Sentiment score

Zabbix is praised for its scalability, distributed architecture, and efficiency, despite needing robust databases for larger deployments.
The Claroty Platform offers a scalable solution that accommodates both cloud and on-premise deployments.
I would rate the scalability as eight or nine as the only issue faced was with login challenges, which could be improved.
The way the Claroty Platform has considered and included the active scanning part has made it quite scalable.
Zabbix has high scalability.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
I would rate its scalability ten out of ten.

Zabbix is reliable and stable, with minimal issues; users value its low resource use and effective monitoring.
The platform runs with minimal delays and effectively manages workloads without intruding on the network.
Overall, I would rate the stability as eight out of ten.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
Zabbix is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems with Zabbix itself.
 

Room For Improvement

The Claroty Platform requires improvements in detection, integration, UI, pricing, documentation, training, and vulnerability management for better performance.
Zabbix users seek UI improvements, better documentation, enhanced reporting, security, automation, integration, and modern workload adaptations.
The Claroty Platform identifies effectively but sometimes identifies many CVEs which might not be the actual issue in certain scenarios.
This should be a priority for vendors as they invest in AI-enabled solutions because AI security is a concern for everyone.
Additionally, reducing the overall cost of hardware and software solutions would be beneficial.
The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best.
 

Setup Cost

Claroty Platform is expensive yet valued for free deployment, with costs justified by its robust security features.
Zabbix, a cost-effective open-source solution, offers free access without hidden fees, making it popular for enterprise adoption.
One unique aspect of Claroty is that users get all the deployments for free.
I would agree that the solution is expensive.
The cost of the Claroty Platform is comparatively high.
 

Valuable Features

Claroty Platform enhances network management with real-time monitoring and threat detection, offering secure access and comprehensive vulnerability insights.
Zabbix provides open-source monitoring with customizable features, strong scalability, and robust support, ideal for cost-effective IT infrastructure management.
Additionally, their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments.
They offer threat detection, asset management, vulnerability management, and remote access, which makes them the sole vendor in the OT security space to offer all three services.
The ability to detect and classify assets, assess vulnerabilities, and manage patches and updates effectively is highly beneficial.
If disk usage surpasses a threshold, say 70%, I receive alerts and can take proactive action.
Zabbix has a lot of features, including monitoring, status updates, and collecting information telemetry from storages and servers as well.
