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.

Offers comprehensive monitoring and tool consolidation but integration complexity needs improvement
There is room for improvement in the speed of setting up the service and integrating PowerPacks. Although these prebuilt features are great, there is considerable complexity in bringing them together to create a unified dashboard. Even with many good integrations and deep visibility, the implementation takes time, especially when it doesn't involve these integrations. While some other companies have easier APIs, using this solution demands significant expertise. It's challenging for new customers to implement independently. The implementation speed of non-PowerPack or non-out-of-the-box integrations should be improved. Additionally, the AI automation feature is not yet very rich due to resource constraints supporting a wide platform.

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 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."
"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."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"In conclusion, I think Goliath Performance Monitor is a true winner."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"It has allowed us to grow, as we’re able to offer new services to our customers that they didn't have in the past, opening a whole new door of monitoring offerings to our customers and what we can provide for them on top of what we already are providing."
"I recommend ScienceLogic to other users."
"ScienceLogic has given us the ability to generate tickets directly from monitoring events."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"The Power Packs that are available are amazing."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"We have received an ROI from the use of ScienceLogic, and we are getting better visibility and help on the platform."
 

Cons

"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"Integrating observability and APM monitoring into the overall portfolio would be beneficial."
"ScienceLogic's technical support should respond more efficiently in terms of time."
"The reporting module needs work."
"Use the professional services proposed solution to support private MIBs, we are encountering what appears to be poling time outs, which creates false positives."
"Admins do not have direct access to the reporting."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"Overall monitoring capabilities could be improved. We run into instances where we are not able to configure monitoring for specific things and it requires quite a bit of manual labor to accomplish these tasks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"I'm not the best person to discuss pricing, but what I do know is that it's a use-and-go structure. You use this much storage and pay this much for it. That's how it is. Every time, we continue to add a large amount of data to the environment."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"Pricing between the two is quiet large therefore you can save some money if you don't require to collect all info on each device."
