We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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."Good design and easy to use once implemented."
"The solution has been stable in our usage."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"Elastic Observability is an excellent product for monitoring and visibility, but it lacks predictive analytics. Most solutions are aligned with the AIOps requirements, but this piece is missing in Elastic and should be included."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
