We performed a comparison between Dynatrace 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."The most valuable feature is the workflow, which helps you to easily have an overview of the infrastructure that you are analyzing, without having worked with it previously."
"Transparency and visibility into application performance, errors, incidents, etc. helps to foster a collaborative environment."
"The ability for Dynatrace to identify the root cause of problems in a timely manner through its powerful AI capability and dependency mapping is a real value add for the service that we offer."
"Synthetic Web Monitoring allows us to automatically react to any issues regarding site reliability."
"Having a Dynatrace guardian onsite for our first two years helped with our user adoption."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is a robust solution that would help anyone get to the solution and resolution pretty fast."
"Provides more visibility into applications."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"UEM (User Experience Management) works great for web clients and Android and IOS apps, but for other rich clients it's a lot more challenging."
"We would like the AI to produce more scientific data with less configuration."
"We're thinking about moving to Dynatrace because AppMon is not scaling for us."
"If you want to see a month's data, it keeps on spinning. Here is an improvement which needs to happen, which is the case with all applications or tools. There is a lot of data, and either we have to change the way we are logging or the application needs to be enhanced."
"I think at times AppMon has given some folks some headaches from a configuration standpoint, and a maintenance standpoint, but aside from that I don't think they've really had many headaches with it."
"We have had problems with our middle layer application implementation."
"Searches should be faster."
"The initial setup was challenging for us. However, it was complex until you grasped the nuances of the product and the building blocks."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"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."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
