"The initial setup was not complex."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."

"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"This solution is difficult to configure and the instructions are complex."

"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"The implementation can be more user-friendly."
"The clustering part of indexes can be more refined."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"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."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
