"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"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."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
