We performed a comparison between Nmap and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 tool's most valuable feature is its scripts. These scripts prove beneficial when security features may obscure or block connections. Nmap helps identify vulnerabilities across different systems, including web servers and various server types."
"Nmap is mostly helpful during compliance checks. We run the scanner to see how many devices are on our network and find vulnerabilities in those that aren't compliant. We also use it monthly to scan our network and identify devices that aren't connected properly. This helps us detect any issues related to the operating systems of these devices."
"The best feature of Nmap is that it lets me see useful information about each endpoint in my entire network environment. For example, I can see every single connection of the network as well as each and every port."
"The real-time reporting feature of Nmap is particularly valuable. It generates detailed reports on the source and destination IP addresses, the protocols used, and the types of traffic."
"Nmap is easy to use. It's a command-line interface, and the output is quite good."
"The initial setup was simple."
"From a functionality standpoint, it's robust and straightforward to comprehend."
"It helps us secure the network infrastructure."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Nmap major operates through the CLI; there's no GUI component, and that's where the challenge is."
"There are concerns with the stability of the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Nmap needs to improve its scanning speed."
"Customization is not very user-friendly in Nmap."
"They should deliver Playtech's username and password."
"The price is high and could be cheaper."
"It takes a bit of time to get familiar with the solution and its options."
"The solution should increase the number of features under a free license."
"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 some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
