We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum 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."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"It has a high-quality graphical interface."
"Offers a lot of functionality."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"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."
