"I can have enterprise security, email security, next generation firewall security log, HIDS and NIDS logs, etc. all on the same dashboard. It makes it easy to pinpoint or correlate our server to this. I can find out if there is lateral movement. This is the biggest advantage of this solution."
"The newer 11.5 version that my team is using has found it to have good mapping."
"Their technical support responds quickly and are knowledgable."
"The software is scalable to whatever is required, and you can also put a lot of resources in the cloud."
"In my opinion, the solution's most valuable feature is its capacity to monitor network traffic, logs from devices within the network, and network captures. This capability extends beyond logs to include full network capturing."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write rules and triggers for network communication, and then being able to investigate based on that."
"The solution is really scalable for the high-end power, enterprise customer."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"Zabbix is good for discovery."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The threat detection capability and centralizing and upgrading capability need to be improved. The threat alert capability needs to be improved as well because there is some lag time at present. They need to work on their database search too."
"Security needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex because it takes a lot of time to complete the implementation."
"The initial setup is very complex and should be simplified."
"The product's licensing models are complex to understand. This particular area needs improvement."
"An area for improvement would be better automation and more inbuilt use cases."
"Lots of competing products have vulnerability protection built into their products, and this solution would be improved by including that support."
"There are instances where you try to run the reports and then it does not give you the desired outcome."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"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."
"The stability could be better."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
