Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The product has excellent stability."
"I like running the scripts. With the help of a Python script, we deployed within the configuration and built up the code."
"It uses push technology, which pushes the changes to all relevant devices to ensure they are updated accordingly."
"The product makes the management of our environment simpler."
"The most valuable feature is the connectivity monitoring."
"Fabric suite automation is a great feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the consolidated dashboard, providing insights into parameters and overall usage of network features. It allows us to easily summarize insights through the dashboards. The solution offers automation capabilities, particularly in the context of connecting LAN sites with websites."
"Automation of the ILS."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"Sometimes the product gives us problems that require support."
"The reporting is not very intuitive and has room for improvement."
"Automation for the RMA process can be added."
"The solution needs to improve reports."
"API lacks robustness."
"One of the biggest challenges is that we aren't always able to push the configuration onto the target device. Whenever this happens, we have to do a factory reset, put on the script, and then reconfigure it again. In the next release, I would like to have a troubleshooting feature."
"Could integrate better with VMware products."
"Data Center Network Manager is a little complex because it includes a lot of hardware to be installed."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"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."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"The documentation could be improved."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
