We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The real value is our being able to pull all the historic data that we need in order to gather every little metric and nuanced piece of information from a given device, a given piece of infrastructure, in order for us to generate alerts."
"You can scale it pretty much however way you want to as long as you have the servers to throw at it."
"Having all of our information within one tool set; our alerts, our monitors, and the things that our operations team needs to function."
"It is easy to implement but requires good planning."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"It reduced cycles for a lot of quick out-of-the-box functionality. It also allowed us to get away from being stuck in SNMP, VTP V2, based off of agent deployment."
"I can use the Drag and Drop feature to build dashboards within minutes."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The only challenge that I have with this solution is the reporting part. The users are not really comfortable with the kind of reports they are getting. Sometimes, they want to see reports in their own format. Customizing those reports with Jasper is not very easy. It could be because of the knowledge gap. If you have the knowledge of how Jasper can be configured to suit customer requirements in terms of reporting, it is good. There was a time a customer complained about one issue related to Netflow analysis. Broadcom has a separate model for that, but the customer wanted everything bundled together. It could also have IP management so that I am able to see or analyze IPs so that the IPs that are already in use don't get assigned."
"Stability."
"Currently lacks a mobile application which would be helpful."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"I think it can be improved by a greater provision of specialized technical support, as there are very few trained personnel there."
"The dashboards need to be improved."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"The documentation could be improved."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"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."
"It could be more stable."
"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."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
