We performed a comparison between AppDynamics 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."Error analysis in the troubleshooting sections go straight to the point."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"Once you get past installation, AppDynamics is highly stable and we get good results."
"Despite dozens of deployments across hundreds of applications- we have yet to see a case where AD is negatively impacting application execution or functionality."
"It allows us to configure health rules so that we can, based on our own experience, determine when an application is behaving incorrectly."
"AppDynamics has been stable."
"The best feature of AppDynamics is the analytics, which gives us the business insights of the application."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"AppDynamics could benefit from greater integration with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"Additional support for NextGen mobile platforms also needs to be high in the roadmap prioritizations"
"While it is scalable, it could be better."
"The training on the dashboards that is provided could be a little bit better, as could the use cases. They should have some good examples out there. As it is right now, I had to scour YouTube to find some stuff."
"I would like to see something that lets me set real dollar figures, not just to outages, but to the solutions as well... when I'm looking at problems and have found a problem that I know I need to address. I could flag it off and have AppDynamics estimate how long a person would have taken to find that without it. That would give me a lot of leverage for justifying the existence of APM, which I really need."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"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."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"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."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
