We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It is a powerful tool that allows users to collect and transform logs as needed, enabling flexible visualization and analysis."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"Elastic Observability is reactive rather than proactive. It should act as an ITSM tool and be able to create tickets and alerts on Jira."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"The event correlation could be better."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
