Goliath Performance Monitor review
A focused DEX platform for detailed VDI monitoring, analysis, and remediation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Goliath Performance Monitor is a digital experience and IT operations monitoring product for organizations running Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or VMware Horizon. It brings end-user experience, application availability, infrastructure, hypervisor, server, operating-system, and network data into one console. Its audience is teams responsible for virtual desktop performance, application access, and incident resolution, including healthcare environments using EHR-focused monitoring modules.
The product’s strongest area is VDI analysis. Synthetic logon testing and 33+ stage Citrix logon-process analysis help teams isolate where access delays occur. Monitoring covers ICA, HDX, PCoIP, and Blast experience metrics, while threshold-based alerts and monitoring rules can flag emerging issues. Root-cause identification spans infrastructure components, and screenshot evidence plus reporting supports investigation and communication. Self-healing remediation workflows add an automation option for teams that want monitoring to trigger corrective actions.
Its ecosystem supports Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, ServiceNow, SCOM, Moogsoft, VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Epic System Pulse. The product supports web, Windows, and self-hosted deployments, with hybrid deployment capabilities and monitoring across endpoints, applications, and networks. A 30-day trial is available, while purchasing requires a sales conversation rather than a public price list. Goliath Performance Monitor fits organizations that need detailed Citrix or VMware Horizon visibility and remediation. Teams seeking a broad, general-purpose DEX platform may prefer an alternative with wider scope.
