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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is simple."
"A major benefit is eliminating visibility gaps, which motivates me to consolidate tools."
"It has a lot of integration capabilities as well; we can integrate with a lot of things, monitor emails and APIs, handle customization and automation, and there is a great dashboard with many features to take advantage of."
"Web monitoring, service and processes monitoring have saved and prevented more than just one outage."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"This is the best tool ever which allowed us to consolidate from various monitoring solutions such as HPOV, CA and SCOM."
"The customizable dashboard is my favorite feature because I have everything that matters to me in my role available immediately at sign on, and we can also customize a customer's dashboard view so that from analyst to C-level executive we can give the customer exactly what they want and need to see at sign on."
"Its ITSM and EMS combination is really amazing. There is no need to purchase two products, one for ITSM and a second for EMS/NMS."
 

Cons

"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"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."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"The UI takes a bit to learn but once you get past that it gets the job done."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"As we have increased the amount of devices and the range of those devices we have run in to scaling issues which will most likely cause us to stand up a brand new instance of ScienceLogic to meet our needs."
"ScienceLogic is working towards a kind of AI, DKAIRA enablement, but I find one dependency is the frequent need to rely on professional services."
"I see room to do better in the network and SNMP trap processing."
"Simplified Interface - ScienceLogic can be a bit overwhelming when you begin working with it."
"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot."
"Error information doesn’t have a good information if something goes wrong while doing a device discovery (I tried this a while back- couldn’t be more specific)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"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."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The solution is license-based. It's between $8 and $15, depending on what you need from the product."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
