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 most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"Health and communication links availability."
"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."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"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."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
