SolarWinds is not purpose-built for Citrix workspaces and hence, provides only basic metrics in the above areas. User complaints are often vague, saying "Citrix is slow" and administrators have to find the root-cause: is it really a Citrix issue, is it a network issue, is it due to the virtualization platform, or due to storage? This requires specialized visibility into the Citrix stack and the underlying infrastructure supporting Citrix. Citrix administrators need help in troubleshooting performance issues.Hence, Citrix user experience must be monitored proactively so that administrators can be alerted well in advance before users complain.
Other than SolarWinds, PRTG Network Monitor delivers all monitoring functionality in a single application from network, IT infrastructure, storage systems, cloud applications, virtual systems, databases, and applications to medical devices, CCTV systems, industrial environments, and more.
In fact, the biggest challenge in a Citrix environment is to monitor user experience. Complex IT environments require simple solutions to maintain an overview. We just recently 'upgraded' to DPA (from Ignite) and now. We also have been using DatabaseMonitor (IgniteFree) for non-mission-critical database monitoring. Using the free version has led to several of our additional annual purchases. Citrix monitoring is not just about monitoring CPU, memory, and disk resources. We also are fond of the free /limited version for our non-critical environments.These templates are based mainly on Windows performance counters and WMI. This is an advanced monitoring network that reduces outages and improves overall performance. SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor also known as NPM is a popular alternate to PRTG. To provide insights into Citrix performance, SolarWinds includes ready-made templates. SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor FREE TRIAL.
SolarWinds monitors resource usage of all the Citrix tiers.
