"Zabbix is scalable."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"This solution could be improved if it offered the ability to analyze charts, such as a solution like Kibana."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"It could be even more automated."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"If I want to track any round-trip or breakdowns of my response times, I'm not able to get it. My request goes through various levels of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and comes back to my client machine. Suppose that my request has taken 10 seconds overall, so if I want to break it down, to see where the delay is happening within my architecture, I am not able to find that out using Stackdriver."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"It could be more stable."
More Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly Stackdriver) Cons →
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"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 are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The stability could be better."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
