We performed a comparison between Opsview and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"I am satisfied with the overall product since it works well…It is a stable solution."
"We use this solution for internal monitoring our own cloud platform because we are a public cloud provider. We also use it for monitoring purposes on behalf of our clients."
"What was very compelling about OpsView was that we could dial out the noise and have meaningful and actionable alerts."
"It's a good solution. It covers all aspects of monitoring purposes."
"The most valuable feature of Opsview is the ability to clone the services when you're monitoring something out of the test setup."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"The solution is stable."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Maybe the graphical representation can be improved. It can be enhanced for better visualization. It could be a little better. And the graph center can be improved."
"Some of the graphics on Opsview could be improved."
"Customized reporting can be improved."
"In a future release, we would like to have Observ for AI. Any AI and intelligence it can add to the monitoring is obviously beneficial. We would also like to have automated callouts."
"Pricing and a few certain aspects in the solution needs to be improved."
"It could be more stable."
"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."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"The event correlation could be better."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"The documentation could be improved."
