We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum 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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"Scalable and stable network monitoring tool with a simple setup."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"I can use it to detect whenever things go wrong on my network."
"The most valuable feature is automatic discovery."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The Global Collections are what I found to be most valuable. With the Global Collections, you're able to organize and categorize devices into "folders," or functional groups and categories, so that it doesn't matter which SpectroSERVER those devices are on."
"Some of the most valuable features are it's highly scalable, the carrier is great, and if something has SNMP, it can monitor it. It's a great network fault management solution."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The calculations part is the most valuable."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"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."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"From the users perspective the looks and feel of dashboards of Spectrum would be easier to use and for understanding as APM will be in 10.5 version which we saw in CA World."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"Event correlation only works on one server, rather than on all of the servers in the same cluster environment."
"The interface is not nice and needs to be improved."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
