Zabbix Reviews

Zabbix offers open-source benefits, allowing users to access all features without cost. Its standout features include auto-discovery of network devices and items, low-level discovery, scalability, and flexibility. Users value the customizable dashboards, templates, alerting systems, and integration capabilities. Zabbix efficiently monitors virtual machines, network traffic, and performance metrics. With its powerful API and robust documentation, users can easily integrate and automate tasks, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of IT infrastructure and devices.

• "Zabbix is fully scalable, with no limitations in that regard."
• "The alerting systems are very good in Zabbix, and it has helped us to reduce time for reaction."
• "Zabbix has high scalability. I would rate it a nine out of ten."

Zabbix needs enhancements in the user interface, dashboard, and reporting features. Configuration and deployment are often complex, while the documentation could be clearer. Integration with other systems, support for modern workloads, and automation capabilities require development. There's a desire for more prebuilt templates, better predictive trending, and improved security features. Performance issues on large-scale environments are noted. Users highlight customization challenges, particularly for non-technical staff, and seek more AI and ML capabilities.

• "The potential and customization is a little difficult because you have to learn scripts."
• "The reporting is lacking because this is an open-source tool, and nowadays, management's expectation is that the reports should be of high quality and every information should be presented in a concise manner."
• "The initial setup could be complex if you don't have templates. If creating templates from scratch, it's quite difficult, but if you are using already pre-created templates and setups for your needs, it looks very good."
