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

"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."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"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."
"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."
"The bi-directional integration with ServiceNow has saved me a lot of money in man-hours, over the course of the last few years."
"SevOne's ability to report metrics on specific objects very quickly, whether it is a week, a month, or a year's worth of data points, has improved by leveraging short-term vs. long-term memory to provide necessary statistics so we can alleviate network impacts quickly."
"SevOne has rich API capabilities, giving us the flexibility to control what we collect and customize the collection, creation, and manipulation of now metrics as necessary."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"SevOne is the one tool which provides multiple features, and the servers or databases have different plugins that can be used to monitor various components of the network and applications."
"Customer Service: Excellent, customer service is 10/10."
"Technical support is 10/10; responses to questions are within 20 minutes and the longest time to be resolved was three days."
"SevOne excels at gathering performance metrics and then making them quickly accessible in ways that I want to view them."
 

Cons

"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"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."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"They have all been good at trying to understand our use and business, but some push the sale too hard and that is a turn off."
"I think that the upgrade process could be improved, which can be painful at times."
"Every upgrade we've done -- and we've done them all -- have been highly disruptive and extraordinarily difficult."
"It needs a platform to add portals."
"There is no service mode setup in this monitoring tool if you want to snooze alerts for any specific amount of time, to account for any activity change or major incident."
"With the administrative management of the appliance, if some object appears from SevOne because something changed in the network or whatever, then as an administrator you will not be aware."
"Would benefit with the addition of AI modules for proactive data insights."
"SevOne could improve its flexibility because it isn't fully customizable and its out-of-the-box configuration doesn't cover all use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"The tool is not expensive. We were able to negotiate with SevOne on pricing."
"Prices per license are not huge, but they exist."
"There are different options available for licensing, with the per-device option being more expensive but more flexible."
"Choose a SevOne partner who can provide SevOne as a service and can deliver professional services and maintenance."
"The pricing has been fair."
"Although I don't have exact details in terms of cost, my experience has been that SevOne is willing to make a deal with the customer."
"There are cheaper solutions available."
"It is inexpensive compared to other monitoring tools."
