We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"The product is very stable."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"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."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
