Goliath Performance Monitor vs Zabbix comparison

"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."

"Offers a diversity of features."

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

"The solution is quite mature and very stable."

"It's a flexible solution."

"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."

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

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

"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."

"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."

"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."

"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."

"The product could be more secure and more stable."

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

"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."

"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."

"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."

"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."

"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 price seems reasonable."

"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."

"This solution is open-source and free to use."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"There are no licenses."

"The tool's licensing is good."

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."
