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 can send messages to our ticketing system."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
 

Cons

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"The stability could be better."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"I have experienced stability issues approximately five or ten times."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"I was using the free, Community Edition."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"It is open source. If you want to have a subscription or official support, you can pay for it. They have different plans, which are not that expensive. The plans are based on per monitoring server, not per monitored equipment. So, it is not at all expensive, and you can also live without the support if you want a cheaper option."
"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
