We performed a comparison between Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The product retains a lot of log data for subsequent analysis."
"The vibrant dashboards are valuable."
"Great monitoring of network devices."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"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."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
"The solution should have more sensors regarding fiber intelligence for security measures."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"The product collects a lot of data but it does not assure that it collects all of it."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"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."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"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."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
"It could be more stable."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
