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."It used to take a lot of time to troubleshoot. Now, we can actually see the logs anytime we want. I can just find the problem. It has improved performance from a time perspective."
"Real time monitoring helps reduce downtime. It saves a lot of time in determining what is the likely cause of an issue an end user may be experiencing."
"The NeoLoad plugin is awesome, and it gets results from load tests correlated with test scenarios."
"Helps us to see the troubleshooting points or what is hiccuping. This is where we go. We reboot, fix it, or do whatever it takes for it to be taken care of."
"Dynatrace's documentation is great. I love the university."
"It allows you to better utilize and focus your talent, and tell management that you are not only looking at problems, but how you can ultimately make the product better for the end user."
"Using that telemetry from Dynatrace, we are able to pinpoint what our performance issues are so we can tune the system."
"Dynatrace is capable of following all user actions across all monitored infrastructure, even to systems not monitored, but interconnected."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"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."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"I would like a testing module focused on quality gates."
"It can be improved in narrowing the exact exception/ERROR in application monitoring."
"Because we are financial, there are certain things that we cannot put on the cloud. However, that is a given fact, not only for us. It is a given fact for any financial company because of PCI compliance. Because of PCI compliance, companies don't take the risk of putting data in the cloud."
"I haven't had a chance to go through all of it, but I would like to see the ability, from an administrative standpoint, for it to collect statistics. I want to be able to see the servers that the agents are installed on. I want it to be able to start doing collections for me by platform: How many Linux servers do I have? How many Windows servers do I have? Statistically give me the information of how things are performing, but I want that in a dashboard, where I can look at a dashboard and I can look at a section. So the ability for me to drill down will make it easier for me."
"Custom reporting capabilities should be extended, because it now has basic charting capabilities."
"It does not have mature enough dashboards."
"One thing I'm missing and that is the JMX from the MBeans, it's missing completely."
"Filters should have a “negative” option."
"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."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
