Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"It is a very valuable tool. It goes out and does a discovery, which is a great process of it. You could have something like a rogue DHCP server, and it will identify it, and then you can see to which switch port it is connected. It is quite an impressive tool. I really liked it because you didn't have to install an agent on anything. It would just go out and do its discovery. For me, that's great."
"Gives us the ability to see our network."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Its price can be improved. Their support can also be improved a little bit. In terms of features, it did everything I wanted it to do. With more features, I would have to start installing network agents or something else, and I don't want to have to install anything. This was the value for me about this device."
"I would like a built-in tap feature which doesn't interfere with the network, and it allows you to see what is happening there."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"The documentation could be improved."
"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
