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."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The solution is stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"The event correlation could be better."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
