We performed a comparison between Elastic Observability and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has always been a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It's easy to deploy, and it's very flexible."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"Improving code insight related to infrastructure and network, particularly focusing on aspects such as firewalls, switches, routers, and testing would be beneficial."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"The auto-discovery isn't nearly as good. That's a big portion of it. When you drop the agent onto the JVM and you're trying to figure things out, having to go through and manually do all that is cumbersome."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"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."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"The user interface could be better."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"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."
