Για τη συντήρηση προϊόντων, το Kaseya IT Center τοποθετεί τα νέα αρχεία στο αποθετήριο και αυτά αντιγράφονται με διακομιστές, επομένως όταν εκτελούμε μια εντολή στην εταιρεία μας, αυτή διέρχεται από τους διακομιστές. Μερικές φορές, υπάρχουν ορισμένες περιοχές που οφείλονται σε αλλοιώσεις του προϊόντος, αλλά δεν πειράζει, καθώς το Kaseya IT Center διορθώνει το πρόβλημα γρήγορα. Στο παρελθόν, είχαμε κάποια μεγάλα προβλήματα με τους διακομιστές του προϊόντος να είναι εκτός λειτουργίας για περίπου τρεις εβδομάδες λόγω κάποιας επίθεσης ransomware που έλαβε χώρα σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Όχι μόνο η εταιρεία μας, αλλά όλοι στον κόσμο που χρησιμοποιούσαν το προϊόν επηρεάστηκαν από αυτήν. Το προϊόν έχει βελτιώσει το επίπεδο ασφαλείας του και προς το παρόν η εταιρεία μας δεν αντιμετωπίζει κανένα πρόβλημα με τη λύση. Συνιστώ το προϊόν σε άλλους που σκοπεύουν να το χρησιμοποιήσουν, καθώς είναι ένα ωραίο προϊόν που σας επιτρέπει να κάνετε εύκολα τη δουλειά σας, ενώ παράλληλα σας επιτρέπει να αναλάβετε το κομμάτι της αντιμετώπισης προβλημάτων. Βαθμολογώ το συνολικό εργαλείο με οκτώ στα δέκα.

Helps reduce response time but has room to improve customization complexity
We are not working on simple standalone solutions like Kaspersky DDoS Protection or Hybrid Cloud Security. Once you understand Zabbix, then it is easy to customize those web pages and graphs for our customer use. It is fully automated to your requirements. Zabbix is working fine with no issues, and I am satisfied with it. We have combined Zabbix and SolarWinds. The integration works fine, and it is easy to integrate Zabbix with the IT environment. We were trying to purchase MDR (Managed Detection and Response), but we are not working on that. I don't have real experience with MDR. We are using Falcon software for that. We are working with Falcon Complete, not with Sandbox. We are not using Kaspersky for business or cloud protection. For that, we are using Zabbix CrowdStrike Falcon Complete solution. I have given this review an overall rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Kaseya IT Center is a platform that is growing all the time and expanding with more scripts and new capabilities, and it is useful and very easy to learn."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"Kaseya's Synthetic Backup functionality impressed me."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It's very easy to use and manage."
"I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution."
"Scalability, everything can be monitored."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"Paessler has completely redesigned its Web interface to make it simpler to use."
"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."
"This is a stable product."
 

Cons

"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"Agent communications with the server often fails if Internet access is slow."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"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."
"I really don't like it as it generates a lot of false information."
"I'm using the free version of Zabbix, and I'd like to see more customization options, especially for setting trigger thresholds."
"It hasn't really been that stable, but I think that has a lot to do with the specs. It could be more stable."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The product is an open source and free solution."
"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."
"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."
"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"There is no license but we need to pay for support."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Zabbix?
I think Zabbix is economical, whereas SolarWinds is expensive. SolarWinds has a lot of secure features, but Zabbix is providing everything free of cost. Zabbix is economical, and you can install it...
What needs improvement with Zabbix?
I am using only Area Operations, but I don't prefer it. I installed Zabbix for the 3000 devices. Area Operations is not good.
What is your primary use case for Zabbix?
I am still working with VMware and Area Operations, but I installed Zabbix now. I think Zabbix is better than VMware Area Operations. It's really good. I'm working with both Zabbix and VMware now.
