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.

Enables seamless global client monitoring with reliable remote connectivity
I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients. Many tools that I require for system maintenance are included. I can easily monitor all of my clients throughout the world I did not give much thought to it, however, improvements could be made to Zabbix.…

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."
"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."
"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."
"I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
 

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."
"I have experienced stability issues approximately five or ten times."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."
"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"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."
"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."

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…
