We performed a comparison between Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's basic visibility is one of its most valuable features. So, it is a solution that is easy to use...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there."
"The vibrant dashboards are valuable."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"The features I have found most valuable are log searching and log analytics, both of which are quick features."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"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."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration with other solutions."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."
"The end-to-end visibility is lacking because Splunk cannot directly monitor network devices."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."
"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."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"The stability could be better."
"The user interface could be better."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
