"It is stable."
"Auto scanning is most valuable. It looks for rogue devices on your network."
"The installation and configuration process are easy."
"The interactive mapping interface for scrolling, zooming, and drilling down on an element to learn about a network issue is good. When we see a network there will sometimes be a spot that has one link. You can go into a particular part of the topology map, scroll in, and see exactly which module it is."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Pricing is too high relative to how many devices we use. The price list is not linear to number of devices."
"Users want SMS available via Whatsapp Gold. They don't want to go through third party SMS servers. The solution should work to make this possible."
"Regional product team support is not very good."
"The product is old and not updated."
"We can never achieve or get a good picture of the network topology."
"I would like to see them do an enhancement to the application monitoring. A lot of other products do better application monitoring so they should do some improvements to the application monitoring."
"The technical support does not bother to respond."
"You have to invest a few days to become an expert in this solution."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"The event correlation could be better."
"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."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
