We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can see each session, end-to-end, and discover issues."
"The solution has a very good user interface."
"During the building of a system that is new, there are a lot of bugs. Being in the cloud it is very difficult, sometimes, to diagnose where the issues are. Dynatrace gives us that deep insight into errors."
"Service discovery with artificial intelligence automatic anomaly root cause detection, and problems replay."
"Metrics for CPU, memory, network, and disk. It provides extensive end-user, application, and infrastructure platform and technology support, including mobile, web browser, Java, .NET, PHP, servers, networks, and mainframe."
"It's great tool for building dashboards related to application performance."
"The benefit for our company is that we have one direction and one main solution."
"The web dashboard is very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"I do not like the performance of the UI. It is really slow."
"They could spend more time and effort in creating brand awareness."
"The con of Dynatrace is that, at times, because it has so much information, it becomes difficult to see the root cause of your problem, and then you have to dig around to find the root cause."
"I would like to see single pane monitoring."
"On the side of the end user experience, I would suggest adding a new service for analyzing the backtrace of users."
"The initial setup was challenging for us. However, it was complex until you grasped the nuances of the product and the building blocks."
"Sometimes we have issues with the code on their side. We like to get it fixed."
"I would like a testing module focused on quality gates."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"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."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
