An excellent product with an expensive license
The product is excellent. However, the license is expensive.
ASM Naushad Alam - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes
We have not yet purchased the commercial version so have a lack of technical ability. We do not yet fully know the key points or key features of the solution. We just use what we use along with WhatsUp Gold. Based on our use only, stability is rated a seven out of ten.

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 use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"The best feature is that Zabbix can report everything, and everything in Zabbix is free."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"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 flexibility of this solution is amazing."
 

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."
"​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​"
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"I'm using the free version of Zabbix, and I'd like to see more customization options, especially for setting trigger thresholds."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is expensive."
"Its licensing is fair. It seems to be much cheaper than others."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"The tool's licensing is good."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
"It’s free of cost."

What do you like most about Zabbix?
The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration.
What needs improvement with Zabbix?
For me, Zabbix is very straightforward. I cannot think of any improvements needed. It's a very mature product. The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the...
