Featured Reviews

Saktid Devi Jeyakaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers real-time alerting and dashboards are great for performance hubs of the database
It's primarily for CPU utilization and resource monitoring. Vulnerability scanning falls under OCI Cloud Guard, so it's related to security concerns. Some people might prefer using a third-party tool for more enhanced features. However, I think Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service could be improved to reduce the need for third-party connectivity. So overall, third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service. OCI needs more research and development to understand why clients choose third-party tools like Splunk or QRadar over internal monitoring solutions. There must be some areas where third-party tools are better. OCI could analyze this and improve its service.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"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."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
More Zabbix pros
 

Cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"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."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
More Zabbix cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."
"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
