I have been talking to our CompuWare rep looking at the Client Vantage
Agentless product.  You would need the SSL module, Citrix Module and a
Tier 1 device.  Optionally you could get the web analysis module if you
have more than a couple of pages on your SG/AG or WI box that you want
to analyze.  It is not cheap and is north of 100K.  However, it gives a
window into the end user experience of  users outside your firewall
coming into your network, gives you a break down of exactly where in the
process the user is experiencing slowness and other factors.

CompuWare has a comprehensive line of performance monitoring and
profiling products called Vantage. CompuWare Application Vantage
includes the ability to baseline an app's performance and then allow you
to select various performance characteristics like bandwidth and latency
and it will tell you what kind of response you can expect. It can even
loop through the parameters and tell you how much bandwidth is required
for maximum performance without wasting money on too large of a circuit.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix end-user performance monitoring

 

Happy Friday! We have been tasked with selecting and deploying software
that will enable us to monitor the end-user experience. We are about to
make some major changes to our primary application that is delivered to
the users over Citrix and we want to establish both the application
performance baseline and the end-user experience. We are currently
looking at NGC Chroniker and Symantec i3. Does anyone have any
experience good or bad with either of these products? What about
recommendations for others?

 

Thanks!
