We performed a comparison between HPE System Management and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"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."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"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."
"Its UI needs to be improved a little bit more so that an end-user is also able to handle it. I can handle it, but others should also be able to handle it in a better way. It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases. A lot of articles are available, but they need to be in proper documentation. For example, when you have thousands of servers that have to be monitored in different regions of the world, there should be some kind of documentation to describe how you can create proxies and add them. Sometimes, when you are using the database, it can get overloaded. When the network is growing, the number of transactions becomes very high, and the database gets overloaded. There should be information about how to reduce the load on the MySQL database, which is what Zabbix is using. The market is growing a lot, and it should be enhanced for a lot more things. We are currently bringing enhancements at our end for different use cases. For example, when dockerization is going on, how can we check the logs inside the Dockers. We should also be able to monitor and check the number of logins and add features such as SSO login and two-factor authentication as a protocol. These are the security features and concerns that we have to deal with. Currently, we are developing modules to add features to Zabbix, but they should also work on these features."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
