We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"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."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
