"It is an open platform, so in terms of integration, we are quite happy. We can integrate it with other SNMP solutions. We can also integrate it with security solutions, such as a SIEM solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The artificial intelligence and automatic detection system in Flowmon Solution are perfect for every, type of customer, such as government and commerce."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"The product is very stable."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The licensing price could be better."
"It would be helpful to have more details about the monitoring of the infrastructure. It should have support for SNMP. This is something that is currently not there in the product."
"If there was better visualization in Flowmon Solution it would be good."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"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 solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"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."
