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 would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product."

"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."

"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."

"Offers a diversity of features."

"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 like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."

"It has been a godsend and has brought us 11 months of stability, the likes of which I'd never seen before in 15 years with the company."

"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."

"The SMP and the xStats, which is for flat file integration, are both useful for integrating the various metrics that the device provides to monitor the performance of those systems."

"The reporting capabilities provided important metrics and data that helped in the oversight of our system, network, and overall IT infrastructure, both in terms of applications and hardware."

"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."

"SevOne NPM helps our customers detect performance issues faster and, once it's properly configured, it will help you address some issues right away, cutting troubleshooting time by one to three hours and enabling you to proactively address potential performance issues before a failure occurs."

"The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is the scale-up and scale-down. The scale-up is an operation where the CPU boosts-up and then the memory will boost-up. That works awesomely."

Cons

"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."

"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."

"The setup is a bit complex."

"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."

"One area that requires a little bit of improvement is the topology of visualization and being able to map out connections, end-to-end."

"The tool needs improvement in non-Cisco SD-WAN."

"Continual UI improvements are needed to reduce number of clicks needed to produce a chart."

"There are a lot of pain points. My main problem is that we don't have a high availability system. There are 20 peers. We're going to lose the end-of-life appliances that are old. If we lose a peer and it doesn't come back, we lose all that data. The reason we don't have high availability is because it's double the charge."

"Their virtualization solution is not compatible with our Kubernetes environment, which is one of the reasons we are ending our relationship with them."

"Some of the services and functionality are adapted for SevOne via open-source, and the cost is very high. For the price that they are asking, it cannot be justified."

"The user management features need to be improved. It would be nice if we had more granular control, or layers of control, out of the box."

"The GUI: both the dashboard/user view and the admin tool."

More IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."

"The pricing has been fair."

"The tool is not expensive. We were able to negotiate with SevOne on pricing."

"There are cheaper solutions available."

"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."

"It is inexpensive compared to other monitoring tools."

"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."

"Choose a SevOne partner who can provide SevOne as a service and can deliver professional services and maintenance."
