We performed a comparison between Dell CloudIQ 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 best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."
"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."
"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"It could be more stable."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
