ZM
It manager at PTC (Public Telecomuncation Corporation)
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.

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

"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."
"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."
"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."
"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."
"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support; it's cheaper than Datadog and ScienceLogic."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Otherwise, it's a great tool, with a nice web interface."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"I recommend this solution."
"There are a few problems but if they fix them, then Zabbix is a very good tool compared to others."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."
"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."
"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The GUI could be improved."
"Reporting is weak, if you want something better you must write your own SQL scripts."
"Performance is very important to our clients, and this solution doesn't perform very well."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"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."
"When it comes to troubleshooting or technical support, there is usually some time lag."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is open source. If you want to have a subscription or official support, you can pay for it. They have different plans, which are not that expensive. The plans are based on per monitoring server, not per monitored equipment. So, it is not at all expensive, and you can also live without the support if you want a cheaper option."
"It is reasonable."
"There are no licenses."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."
"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."
"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."
