We performed a comparison between ControlUp 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."ControlUp is beneficial as it provides a web interface through which you can access all your infrastructure—servers, devices, and VDI infrastructure—all on the same platform. It supports gathering all infrastructure components in a single, unified dashboard. This helps you identify performance issues or high resource utilization, allowing quick troubleshooting. I appreciate the solid interface that ControlUp offers."
"It shows you so many details of what's going on in that log-on that, if there's a problem, you can identify it in five minutes."
"Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI."
"ControlUp has some good functionalities, such as remotely pushing scripts in the device through the tool."
"ControlUp has an easy installation process."
"The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."
"When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"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."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version."
"Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues."
"The most common complaint that I have heard, at least within our organization, is about reporting. They have their own reporting. It's just that it doesn't yet include everything that you can look at within the application. You can only report on specific metrics or collections."
"There was some lag earlier, and reports pulled from the dashboard would sometimes be half an hour old. But now, the information provides real-time status, which is greatly appreciated. Overall, I've seen improvement in the product."
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."
"Most reports give information about the top 100 devices, but not all of the devices."
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."
"It could be more stable."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"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."
"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 product could be more secure and more stable."
