We performed a comparison between Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."The tool's most valuable feature is the encryption feature. From a security perspective, the solution hasn't significantly strengthened our security posture. However, it has greatly improved performance by streamlining encryption processes and avoiding encryption at multiple layers. This has also simplified troubleshooting, as we can whitelist certain processes."
"It is a good product. It provides network visibility, which is important. Gigamon can bring some optimizations to my network. It is helpful for security inspection, and it makes my firewall work fast because my firewall doesn't have to do the inspection of the SSL connections, for example."
"It offers straightforward integration."
"The most valuable feature is NetFlow."
"It has high stability."
"The most valuable feature for improving network visibility with Gigamon is the packet filtering capability."
"The solution is straightforward to set up."
"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 solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, while the initial setup is not overly complicated, we did encounter a few issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"They should increase the solution's cluster capacity."
"It only inspects a specific kind of traffic. There should be different kinds of use cases."
"The security should be improved."
"Its filtering feature needs improvement."
"The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline should have a feature showing the traffic flow within its platform. Currently, customers have to use separate tools for monitoring, which is inconvenient. If it had its visibility feature, it would make monitoring easier and more complete without needing extra tools."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"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."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
