We performed a comparison between Cisco Intersight 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."Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up."
"I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module."
"Intersight can validate our environment."
"Provides an overall view using a single portal."
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration."
"Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure."
"What I like most about Cisco Intersight is its manageability."
"The product has good integration."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."
"It's a very complex solution."
"An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs."
"In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage."
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement."
"The product could be easy to use."
"The product's setup should be easier."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"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."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"Look and feel."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
