We performed a comparison between HPE System Management and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This is a good product and I recommend it."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The calculations part is the most valuable."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Health and communication links availability."
"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."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"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 performance reporting could be improved."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"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."
