We performed a comparison between CA Unified Communications Monitor and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved."
"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"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."
"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. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
