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

"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"Health and communication links availability."
"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."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system.​"
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
 

Cons

"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"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."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I'm using the free version of Zabbix, and I'd like to see more customization options, especially for setting trigger thresholds."
"I have experienced stability issues approximately five or ten times."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"The documentation could be improved."
"It could be more stable."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The price of this product is fair."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."
"There is no license but we need to pay for support."
"The tool's licensing is good."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
