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."
"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."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"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."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
