NetBrain vs Zabbix comparison

"NetBrain is a very simple tool."

"Enables maps to be drawn out."

"Chain management is a good feature. I don't get it on other solutions."

"A reliable, time-saving tool for providing accurate layer 2 and layer 3 network mappings."

"This product has good network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities."

"Zabbix has high scalability. I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."

"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."

"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."

"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."

"The most valuable feature is monitoring."

"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."

"Each device needs to be configured to allow NetBrain to poll for the information it needs, which can be very time-consuming for a large network."

"The IP interface brief isn't consistent."

"It would be nice if the setup was a little simpler. Also, if the solution could provide more training materials for new people coming into our company so they can quickly learn how to use the functionalities."

"Support needs to improve for the installed product and some of the reporting could be more flexible to provide more complete cataloging."

"The solution could integrate more automation."

"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."

"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."

"The product could be more secure and more stable."

"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."

"The performance reporting could be improved."

"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."

"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."

"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."

"Licensing is based on a per-device basis, which means that it can get very expensive if you have a large number of devices."

"The product is expensive, but less expensive than some of the competition and worth the price."

"This solution is open-source and free to use."

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

"It’s free of cost."

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

"There are no licenses."

"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."

"We are using the free, open-source version."

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