Dell CloudIQ vs Zabbix comparison

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

"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."

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

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."

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

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

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."

"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."

"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."

"The solution is stable."

"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."

"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."

"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."

"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."

"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."

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

"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

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

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

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

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

"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."

"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."

"Look and feel."

"​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​"

"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."

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

"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."

"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."

"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."

"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."

"Zabbix is open-source so if one wishes to implement it in-house, they must have qualified professionals to set up and optimize databases, Linux/Unix OS, PHP, Apache, and depending on what is monitored, a full-stack network and systems administrator may be needed."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

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

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

"There are no licenses."

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