IDERA Uptime Cloud Monitor [EOL] vs Zabbix comparison

"If you need to have more insight about your data center, Copperegg is the way to go."

"We were in the need of a fast-to-deploy solution for the external monitoring of our servers, and Copperegg gave us all the needed features plus the internal and custom metrics."

"The pricing of the product is reasonable."

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

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

"By using the solution, we moved from a reactionary approach to a proactive evaluation of our equipment/systems."

"Zabbix is good for discovery."

"I would absolutely recommend Zabbix to others."

"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."

"The solution is quite mature and very stable."

"There were none, but there were issues with performing upgrades."

"Yes, some days the service was down and we did not find an accurate response from the company."

"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."

"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."

"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."

"It could be more stable."

"The capacity planning feature and SLA monitoring need to be improved."

"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."

"This is not a product that I recommend. Instead, I recommend using SolarWindows or ManageEngine for monitoring because there are more features on Zabbix with limited usability."

"Zabbix has it all except for predictive trending."

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

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

"There are no licenses."

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

"Its licensing is fair. It seems to be much cheaper than others."

"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."

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

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