It consolidates all logs into one place and provides required features and functionalities

Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to do RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue.

"The solution aggregates all event streams, so that if there are any issues, it's all in the same interface."

"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."

"It can send messages to our ticketing system."

"The calculations part is the most valuable."

"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."

Cons

"No ability to encapsulate a query or a filter, and communicate or share that among the team."

"Every once in a while, our IBM cloud operational implementation gets behind. Sometimes, when we have a customer event, we do not get access to the latest logs for about 30 minutes, particularly for the sites that are heavily utilized. This is clearly not good. It is impossible to RCA when you can't look at the logs that pertain to the time period in which the event occurred. It could be more of an operational problem than a feature problem. I don't have visibility about whether it is a LogDNA issue or just an operational issue."

"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."

"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."

"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."

"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."

"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."

"Look and feel."

"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."

More Zabbix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."

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

"It is reasonable."

"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."

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

"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

"There is no license but we need to pay for support."
