We performed a comparison between DX Performance Management and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"It saves time having it all on one place, so you do not have to jump around from different tools and try to merge the data. It is already done for you."
"The ability to quickly do drag and drop customized reports for dashboards."
"The tool helps us understand network performance."
"There is a good amount of vendor certification which comes with the product. That's all factory-loaded, no need to load any custom-made files. Most of the metrics are calibrated and captured from the devices based on the defaults available from vendor certification."
"The feature that is inherent to its core, of being able to graphically represent a trend and status, is nice."
"The most valuable feature of DX Performance Management is the quick way we can collect data without putting much effort. They have a lot of customization and features with the solution internally and out of the box. We can discover the device, and start collecting information. For example, if the device is available, we can receive the CPU and memory utilization, and the interface optimization is simple and very fast to implement."
"The out-of-the-box dashboards are valuable, in terms of being able to visualize performance data in ways that we haven't in the past."
"It can be easily integrated with other systems and is powerful enough to collect data from a large number of devices."
"The product is very stable."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution could improve the database model. It is also not very good because they have a lot of interconnections with other data sources, such as NFA and VNA."
"This tool gathers so much data, which makes it hard to convert over. To upgrade it, you really need the solution backed up. That is the issue that we are facing right now."
"We experience disconnections between the solutions own components."
"It seems like we escalate more than I would like to. If anything, they should look at how the tier support goes in place."
"It needs role-based administration."
"Install is done as root, which is a security no-no, and the database IO requirements were not stated correctly, which lead to a year of instability."
"There are some areas in the technology right now, like with VMs, where we are lacking with our abilities to get inside the VM to monitor traffic within the machine."
"I have mixed feeling about the scalability. I feel like there are things which are being put into UIM right now that are not being included in Performance Center that we need to see in Performance Center. We are kind of being driven to buy UIM, and I can't justify it."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"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."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"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."
