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."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"The product is very stable."
"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 most valuable feature is monitoring."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"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."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"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."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"The user interface could be better."
"The server monitoring could be better."
