We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager 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."It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"I like that it's stable."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"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."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"Its UI needs to be improved a little bit more so that an end-user is also able to handle it. I can handle it, but others should also be able to handle it in a better way. It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases. A lot of articles are available, but they need to be in proper documentation. For example, when you have thousands of servers that have to be monitored in different regions of the world, there should be some kind of documentation to describe how you can create proxies and add them. Sometimes, when you are using the database, it can get overloaded. When the network is growing, the number of transactions becomes very high, and the database gets overloaded. There should be information about how to reduce the load on the MySQL database, which is what Zabbix is using. The market is growing a lot, and it should be enhanced for a lot more things. We are currently bringing enhancements at our end for different use cases. For example, when dockerization is going on, how can we check the logs inside the Dockers. We should also be able to monitor and check the number of logins and add features such as SSO login and two-factor authentication as a protocol. These are the security features and concerns that we have to deal with. Currently, we are developing modules to add features to Zabbix, but they should also work on these features."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
