"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It is not very easy to monitor or to browse."
"One of the biggest challenges is that we aren't always able to push the configuration onto the target device. Whenever this happens, we have to do a factory reset, put on the script, and then reconfigure it again. In the next release, I would like to have a troubleshooting feature."
"In the next release, I would like to see it merged with Prime and I think that it should be more unified."
"The automation feature could be improved."
"The configuration is too complicated and you have to create templates and use a lot of menus."
"The tool's pricing strategy could be improved to compete more effectively in the market, especially against competitors like Huawei, Aruba, and Juniper."
"We need better performance and reliability."
"Sometimes the product gives us problems that require support."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"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."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
