A highly scalable and stable solution that provides excellent features and can be integrated with any product
The support team is more into R&D. They're not focused on support. The vendor lets the partners provide support for the solution. Partners must have StableNet-certified engineers. Complex problems arise for complex installations. When a problem is deep, it takes a lot of time to resolve it. It goes to the R&D and development teams. They do solve it, but the time taken could be reduced.

Helps reduce response time but has room to improve customization complexity
We are not working on simple standalone solutions like Kaspersky DDoS Protection or Hybrid Cloud Security. Once you understand Zabbix, then it is easy to customize those web pages and graphs for our customer use. It is fully automated to your requirements. Zabbix is working fine with no issues, and I am satisfied with it. We have combined Zabbix and SolarWinds. The integration works fine, and it is easy to integrate Zabbix with the IT environment. We were trying to purchase MDR (Managed Detection and Response), but we are not working on that. I don't have real experience with MDR. We are using Falcon software for that. We are working with Falcon Complete, not with Sandbox. We are not using Kaspersky for business or cloud protection. For that, we are using Zabbix CrowdStrike Falcon Complete solution. I have given this review an overall rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."
"The solution is stable."
"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."
"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."
"The best feature is that Zabbix can report everything, and everything in Zabbix is free."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support; it's cheaper than Datadog and ScienceLogic."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"The monitoring capabilities of the product are excellent."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The initial setup was not complex."
 

Cons

"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."
"The solution is expensive."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"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."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."
"Zabbix and Grafana are both open source products, we only needed to go to their website and download the application and we began to use them. The solutions are free."
"The tool's licensing is good."
"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."
"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’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."
