"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"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."
"I can't recall coming across any missing features."
"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."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"Documentation terminology could be improved."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
