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 platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"The solution offers great visibility that allows you to track where errors originated."
"This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues."
"The product has the ability to drill down to the errors whenever we have issues."
"The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"Things are being done differently in the industry now, and many of these problems are being solved with cloud databases."
"I could not find a user-friendly interface for querying, and analytics sometimes gives the wrong results...I feel that analytics could have been better in searching and running the analytical queries."
"The product’s dashboard could be more easy to implement."
"In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages."
"The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time."
"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."
"AppDynamics Server Monitoring has room for improvement in terms of pricing. If the price could be cheaper, it would be great for both the customer and the integrator. What I'd like to see in the next release of AppDynamics Server Monitoring is a better dashboard for the customer. The dashboard should be more interactive."
"The one thing that I find it difficult in using AppDynamics is, for any new user, it's not easy for him or her to configure the transactions in AppDynamics because the UI is pretty complex. The configuration is pretty complex for a new, fresh user. They can make the UI simpler, that'll be very helpful for anyone to configure their website in AppDynamics."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"It could be more stable."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"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."
