Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Enables seamless global client monitoring with reliable remote connectivity
I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients. Many tools that I require for system maintenance are included. I can easily monitor all of my clients throughout the world I did not give much thought to it, however, improvements could be made to Zabbix.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The resource usage, CPU utilization, disk usage, network monitoring, network performance, and alerting features are invaluable."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
 

Cons

"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"I have experienced stability issues approximately five or ten times."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"Zabbix and Grafana are both open source products, we only needed to go to their website and download the application and we began to use them. The solutions are free."
"I was using the free, Community Edition."
"It is reasonable."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"The product is an open source and free solution."
