogicMonitor was honored to receive the 2021 Managed Service Provider (MSP) Innovation Award for Best MSP Partner Program, among other honors based on client and customer feedback and reviews. LogicMonitor was also named to Fortune’s list of Best Workplaces in 2022 and Inc. Magazine’s list of the 5000 Most Successful Companies in America.
