We performed a comparison between Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature in this solution is the log searching."
"It can monitor, get the data, and then report on the data."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to get information about all of the security measurements in my environment."
"The Add data feature lets you gather any type of log and easily analyze it."
"Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"Splunk has drawn our attention to how the network is running. If there are alarms on things that are not functioning, it gives us early warning on problems that could arise."
"The most valuable thing that we have seen within our group is the ability to ingest all this raw data and have it organized in a certain way so that different groups can get effective alerting from this massive amount of raw data that is out there."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"It's a flexible solution."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"We have both on-prem and cloud, and the challenge is getting all our log data aggregated or streams aggregated so that it is real-time. We do a pretty good job of that, but our organization is not using it as a security platform when it can do a great job of that."
"The solution's stability is an area that has room for improvement. It needs to provide constant stability to its users."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"It does not have a user-friendly interface and it is difficult to use."
"They do not have all the features that I expect right now."
"It would be useful if they provided some help pages. If you don't know too much about the tool, there should be more documentation readily available. It would be useful if they had a help button embedded in the solution so you could ask questions and get answers."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with the automation."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"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."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
