We performed a comparison between HPE System Management 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."The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"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."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"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."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
"The event correlation could be better."
