Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The alerts are the most valuable feature."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The most valuable feature is log reporting."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"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."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring's data analytics can be improved by including suggestions for various types of continuous monitoring."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"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."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"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."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
"The stability could be better."
