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.

Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.

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 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."
"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."
"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."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management pays for itself because of how flexible it is, and it's a very strong tool."
"IT support management is the most valuable feature and a very good product."
"The impact of ServiceNow IT Operations Management's configuration management on service quality has been significant, as we implemented a common platform for the Adani Group, which is a large company, and we have Adani Wilmar with close to eight or nine separate business units covering oil, gas, steel, and real estate, all having different features and functionality, while keeping the overall process and configuration the same to reduce the run maintenance cost of the overall group company and within Adani, ensuring a single source of truth."
"Their Event Management is very good."
"We use this solution primarily for event management, aggregation, correlation, and analytics, and it has moved from simple correlation to AIOps and helps us and our customers move towards AIOps."
"It is a product that is familiar for a lot of users."
"ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization."
"It has been very useful for tracking. It has evolved a lot over time, and there is a single pane of glass where you can track and see everything."
 

Cons

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"Hardware requirements of the management server are kind of steep, 4cpu is quite a number."
"However, its GUI can use a little help. The navigation is not the most straightforward like many other monitoring tools."
"With Goliath IT Monitors, the processing speed is very slow."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"There are times the application has some performance issue, but it could be because of our network. There should be something done to resolve this."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"The out-of-the-box reporting feature has room for the improvement, it can be make more user friendly as other tools."
"The security policies could be increased."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective."
"When it comes to improvements, I think that my colleagues and I often have issues finding the correct screen and the search box does not work as intended."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"It has different subscription models."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
