We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management 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."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"It provides a comprehensive monitoring solution for our open systems."
"It is reliable when it comes to monitoring."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"It is very scalable."
"Monitoring infrastructure and business applications are the most valuable features."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Within this product there are individual probes, and each of these probes doesn't always necessarily output the same kind of information into our database. So when we try to collect what's called QoS data, from one probe we might get a ton of information, lots of good stuff that we can use in our database, but then from another probe, we might not get so much or we might not be able to pull the things that we want to."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"There is also room for improvement in the reporting. It is not really good enough, according to our customers. So what we now usually do is use Power BI to get them the kinds of reports they want."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"Making a GUI with criteria such as selection by robot/hub/probe etc."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"They need to continue to advance the filter capabilities, and provide more input fields."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
