Dell CloudIQ vs Zabbix comparison

"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."

"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."

"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."

"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."

"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."

"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is monitoring."

"The most valuable feature is service assurance."

"The solution allows for good integration with other products."

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."

"The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best."

"When it comes to troubleshooting or technical support, there is usually some time lag."

"The user interface could be better."

"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."

"Its UI needs to be improved a little bit more so that an end-user is also able to handle it. I can handle it, but others should also be able to handle it in a better way. It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases. A lot of articles are available, but they need to be in proper documentation. For example, when you have thousands of servers that have to be monitored in different regions of the world, there should be some kind of documentation to describe how you can create proxies and add them. Sometimes, when you are using the database, it can get overloaded. When the network is growing, the number of transactions becomes very high, and the database gets overloaded. There should be information about how to reduce the load on the MySQL database, which is what Zabbix is using. The market is growing a lot, and it should be enhanced for a lot more things. We are currently bringing enhancements at our end for different use cases. For example, when dockerization is going on, how can we check the logs inside the Dockers. We should also be able to monitor and check the number of logins and add features such as SSO login and two-factor authentication as a protocol. These are the security features and concerns that we have to deal with. Currently, we are developing modules to add features to Zabbix, but they should also work on these features."

"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."

"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."

"The stability could be better."

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."

"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The product is an open source and free solution."

"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."

"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."

"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."

"There are no licenses."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."
