We performed a comparison between Lenovo XClarity Controller 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."The most valuable feature of Lenovo XClarity is the ease of use because of the interface browser that is highly compatible and it has mobile web management."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to provide insights into server status and alerts."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"The solution is stable."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Lenovo XClarity can improve the dashboard integration. For example, graphs could be better. Additionally, more integration with other vendors is needed. For example, VMware has integration with a lot of vendors."
"They could enable notifications on emails and phones regarding control panel information."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"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."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
