We performed a comparison between SolarWinds Pingdom and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are monitoring and reporting."
"There are alerting mechanisms in place to let us know, for example, if a device is not responding to a ping test and is probably not going to work."
"Once you set the threshold on your environment, it feels very real-time"
"One notable feature of this software is its page speed setup, which is highly commendable. Additionally, the metrics it provides are also impressive."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"Technical support could use some improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with other products."
"Some of the functions could improve by making them easier."
"Pingdom is always improving everything in its product. So, they should work on the GUI."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"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."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"The documentation could be improved."
