We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability 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."Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"The architecture and system's stability are simple."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"Health and communication links availability."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"The tool's scalability involves a more complex implementation process. It requires careful calculations to determine the number of nodes needed, the specifications of each node, and the configuration of hot, warm, and cold zones for data storage. Additionally, managing log retention policies adds further complexity. The solution's pricing also needs to be cheaper."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"They need more skills in the market. There are not enough skills in the market. It is not pervasive enough on the market, in my opinion. In other words, there isn't a big enough user base."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
