We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has always been a stable solution."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"The user interface could be better."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
