"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."
"I like being able to use proxy servers for different locations. The agents are pretty cool. They're easy to roll out. The standard out-of-the-box templates are also pretty easy to use. The integration with other learning products is also good. I have, in the past, used Slack, but we've integrated it with Microsoft Teams. We also use it for SMS with a service called Redcoat. It is very flexible. It does what I need it to do, and my manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything. We are nearing 4,000 hosts inside Zabbix, and we've got another 6,000 access points to add to it. We've thrown everything at it, and it has managed to keep going. I am very impressed with the tool, and I'd shake their hand very hard if I got to say the compliments to the Zabbix team. They keep improving it and doing refreshes, which is one good thing about it. There is also online information as well as books that you can purchase if you're willing to read enough. There is a lot to pick up, but it is a pretty complete solution."
"The product is very stable."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"The stability could be better."
