We performed a comparison between Nutanix Prism and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtualization Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Nutanix has one of the greatest support organizations that I've ever had to use. They're polite, you get someone on the phone fast, and they always find a solution for you."
"The most valuable feature is that, when you log in, you have customized dashboards. You can add widgets to those dashboards and you can change the density of certain data points in the dashboards. When I log in, I quickly see where the cluster lies, as far as memory and CPU resources go."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's single-pane-of-glass approach to consolidating all of the various metrics and interfaces that I would typically have to access via multiple screens in other products. The ease of use would probably be the single biggest selling point."
"There are so many valuable features but Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation of the network, and the Life Cycle Manager for dating hardware and software are among the most important for us."
"Aside from ease of use, scalability is one of the key points of this solution."
"The solution's technical support is helpful and responsive."
"I am very satisfied with the technical support."
"The ability to do snapshots is fantastic. It does a great job. Not only do snapshots work great, but you can take a snapshot on the fly. The snapshot takes a second to complete. You can then make a change and test it out to see if it works. If you have any problem, just roll it right back."
"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."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"I would like to see the integration of native, one-click "open support ticket" functionality for errors generated by the system within Prism. Currently, we have to manually open a support ticket in a separate web browser and manually input the error information."
"We definitely have some issues with Nutanix Prism. Our main issue is that we cannot operate the database. It would seem that less configuration would be desirable, because between Nutanix and the Oracle database on Windows, there tends to be problems."
"The solution should offer the ability to change network settings without removing the network card from the virtual machine."
"The automation needs to be improved, as there are several challenges."
"No integration of commands to manage AHV."
"The main area where an improvement could be made would be the pricing."
"It doesn't integrate very well with any backup solution."
"The product currently fails to provide a complete view to customers."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"The user interface could be better."
"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."
