Alluvio Aternity and Zabbix are both robust monitoring solutions, but they cater to different needs and audiences. Users show a preference for Zabbix due to its comprehensive features despite higher alignment towards Alluvio Aternity in terms of pricing and customer support.
Features: Alluvio Aternity is praised for its detailed incident monitoring, user-experience data, and in-depth analytics. Zabbix stands out with its extensive alerting features, customization options, and scalability. Users find Zabbix's versatility superior but value Alluvio Aternity's depth in user-experience metrics.
Room for Improvement: Users suggest that Alluvio Aternity could enhance its integration with third-party tools, improve the speed of data processing, and expand its analytics capabilities. Zabbix usage highlights the need for a more intuitive configuration process, better official documentation, and simplification of its advanced features.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Alluvio Aternity users appreciate its straightforward deployment model, responsive customer service, and user-friendly interface. Zabbix's deployment is often seen as complex, requiring a steep learning curve and advanced configuration skills, although it offers extensive community support.
Pricing and ROI: Alluvio Aternity users feel that the setup costs are justified by the ROI and the value provided by their comprehensive monitoring solution. Zabbix users note that while the setup costs can be lower, achieving good ROI requires significant customization and expertise.
I would rate the technical support from Riverbed as nine out of ten.
Riverbed's support is good in terms of response time and knowledge.
It is so straightforward that I have never had to use the support.
Alluvio Aternity and Nexthink are both scalable solutions that work well with large organizations of over 100,000 users globally.
Zabbix has high scalability.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
Zabbix is good and scalable, but not as fast as SolarWinds.
Stability is not the deciding factor; it is more about how a tool fits the use case and integrates at an enterprise level.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
I think the stability of Zabbix is around five to six on a scale of ten, where ten is the best and one is the worst.
Zabbix is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems with Zabbix itself.
The integration of AI agents could enhance these tools further, replacing traditional agents and plugins.
If one agent can do end-user activity monitoring and act as an EDR, then it would be better for the end-user, allowing easy avoidance of installing multiple agents on their machines.
The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best.
The potential and customization is a little difficult because you have to learn scripts.
Riverbed is costly in the Indian market
Zabbix is providing everything free of cost.
It is literally free.
The reporting part of Alluvio Aternity is good; it is granular, user-friendly, and easy to use.
Alluvio Aternity provides predictive analysis and trend analysis for IT teams to evaluate the performance of hardware and applications.
If disk usage surpasses a threshold, say 70%, I receive alerts and can take proactive action.
The alerting systems are very good in Zabbix, and it has helped us to reduce time for reaction.
People want to save costs, which is why they install Zabbix, but the reporting functionality is not properly developed.

Reviews from Real Users
Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Aternity users.
PeerSpot user Ryan P., Head of Cyber Security Engineering & Oversight at a media company, says, "The most valuable thing that you get from Aternity is very broad visibility. You get visibility of your network, of your endpoints, of your software usage, your application performance, capacity, in one pane of glass. We had 20 to 30 IT tools, including application performance monitoring, network monitoring, security, endpoint detection, network protection, capacity management, service management — every kind of monitoring you can imagine. But Aternity was always the first place that I turned for anything, because you can see everything in it."
An Endpoint Administration Manager at a financial services firm mentions, “It gives you the ability to filter the comparison by geography, industry, or company size.” He also adds, “We have absolutely seen ROI. It's really given us a very high level of visibility that we've just not ever had.”
A Regional Network Manager at a recruiting/HR firm comments, "Aternity provides metrics about actual employee experience of all business-critical apps, rather than just a few. It does some out-of-the-box monitoring for the Office suite, but you can create custom monitoring for any of your applications, whether a web client or a desktop application."
A Sr. IT Manager at a manufacturing company states, "The most valuable feature is the application performance troubleshooting because Aternity is able to provide the performance from the end-user perspective. It doesn't just give the standard application logon time, etc., rather it's also able to measure the performance inside the application, the performance of specific transactions in the application, and break it down into three elements: the client time, the network time, and the server time. This gives us a lot of insights into what we need to focus on to improve the performance of an application."
