"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."

"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."

"The product’s scalability is an area with certain limitations, making it an area where improvements are required."

"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."

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."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
