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 product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."
"The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated."
"We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly."
"The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time."
"In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages."
"The one thing that I find it difficult in using AppDynamics is, for any new user, it's not easy for him or her to configure the transactions in AppDynamics because the UI is pretty complex. The configuration is pretty complex for a new, fresh user. They can make the UI simpler, that'll be very helpful for anyone to configure their website in AppDynamics."
"Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent."
"I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"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 event correlation could be better."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"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 gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
