Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.

Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"The most valuable feature is the very large probe number, over 180, for different technologies, that all communicate their metrics through one product."
"We are using it to monitor all of our infrastructure, network devices, and applications across our datacenters in Europe, Americas, Mexico, and Asia."
"We gave them a tool that can give them everything they wanted, that they never had before."
"Prior to using this solution, we had three point solutions in place; one for voice infrastructure, one for servers, and one for networks, and this tool meant we were actually able to collapse everything into a single interface which made my team's life easier, but it also meant that our first line staff then just had one view of the customer's entire infrastructure."
"UIM is easy to use and configure and easy to implement and to get up and running out of the box."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"Diagnosing issues is a lot faster; we can pinpoint what is going on more quickly than trying to figure it out, and with our teams being kind of split, we can all access it at the same time and see what we need to see very quickly and easily."
"I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"I like that the solution offers a diversity of things; it can give you resource monitoring, it can be integrated to detect an application crash, to capture syslog, things like that, and I like the diversity of the dashboard."
"My overall conclusion is that it is a valuable product for simulating Citrix logons because it does it with minimal effort and with a real user account."
"I think Goliath offers a very good tool to do simulated Citrix logons with actual user accounts and that the reports are useful to monitor and debug a session."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"Offers a diversity of features."
 

Cons

"It requires a very skilled team to be able to deploy that application, and if you don’t invest in training and don’t go over a long training period, you might find it difficult to deploy."
"​We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"One of the things I would like to see an improvement on is the ability to do mass deployment."
"Customer Service: Poor when compared to other CA groups I have worked with. Technical Support: First line - excellent. Getting beyond first line - a battle."
"UIM supports AS400, but it is somewhat limited."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"Reporting capability - We're unable to drill down to the specific data that we'd like. We're also not able to get some data, such as trends, that we want when trying to determine root causes of issues in our applications."
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"The price seems reasonable."
