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.

Efficient monitoring and alerting enhance operational insights
With Grafana Enterprise Stack, we can identify issues that New Relic cannot help with. While New Relic requires purchase and supports frontend and backend components, Grafana Enterprise Stack helps identify where issues are occurring. When we need to deep dive into issues, we use New Relic to trace transactions and determine where maximum impact occurs, whether in core size, DB side, or frontend components that slow performance. We first evaluate with Grafana Enterprise Stack, then move to New Relic if we identify performance degradation, such as DB queries taking too much time. Grafana Enterprise Stack responds to queries within 6 to 12 hours. They contact users through email immediately when available. Similarly, New Relic follows the same pattern, responding immediately when requests are raised and resolving issues promptly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"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 would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."
"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."
"The most valuable features for us are dashboards; we can dashboard anything that we can think of, we can dashboard and measure."
"It is truly reliable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is real-time monitoring. It helps in securing the application or the node by allowing us to monitor and manage resource consumption during peak times. For instance, from 10 AM to 2 PM, we may experience high memory utilization. It helps us to solve these issues."
"Grafana has enough features around dashboard management. It's got enough plugins to create your dashboards."
"Compared to other packages, Grafana Enterprise Stack is user-friendly and easy to configure quickly."
"The ability to graph actual, live, or on-the-fly activity is valuable; it is an added value to work with Grafana Enterprise Stack and to display results or logs, which are huge in nature, in graphical characters."
"Grafana's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
"The most valuable features of Grafana for data visualization are its ability to create intuitive dashboards and its wide range of visualization options like graphs, charts, and tables."
 

Cons

"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"I believe there are some areas for improvement in the product. Something that could be better is the time series functionality."
"The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved."
"Productivity has been improved with the use of Grafana Enterprise Stack, but cost savings or return on investment specifics are not clear."
"The layout is good, but I think it needs some enhancement based on my experience."
"If Grafana Enterprise Stack could display transaction queries in dashboard format similar to New Relic, it would provide more options and capabilities for users."
"The tool needs to show only fewer updates."
"I find Grafana really hard to configure. It's difficult to build the dashboard, and it's non-intuitive. In my opinion, it's very difficult to work with Grafana."
"They could use more small tutorials to explain a bit about how Grafana works."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"I use the tool's free license."
