Great monitoring platform

  • December 11, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are a WISP and minitoring is very important part of our work. We are using Zabbix for more than 10 years and we are very happy. Zabbix allows you to modify triggers and create your own system what works for you. Their support team great as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s not like I dislike but as it is for free you need to be aware that system will require some knowledge regards database optimisation. But that’s when you are monitoring quite a big network with a lot of items per second.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zabbix is our core monitoring platform. Without Zabbix we couldn’t do any support in real time to our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Zabbix is definitely a worth to try.

Flexibility and ease in monitoring the network

  • November 08, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The system is easy to deploy rapidly. Within some other monitoring systems the sensors for network elements are arduous to deploy
What do you dislike about the product?
Alerts can be overwhelming. Perhaps it is a lack of expense but we need to better qualify the alerts from Zabbix to better pain a picture of outage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of vision where we do not know what is going on in our enterprise. Previously most enterprise servers were unmonitored.

Zabbix - Multi-Platform Monitoring Tool

  • October 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix has proven itself to be a highly effective and flexible monitoring tool. We utilise the flexibility of the system as we do not only monitor Server Tolerances, Services & Network Utilisation. We also monitor less common things like Hot Folders and also our VPN users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customizability. If all of your servers are very similar then this might not effect you. Now, if all of your servers are virtually identical, you may not experience this problem.
However, what if you have a number of servers where you would like to tweak a few of the triggers points then, guess what? You have to use a separate template for them. Worse case you may end up with each server having their own template.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This gives us network wide access to monitoring and alerts. We have the dashboard showing in a number of offices. The system also can escalate to the appropriate technician if configured so.

Great monitoring software

  • October 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
there is much information about this software, the forum on the site is very complete. I use it personally in my company.
the free version is useful for understanding the potential of this software., capable of simultaneously monitoring thousands of connected devices on the network
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes the monitoring of some appliances is difficult, especially for some firewalls.
you need a basic knowledge of linux to be able to use it to the best..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this software I can do a complete tracking of all my company and customer systems.
I have set different alarms and is useful for optimizing and automating system controls. I use it in a SOC for H24 staff
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Handling triggers / alerts via templates saves you a lot of time and you do everything from web interface

Great monitoring platform

  • October 20, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple to setup and easy to manage solution. Very little in-depth tech skills needed to deploy initially and raft of templates available for free online to make it an essential monitoring tool for any business.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support, if you want it - looked to be costly if you simply want light email only assistance on your setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is our core monitoring platform, used to montior all servers and perimeter for any issues in the network. We utilise it to alert the team on any low disks, failed devices or loss of ping to certain aspects of the network. It also monitors flow and other metrics via SNMP with a single pane view for easy management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A little linux knowledge is recommended, but not hard to pick up. The online forums are also great. I would advise checking template galleries prior to implementation to ensure that you have correct monitoring templates for the kit you will be checking, else creation is a little cumbersome manually.

Not bad, if you will work on it

  • August 10, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is extremely flexible while having a good architecture for reducing repeating yourself. It has a lot of information available and the ability to customize how you see it. Its support of ipv6 was critical to my decision making as I don't want to have to switch monitoring tools later. I also enjoy changing the interface, as it is relatively easy even if it is via PHP. I suppose I could make a frontend in something else if I really wanted to, as it's all just pulling from the database. This makes report generation simple as well, though I am not doing this in any sort of fancy way yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not very intuitive and frankly their documentation is not very consumable. You basically have to read a lot more than you really should need to in order to get how Zabbix works. Luckily there's a wealth of tutorials out there for a variety of scenarios to get you started. It also supports things that helped me choose it over previous tools I've used for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I just needed to know what the states of various pieces of infrastructure were. I was pleased that I could also take action upon certain error types, some of which was built in but I could extend it with my own logic.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be ready to read. All these tools need you to learn a lot about them as they are doing complicated things. Once you're in there it's much easier as you grow your core concepts in the tool.

A very good open source monitoring tool

  • August 04, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup from scratch, a very good open source monitoring tool through which u can monitor ur hardware utilization of the servers, have alerts around them. Same can be done for monitoring services running in the servers.It is a very light service which does not hog your memory up nor our processor. Very good tool for devops.
What do you dislike about the product?
Zabbix UI needs improvment, most of the thing aren't self explanatory. Can be a little tricky for beginners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Centralized monitoring of servers and services.
- Email alerts and notification which allows devops team to proactively slove issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Zabbix is a good open source monitoring tool, which is very simple to use and easy to integrate.

Good monitoring, fair alerting, poor graphing

  • July 03, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Auto-discovery of hosts is nice. The solution is free to use and easy to setup. The interface has greatly improved in version 3.0.
What do you dislike about the product?
Access control is confusing, things you don't have access to are hidden so you know don't what you cannot see, the graphing is difficult to use and not as flexible as other solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are monitoring our node health with the platform. It can handle tracking data for a ton of hosts and is simple to setup and leave running.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good for someone starting out to get some quick monitoring.
