We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager 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."The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"I like that it's stable."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"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."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
