Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The product can scale."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"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."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"It could be more stable."
