"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."

"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."

"Zabbix is fully scalable, with no limitations in that regard."

"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."

"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."

"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."

"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."

"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."

"Zabbix is scalable."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."

"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."

"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."

"The user interface could be better."

"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 are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."

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

"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."

"The stability could be better."

"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."

"The solution is a bit expensive because the annual license does not include new features that are priced as add-ons."

"The product is an open source and free solution."

"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."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

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

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

"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
