About Goliath Performance Monitor

Goliath automatically correlates Citrix/VMware performance data from various sources across the infrastructure including the hypervisor, servers, operating systems, user experience and applications to quickly identify where a problem occurs and what is causing it. This allows expensive IT architects to spend less time troubleshooting and enables help desk and admins who are not specialists to resolve issues without being an expert. Goliath Performance Monitor guides users on what metrics to monitor and how to monitor them. It’s like having a team of troubleshooting experts working 24/7/365 to prevent and resolve end user experience issues.
Goliath's detailed session summary includes the user's path to connecting with the session, logon time, and key performance metrics.

Ask Kip! New Feature Is A Great Value Add!

This has been a fantastic monitoring tool for a Citrix implementation. It's console is simple to use and navigate. There are a ton of default alerts configured, some of which I didn't realize were in place. An example of this is the LHC monitor alert. This let me know that there was an issue with Citrix Cloud before I had even seen the effect of it. It prompted me to check status.cloud.com. Soon after the alert, I saw devices begin to unregister. Having that heads up was fantastic. The addition of Ask Kip! has made it an even better experience.

PROS

The new Ask Kip! feature is a fantastic add to the tool-set. It allows quick finding of configurations, troubleshooting, and assisting with any questions. It also showed some remediation steps for user issues. I couldn't off the top of my head remember alert suppression setting and it showed the step by step to make the change I needed. It clearly explains what is asked and the answer is exactly what I asked for every time I submitted a query. Excellent AI assistant.

CONS

Didn't really find anything that stood out as being a negative.

Total Monitoring Package

Goliath staff believe in old-school customer support, they assist you in every aspect of their product. From the time you first contact them they are not just a vendor; they are part of your team and part of your success.

PROS

We rely heavily on Citrix in our environment, and this is the only tools we have found that gives you a total picture of the entire environment from start to finish.

CONS

If I had to say anything bad it would be the learning curve with any monitoring system, however; they give you great support and training to assist you with this.

Reason for choosing Goliath Performance Monitor

We looked at many options when considering this solution. The ultimate decision came down to Goliath being the only solution that could monitor our Citrix, vmWare and Epic solution all in one single dashboard and solution.

Find Elusive Login Delays

PROS

The level of detail in the login process for every user makes it easy to find what may be causing long login times. Being able to inspect endpoint information is crucial to determine if the user is local or remote in the case of performance complaints, down to being able to see fluctuations in bandwidth on a home wireless network. Every step of the process, from the initial Proof-of-Concept setup and review to the final install and configuration, was performed under the direction and supervision of a knowledgeable Goliath engineer, who also took the time to explain the steps - all included in the purchase cost! Post-install training for both administrators and users is also included and very useful.

CONS

The only drawback I can think of is not knowing about this product sooner.

Much better than competitors products, easy to use.

PROS

The provided scorecard for user experience

CONS

Lacking a bit of reporting ability internally to the product. API can be setup, but these should all be brought internal to the product.
