Lenovo XClarity Controller vs Zabbix comparison

"The remote management capability was also good."

"The Lenovo configuration tool helps us with the computation of the RAID Controller and the installation of the operating system."

"I would rate Lenovo XClarity Controller ten out of ten."

"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to provide insights into server status and alerts."

"The most valuable feature of Lenovo XClarity is the ease of use because of the interface browser that is highly compatible and it has mobile web management."

"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."

"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."

"The product is very stable."

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

"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."

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

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

"The pricing of the product is reasonable."

"They could enable notifications on emails and phones regarding control panel information."

"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller. However, software issues are managed and processed with the help of the Lenovo technical team, and they sort them out."

"Lenovo XClarity can improve the dashboard integration. For example, graphs could be better. Additionally, more integration with other vendors is needed. For example, VMware has integration with a lot of vendors."

"It worked very slowly. It was not well on performance."

"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller."

"The solution needs to add remote features."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."

"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."

"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."

"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."

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

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

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

"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

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

"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."

"The tool's licensing is good."
