LogicMonitor has been able to grow its sales and marketing teams, as well as invest in new product development, as a result of this funding infusion. As a result of these expenditures, LogicMonitor's customer base is rapidly expanding.

When LogicMonitor got investment money, the major problem was keeping the company focused on its core objective and not getting distracted by the flashy new projects that came with being a financed company.

LogicMonitor also had to ensure that it continued to be profitable and grow its customer base in order to justify the investment.

LogicMonitor has made several acquisitions to bolt on functionality, including AppOptics, which gives LogicMonitor a comprehensive solution for performance monitoring and analytics.

This aggressive acquisition strategy has helped LogicMonitor to quickly expand its product offering, however, growth through acquisition also comes with its challenges, such as integration and consolidation.
