We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"DX UIM is scalable."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"Easy admin functionality. You can quickly do all the admin functionality without reducing cycles."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"I'd also like to see more probes. More probes in the sense that we were coming across devices that we're expected to monitor and manage for which, out of the box, there isn't a nice, clean solution. There are probes that are dedicated for certain devices and certain device types, which is great. But then there are times we come across nuanced products that we have to develop our own solution for. There are probes that exist in there that allow us to make a customized solution, but it takes a lot more time."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"Stability."
"I'm very happy with DX Unified Infrastructure Management, but what could be improved is its user interface because currently, it has many wide spaces. All the information you need is in DX Unified Infrastructure Management, and it's a reliable tool, and though that's more important than the gaps in the user interface being smaller or wider, those gaps still need some improvement. I know the team is working on it. My company had some backend problems with DX Unified Infrastructure Management in the past that have now been solved. The setup for the tool also needs improvement because it's complex. Another room for improvement in DX Unified Infrastructure Management is its technical support because it's sometimes not as knowledgeable or responsive. What I'm suggesting to be added to the tool is an open-standard ELK Elastic-based database where you can put in all data, so that you can use the data in other systems as well."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"The event correlation could be better."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
