We performed a comparison between SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They have instructional videos and other information available on the site to assist you with learning it."
"For managing the traffic, it provides you a response about whether the traffic is down, up, or heavy, which is a very powerful feature. It has a good response time. We have been using this solution for many years, and we don't have any problem with this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the alarm that is set up to trigger based on bandwidth utilization."
"The dashboard alerts me when a critical device goes off the network."
"The most valuable features are the bandwidth analyzer, the monitoring, the network analyzer, it has overall good performance, and an easy deployment."
"It is great at telling you if your devices are working and it keeps an eye on your network's overall performance."
"The performance analysis is a valuable feature. With the performance analyzer, we can see the realtime monitoring, the realtime performance, and historical performance on specific components like virtualization storage, CPU, servers and network equipment."
"What people found most valuable in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer is its report customization feature."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"NTA's documentation for the implementation phase needs some enhancement."
"Technical support could be improved with quicker response times."
"SolarWinds' technical support is ok, but it could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"They should work on the configuration of the Log Analyzer feature."
"The licensing should be more realistic so that we can adjust the number of nodes according to my needs, rather than in fixed increments."
"There is room for improvement when it comes to the traffic generated by the analyzer and the analysis of that traffic."
"One area that we struggle with is the price. Because the price of this solution is so high, we are largely unable to introduce it into the local market, and only the banking sector has the means to afford it."
"It is a scalable solution, but it is costly to scale. Therefore, I would rate scalability at eight out of ten."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
