We performed a comparison between Splunk APM 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 volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The most valuable features are troubleshooting and optimizing application performance."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"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."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"Primarily, the logs in Slunk APM can be challenging to navigate and comprehend, making it difficult to understand the details within each log. Compared to other tools like LogDNA, which are more intuitive in this aspect, the logs in Slunk APM can require more effort to understand."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"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."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
