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 Network 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."
"We are able to go in and actually leverage the thick client for a nice easy drag and drop solution."
"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."
"You can integrate clouds, hybrid infrastructure, and on-premise infrastructure into one product."
"It is the foundation for our monitoring solution."
"Probe packages and probe deployment."
"Another division handed us the opportunity to monitor their solutions as written, and UIM was very useful for that."
"MultiWAN and Balance service"
"This solution allows us to have an overview of the infrastructure and identify areas where the performance isn't optimal, or where upgrades could be carried out."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It needs a little bit more functionality in the Admin Console."
"The UIM has no features through goods and services yet. "
"How we can get more native information from CA's solutions."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"We want to see more investment in the UI and the dashboard."
"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."
"We would like the navigation of this solution to be more user friendly for our system administrators."
"CA UIM needs some improvement with performance reporting (if we compare it to CA eHealth)."
"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."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"The event correlation could be better."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
