We performed a comparison between Tanium 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."For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"The security features are very valuable."
"Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"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."
"The product is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"The event correlation could be better."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
