Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The machine learning feature is valuable."

"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."

"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."

"The initial setup was not complex."

"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."

"The solution is stable."

"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."

"I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution."

"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."

Cons

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."

"For us, the initial setup was complex"

"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."

"Documentation terminology could be improved."

"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."

"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."

"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."

"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."

"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
