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

"DX UIM is scalable."
"The feature that we've found to be very helpful is the way the solution categorizes the devices to identify groups, groups of devices and clusters."
"I definitely appreciate the flexibility and ease of use. We've been using UIM for almost three years now. It's pretty much point and click, very easy to use. And we've had no problems scaling it to our own environment."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"We really like using the tools, we like all of the things that we've gotten out of the tool set, the ability to visualize, the ability to help our troubleshooting, the in depth analysis for our infrastructure teams and things like that."
"I really value the underlying Java framework for development of custom probes."
"For me, the most valuable feature is multi-tenancy as it can monitor networks and applications simultaneously."
"I would recommend DX Unified Infrastructure Management to others as it is a good and reliable solution."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"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."
"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."
"I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"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."
 

Cons

"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"It would be good to implement views showing the aggregated status graphically."
"The main complaint with the tool is we are attempting to migrate off of SCOM and the management packs that SCOM has for Exchange (ED and SharePoint) it does not look like UIM and can't necessarily compete with those."
"Being able to report on the monitoring configurations and find out where you differentiate from standards. If I've deployed 500 probes to monitor Oracle, and I want to know that they're all monitored the same, I have no way to do that now."
"It seems clunky, not as user friendly as Spectrum, for example."
"Scalability for redundant data centers is challenging."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"Although the products is easy to deploy, the implementation effort is still inconsistent."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
 

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."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
"The price seems reasonable."
