We performed a comparison between Cisco Intersight and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Provides an overall view using a single portal."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."
"The tool helps to manage Cisco servers."
"Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"The product has good integration."
"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."
"It's a very complex solution."
"The usability must be better."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"The product could be easy to use."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"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."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"The user interface could be better."
"Look and feel."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
