We performed a comparison between NetCrunch 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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"Look and feel."
