We performed a comparison between SolarWinds Pingdom and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"It's a flexible solution."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The event correlation could be better."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
