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."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"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."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"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."
"The stability could be better."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
