Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"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."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"It could be more stable."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
