A powerful service that is very stable and scalable

It's a very powerful service, you have to use your training and understand how to work it. After that, it's very easy to collect and to use. It may be hard to use for the administrators. It's like a Ferrari, if you're a very good driver you'll go to 300 but you have to know how to drive it. If you have a Ferrari but you don't know how to use it, it's not going to be good. Also, it's very important to understand what the customer needs to decide on what kind of products you are going to use, and what product and what solution to implement. I would rate the solution nine out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My experience with technical support has been perfect."

"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."

"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."

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

"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."

"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."

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

"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."

"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."

More Zabbix pros

Cons

"The presentation of the features can be improved. It can be more user-friendly for the visual part of the portal and to allow the customer to be able to use."

"The user interface could be better."

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

"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."

"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."

"The performance reporting could be improved."

"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."

"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."

"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."

More Zabbix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is expensive."

"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."

"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."

"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."

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

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

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

"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."

"We are using the free, open-source version."
