Optimizing user experience through comprehensive monitoring and real-time analytics
Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience. It identifies slow applications, system bottlenecks, and offers network and latency analytics to detect network congestion and connection issues. It enhances the security of Citrix environments by providing valuable security insights. It integrates well with Splunk and Elastic Stack to provide real-time analytics. Additionally, it is useful for tracking Citrix log-ons and determining where delays are happening.

Delivers comprehensive and customizable system management with increased efficiency
The best features I have found are that it is very customizable, which would be number one, and very extensible through the use of scripts and triggers. The visual look of the interface is very easy to understand what is happening and somewhat why it's happening. It may sound facetious, but it really is everything about it. Everything works exactly the way it's meant to, a dream come true for anyone who's administering systems because it gives you all the information that you want and all the actions you want to take, all in one place. The benefits I have seen from using it so far include the ability to know in advance and take actions based on the information the tool gives you.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring helps us optimize the end-user experience."
"When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available."
"Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service."
"Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI."
"The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications."
"ControlUp has some good functionalities, such as remotely pushing scripts in the device through the tool."
"The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."
 

Cons

"Citrix uberAgent Monitoring currently does not have its own database and requires dependency on products like Splunk or Elastic Stack for visualization."
"Most reports give information about the top 100 devices, but not all of the devices."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version."
"It is expensive. It is very expensive. I was working in a bank, and even in the bank, which was quite healthy, the ControlUp budget was something we had to defend very harshly."
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."
"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Based on my experience, ControlUp is not that expensive."
