We performed a comparison between Azure Cost Management and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Microsoft, VMware and others in Cloud Cost Management."The tool helps with budgeting and reporting. It notifies us whenever we cross the threshold."
"I like the granularity of the tools."
"The best thing about Azure Cost Management is the cost analysis functionality because it provides regular alerts."
"The product provides visibility into what we are consuming."
"The cost analysis and exportability are the most valuable features of the solution."
"We find the analytics available via this solution to be very useful, as it allows us to easily see detailed cost information for each of our various subscription elements."
"I like the fact that you can set alerts on the predicted cost in Azure Cost Management."
"Good control features and user interface."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"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."
"It's a flexible solution."
"There are significant issues with Power BI integration at the moment, particularly with built-in applications for course management. Multiple features don't allow for efficient report generation. This is one primary concern. The second issue relates to reporting, even when using Power BI templates for course management. There are problems with data import that require manual entry. So, these are the two main challenges I'm currently facing. Another matter to consider is the removal of the markup option for partners. I'm not sure if it will be added back, but it used to allow marking up Azure usage for enterprise customers. I'm uncertain if there's an alternative way to achieve the same function. Partners need to mark up services when selling to customers, and it's currently unavailable for some products or services."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"Be wary of unnecessary costs."
"We would like to see more flexibility added to this solution, such as being able to compare reservations, or compare costs across multiple financial years and report on the reasons for deviation in spend."
"I would like the developers to add more features about migration, like how much it would cost to migrate from, let's say, AWS to Azure."
"Cost Management could always provide more details. The more information, the better. They just need to build on what they have now."
"The solution could use automatic emailing. That would help improve the product a lot, at least for our purposes."
"I would like to have added to Azure Cost Management, drill down features from within the cost analysis reporting."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"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."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
