ZM
Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.
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

"The technical support is good."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
 

Cons

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"I'm using the free version of Zabbix, and I'd like to see more customization options, especially for setting trigger thresholds."
"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."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"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."

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...
