API completely open, documented, and practically integrable with any language, perfect!
What do you like best about the product?
We have used Zabbix for several years across multiple data centers. In the initial phase, the monitoring capability solved some problems for us. Over the years, it has scaled very well, and we regularly monitor thousands of virtual machines with hundreds of monitored items each. The API works quite well, and we have been able to write very useful automation within it. We monitor our most important servers with Zabbix, and it works very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably we would limit the default length for new story elements. At the beginning, we had scaling issues because we had so much history to move.
The web user interface in earlier versions is not very nice. It is improving, but it is a couple of versions behind.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through the APIs, we were able to integrate a Telegram bot and a WhatsApp bot capable of notifying the appropriate people and teams for each type of problem or alert arising from more or less critical resources. The alerting is immediate and can include both graphs and histograms, as well as detailed texts of errors, issues, and timestamps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The learning of the API has been useful for creating very specific automation and dashboards. I would recommend learning the API early to fully realize its advantages as it is possible to query the values of Zabbix, alerts, alarms, and triggers with the simplicity of a GET call or a POST request with both XML and JSON output.

Absolutely economical, and the free open-source version already allows for complete monitoring.
What do you like best about the product?
Adapting it to your environment and personalizing it also takes a bit of time, but in the end, it is something that will help you save yourself from device-by-device control. My experience has been very positive, I have used many monitoring tools that were also good, but this is the one that convinced me the most. It takes time for implementation but it is understood that it is a free tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes patience and time to adjust the trigger so that it only shows the problems that actually exist in the infrastructures, but once it is adapted to one's needs, it becomes an ally in being aware of resources and being able to react in time. When a problem arises with the tool, there aren't many forums, and it requires investing time in finding the solution. In almost a year and a half that I've had the tool, I've only had the monitoring stop for a few hours because the service was interrupted; I found the cause by searching in the forums and was able to solve the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I implemented the device with Ubuntu and if you follow the manual for installation it is simple. It is possible to add a variety of monitoring resources and the triggers can be customized according to your needs. The dashboard gives you a very broad view of all the computer's resources and gives you the ability to prioritize more efficiently. You can create your own maps, review detailed resource graphs, create macros, and view online information of all devices. In general, it is a very useful tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The support tickets sound expensive if you purchase some starter packs, so an Enterprise package is always advisable if it is necessary for its implementation to the complete infrastructure of a large organization.
Proactive alerting is always essential, Zabbix helps to achieve it fully.
What do you like best about the product?
For my team, it turned out to be a performant and optimal monitoring tool based on the solid Linux kernel, free and open source with an effective dashboard. Implementation of new hosts, items, and triggers is quite simple, a complete web-based tool (I assume PHP) with ease of adding hosts that need to be monitored on a single configuration web browser but with multiuser support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Paid support and the community is not very active as of today, the knowledge base guides are available but for previous versions and not for version 4 LTS.
Difficulty in creating objects and, moreover, monitoring Windows Hypervisor is difficult compared to monitoring other open-source virtualization servers like Proxmox or OpenStack.
The predefined charts selectable in the non-enterprise version are inferior compared to other monitoring tools.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Zabbix, my team responsible for software-defined networking can fully and quickly know in real-time the entire state of the logical controller behind the applied networking configurations, allowing them to detect and resolve potential issues related to latencies or high CPU loads, which are often frequent in SDN systems during the processing of routing and switching information with a high number of entries, saving a lot of time in debugging and resolving fatal crashes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Integrate with Bash scripting or Python rather than buying very expensive and less customizable templates, open source is increasingly scalable and migratable in the future towards different services.
The most that can be expected from open-source for monitoring critical and production systems
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix was mostly created during the period when it was created precisely for this. This is everything that happens in a fun way like everything and as still. Zabbix is very nice and well made to be used.
What do you dislike about the product?
So, we are really trying to kick off Zabbix. What I like most about everything is the beauty and similarity of all this. It is not a real challenge to start and change the thing. You can also choose your love and all your thoughts. Moreover, this is a real dream and if you don't like something and you can do it, you can do it. The ideas help to understand that the questions have been retrieved and many have been made throughout the course.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
However, I don't think I had to do anything about what is being said to make it happen. I should understand what is there, the choice is not at all as it could be. I am one of the authors of what was necessary. I thought that the deceased should have let go and understood something important and of great significance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many devices for which there are no ready-made models. It takes a lot of time to search for models on the Internet. And writing models on your own is very problematic.
Moderately easy to set up but once active it helps a lot in daily work, brilliant.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setting up our various systems in Zabbix and reviewing recorded metrics in a GUI are probably the best features for our team. We have a lot of resources and are not generally pushing them to the limit. However, when issues arise, the ability to analyze and correlate the load across multiple hosts has been a great win.
What do you dislike about the product?
A monitoring system and the story of the boy who cried wolf, the two would never meet. Unfortunately, we have some situations where we receive so many messages about an error that it leads to the formation of bad habits. This is largely due to our system architecture and the way specific monitors detect and report the same issue on multiple hosts. In particular, memory usage on a shared mount. We have made progress in solving this problem, but it continues to be a source of spam and desensitization to warning messages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several hosts on multiple tests and an operational environment. Being able to integrate the monitoring of those into a single monitoring solution has been a critical aspect of our approach to systems. Being able to create custom screens/dashboards for metrics of great interest makes it easier to filter out the noise and focus on what matters most to us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have used other monitoring systems like Nagios and Hyperion. Zabbix is a simple solution that has many of the core features you want from a system/application monitoring application. I recommend it as a tool to evaluate when considering system monitors.
Il monitoraggio di routers e switches semplice, veloce e tramite protocolli sicuri
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix è un software di controllo per molteplici parametri di rete, operabilità dei server e stato dei server. Zabbix utilizza uno schema di notifica malleabile che consente agli utenti di impostare i segnali di allarme per posta per quasi tutti gli eventi. Questa funzione consente di reagire rapidamente alle difficoltà del server. Zabbix offre funzionalità brillanti di visualizzazione e informazione basate sui dati raccolti. Ecco perché Zabbix può essere considerato uno strumento ideale per il ridimensionamento e la modellazione.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ci piace che Zabbix funzionare come un estrattore e cacciatore. Tutte le statistiche, le impostazioni dello strumento, e le relazioni in Zabbix sono disponibili attraverso l'interfaccia web. Interfaccia web stabilisce lo stato della rete necessaria per voi di essere in grado di stimare i server di lavoro da qualsiasi luogo. È presente che uno Zabbix ben sintonizzato svolge un ruolo essenziale nel monitoraggio dell'infrastruttura IT.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fortunatamente, questa piattaforma non ha causato un sacco di problemi per la nostra squadra. Ma, ci sono alcune cose che non sono del tutto soddisfatti. Da un lato, la possibilità di personalizzazione per l'utente dà una serie di vantaggi evidenti. Ma d'altra parte, se non si dispone di una possibilità di dedicare tempo alla gestione del programma, non è un vantaggio più. Per il programma non è possibile visualizzare i dati relativi tipi di testo.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Configurare bene lo spazio su disco aiuta a non dover affrontare improvvisi resizing o migrazioni di dati per via della elevata mole di dati e files creata da Zabbix
Highest quality but the configuration is repetitive, boring, and often poorly documented, necessary!
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix offers incredibly flexible monitoring and reporting on a huge number of metrics. While not the most intuitive option, the ability to control the environment from many different perspectives outweighs the time spent setting it up.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not at all intuitive to set up, as I have already said before, this is enormously offset by the flexibility of the product. The configuration of this product should not be taken lightly, as it requires time and requires systems and network experience.
Additionally, many settings need to be cloned or turned off and on again to make the changes effective despite pressing the Apply button, all in a completely random and non-repeated manner.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product offers enormous flexibility for monitoring services and machines on our network and even regarding inventory management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend a few extra minutes learning/studying Bash or Python scripting languages, they are very useful as externalscripts and alertscripts to use in Zabbix to obtain functionalities such as alerting via Telegram or WhatsApp.
Excellent Tool For Monitoring All Systems.
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix tracks our systems and facilities and automatically sends out the alert, so that we can deal with the problem and fix it immediately. I like the Zabbix most because it allows several users to set up emails and simultaneously receive updates in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem he has and is addressing is his interface, which in this new version was no longer very successful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zabbix is ideally suited to track both our internal systems and our different customers to ensure that the quality of service delivered is always maintained. It's a device I really like because I deal with it every day, but it's always transferring my data specifically, so that I can receive notifications in the event of circuits left unmanaged. It is code that is very useful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In order to monitor efficiently all available servers and facilities, I advise everyone to use this great monitoring tool, and it already specifies the issue.
Senza dubbio il miglior tool open source per l'alerting ed il monitoraggio
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix, nella fattispecie la versione 4 che garantisce supporto a lungo termine, è un tool performante e affidabile per il monitoraggio continuo di server, hosts, guests e altri tipi di dispositivi in modalità agent e agentless, la suite è volta al mantenimento degli SLA e alla proattività con relativo alerting in caso di fuori soglia o valori scatenanti triggers, l'estensibilità è praticamente infinita e più avanti spiego anche perchè, ad oggi però posso definirlo senza ombra di dubbio il miglior tool per il monitoraggio e l'allertamento dei team tecnici e di supporto.
What do you dislike about the product?
L'unica cosa che in 4 versioni di Zabbix non è stata risolta e reputo impattare negativamente la user experience è la mancanza di una procedura guidata wizard in grado di supportare l'utente, sia esso avanzato che intermedio o base, nella creazione completa di un item e del successivo collegamento dello stesso con alert, triggers, hosts, grafici e via dicendo.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Grazie a Zabbix ci è possibile, nel caso di fuori soglia o hosts con valori allarmanti nelle ore non lavorative e non monitorate, di automatizzare subito dopo il rilevamento dell'evento e per i successivi minuti / ore a seguire dei continui check di diversa natura creati tramite bash scripting e lanciati sulla macchina impattata tramite agent (se disponibile) o SSH / telnet.
Senza Zabbix tutta questa logica di controlli periodici post-allarme sarebbe stata a carico e progettazione nostra ed avrebbe occupato ore ed ore di lavoro ed interi team di devopers e sistemisti.
