Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"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."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
