Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"Look and feel."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
