Find out in this report how the two Network 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."
"The artifacts available in the tool provide better information for analyzing network traffic. It enables a holistic view of network traffic and general packet analysis. It's easy to identify anomalies without the use of signatures. The way in which we implemented Stealthwatch Cloud has enabled my team to analyze traffic behind proxies."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"The solution reduces the amount of time it takes to detect and remediate threats."
"Most of the engineers I've worked with have been really good. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with."
"Most valuable features are the network maps and server and network response time."
"From what I understand, you can encrypt and unencrypt traffic moving in transit. This is one of the features that we liked about it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the way the net flow is being merged together in a single pane. That's been extremely useful for us, because can see what's going on with traffic in one single place."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data hoarding because it catches threats on a frequent basis that we had no idea of."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"The most valuable feature is service assurance."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Complexity on integration is not so straightforward and you really need an expert to help build it out."
"The version with the Dell server had iDRAC problems. Often, it reported iDRAC failure."
"We need to be able to filter out internal IPs as non-threats."
"I would like to see more expansion in artificial intelligence and machine learning features."
"The customizability of the UI should improve."
"We would like the solution to make more advances in the way that Extreme Networks has been doing."
"I would like to see some improvement when it comes to reporting."
"The ability to be natively integrated into Port Aggregator would be beneficial because it would reduce just one more component that's needed in order to have that type of view."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"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."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
