We performed a comparison between Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring gives us complete visibility without the need for storage."
"It is very easy to monitor multiple cloud environments. It's like a single pane of glass for us. We can use it to monitor our on-prem and both of our cloud environments as opposed to having different tools for each environment. It makes it all come together in one tool."
"The data collection from our VMs, containers, databases, and backend components is valuable."
"The ability to create custom dashboards is one of the best features and that's typically why most people deploy Splunk. Users can create dashboards for just about anything."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't find it to be too complex."
"We haven't really experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the data integration."
"It is a great resource for us because we have so many different data sources and to be able to aggregate that and put it through a concise dashboard or an alert really helps."
"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."
"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"Health and communication links availability."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"The implementation process is very straightforward."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The deployment can be quite complex."
"I would like to see an improvement and some innovation in the customer interface."
"Splunk could be better integrated with configuration manager solutions so we can automatically resolve issues without human interference."
"The cost needs to be re-examined. It's extremely expensive to run. It's also expensive to expand. That's the number one complaint all of my customers have when it comes to Splunk. It's way too expensive compared to other solutions."
"We still use Splunk Enterprise licensing. A lot of the newer features go into Splunk Cloud before Enterprise. We're not looking to switch our licensing over, so we're falling behind on the newer features."
"A lot of customers had a hard time effectively searching within the data in Splunk. There is a learning curve from searches to indexes and using all the macros that we have created. It is a little difficult for somebody who has not used it quite a bit and does not have a lot of practice with it, but the AI features that we have been hearing about through Splunk will make it a lot easier for us to use human language to search this data. That is big. That is pretty powerful, and that will help a lot with our customers."
"Splunk would be better if some tools were integrated to be able to take action on security or network concerns."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"Look and feel."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
