More Goliath Performance Monitor Pros →

"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable.""The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything.""It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps.""The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward.""The most valuable feature is log reporting.""The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching.""The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features.""I find the monitoring console very helpful. With one click, I can see how we are performing, and at the same time, I can see what data is flowing."

Cons
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from.""Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."

More Goliath Performance Monitor Cons →

"The price has room for improvement.""In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions.""The deployment can be quite complex.""A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers.""The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it.""It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers.""There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation.""The implementation can be more user-friendly."
