Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

Zabbix and Marvis Virtual Network Assistant compete in network management. While Zabbix is more cost-effective and offers extensive support, Marvis is often preferred for its cutting-edge features, which justify its higher price.

Features: Zabbix offers robust monitoring capabilities, flexibility in network environment adaptation, and technical customization. Marvis excels with AI-driven analytics, automation, and proactive issue resolution.

Room for Improvement: Zabbix could enhance ease of use, streamline deployment processes, and offer more intuitive interfaces. Marvis might improve cost transparency, provide additional support for legacy systems, and expand integration capabilities with third-party tools.

Used for troubleshooting and receiving real-time alerts and works on artificial intelligence

I always recommend Marvis to every customer because it requires no additional direct involvement. Marvis has been developed well using AI and machine learning technology. Its AI engine updates itself regularly, which is a beneficial feature. I request that Juniper integrate a cloud identity engine and simplify the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Services integration with the SRX hardware firewall. Additionally, the SRX firewall needs a more robust graphical user interface. Currently, we can only configure the SRX using the CLI; if a wrong command is entered, restoring it cannot be easy. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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

"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant uses AI to find problems or to get information from devices."

"If you ask any questions about Marvis, it will respond immediately and use some solution. It will be very easy and save you time."

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."

"The most valuable function for me is the auto-discovery of interfaces in devices. When you integrate devices into the tool, it automatically finds the interfaces, which is very helpful for my job. Integration and configuration run smoothly in my experience with Juniper and Aruba devices."

"The most valuable feature is monitoring."

"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."

"I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients."

"The best feature is that Zabbix can report everything, and everything in Zabbix is free."

"The initial setup was not complex."

Cons

"It would be a good idea to integrate the solution to support other vendors besides Juniper."

"It should add real-time application visibility."

"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."

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

"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."

"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."

"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."

"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."

"The server monitoring could be better."

"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is not an expensive solution."

"It’s free of cost."

"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."

"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"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."

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