Pros
"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud.""Has really nice roll-up dashboards.""Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution.""Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good.""The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

More Dell CloudIQ Pros →

"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix.""I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP.""The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring.""The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring.""The product is very stable.""There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on.""Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features.""The most valuable feature is service assurance."

Cons
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved.""The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved.""Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell.""In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range.""PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"Documentation terminology could be improved.""Zabbix technical support is sold separately.""We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes.""To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial.""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.""The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes.""The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly.""The documentation could be improved."

    I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want using these, but they require quite some expertise before you can use them. Then there are the ones that are not open source, the enterprise softwares and cost you some money, but on the other hand, they are extremely easy to set-up and learn. You can have them up and running in a matter of minutes. And then there are those which are completely cloud based. They can be free of cost or charge some money depending on the software. The good thing about these is that you don’t have to install any extra software, and it can be managed completely online but then again these have limited features and you cannot exploit them to the full extent as you can do with the open-source and to some extent the enterprise software, so I won’t suggest you to use these, because these are generally not the complete solutions and require other support software to achieve the same. Below I have listed the outstanding pros and cons of the various Network analyzers that you can look into Nagios Pros: Nagios offers an extensive set of collector plug-ins that allows users to gather performance and availability data from a broad range of operating systems, including  Windows and Netware Nagios… Read more →
