"The product is very stable."
"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."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
"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."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"Look and feel."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"The stability could be better."
