We performed a comparison between Splunk APM 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."The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"The most valuable feature is dashboard creation."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"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."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"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."
"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."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"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."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
