We performed a comparison between AppDynamics 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 release management capabilities are great."
"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."
"The most valuable feature is the detailed statistics, like the consumer count, for the ActiveMQ server."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
"AppDynamics' best feature is automation - for example, when I add a note, it can understand the data automatically."
"It is a wonderful monitoring tool that manages various aspects such as system resources (CPU, RAM), mobile performance, and infrastructure monitoring."
"The features that I like best are the dashboard and Business Journey."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"The solution is stable."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"The QA and test environment need improvement."
"AppDynamics is dealing with a lot of products and technologies, so we need to have clear documentation."
"I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"There could log management features included in the product."
"The solution's user interface should be improved."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"Look and feel."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"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."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
