Powerful, open source monitoring system

  • January 22, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Before Zabbix, I was using Nagios as the monitoring system, Munin for usage graphs, and Diamond for application specific graphs. Now, we are able to keep it in one, slack solution, which is easier for developers to use. There is a great community, which is very helpful, and on the GitHub, you are able to found a lot of templates for almost any application. Community support is quick and responsive. Using API, you are able to integrate Zabbix with many other applications.

What is important for us - Zabbix is open source software, so we were able to fix some stuff by ourselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's sometimes hard to configure, needs strong technical skills. Also, database usage isn't optimal, and there is no easy option to undo your changes if you (for example) remove a host from the zabbix. The user interface could be improved because it's a little outdated. The graphs could also be improved, the current solutions is useful, but definitely, interactive graphs could help with analyzing data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to cut time, that developer needed to analyze part of the problem, because all graphs, automated issue reporting, and notifications were consolidated in one place. Our alerts are fully automated, forwarded to slack, then if nobody responds in few minutes, automatically send to mobiles of our team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sometimes it's better to hire external consultant to fully setup zabbix.

What do you like best about the product?
Really like how easy it is to install and administrate. very light weight and can be easily customized to your needs

Missing SAML SSO capabilities, Identifying problematic monitored items can be a little tricky (unsupported items) and lastly it's missing the ability to easily show multiple hosts with the same item on a single chart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring our different environments, physical servers / virtual servers, applications level monitoring, inventory

Reports On Everything, If You Can Find It

  • October 18, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It can report on pretty much any and all useful statistics on all your servers, as well as turn all the statistics into graphs.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't know what you're doing, it can be difficult to get it to report on the data you're actually looking for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance issues. It becomes easier to see all server statistics at any point in time, so problem solving time is generally decreased.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good software, UI is steadily improving, and getting easier to use

Great open source monitoring software

  • September 09, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy installation and configuration of agents on host machines.
Open source and a big community.
Auto discovery and configuration of hosts and their templates and host groups using metadata is a great feature.
Multi platform support (windows, linux and mac) for agents.
Good documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to use when you first start out.
Not so great UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of over 300 multi platform servers and build machines with software that was more flexible than the internal monitoring software we were using.
Receive alerts as soon as a problem occurs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Need a linux administrator for server setup.
Read the documentation and best practices for Zabbix or else things can get messy fast.

Zabbix for Monitoring review

  • August 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setting up graphs and items.
Adding custom items via JMX or SNMP without the need of installing other plugins/add-ons for Zabbix
What do you dislike about the product?
Exposing JMX can be a hassle.
Sometimes the errors are non-descriptive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real-time monitoring of systems. Benefit is that we are notified in real-time on errors and issues.

What do you like best about the product?
Low Level Discovery is so powerful. I don't understand why so many people sometimes oversight this amazing feature. You can write applications that output the JSON format for LDD and you can even use Zabbix to instrument your applications performance for free! Zabbix distributed architecture is great, the documentation is very thoughtful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Easy to use, hard to master. Mastering Zabbix have a steep learning curve, but that is a consequence of being a very flexible monitoring system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been able to self discover infrastructure components and application services, auto-register cloud hosts into Zabbix, and trigger the Zabbix API to automate the process of off-boarding cloud servers, Zabbix has a very important role in the server lifecycle.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try! At first glance, Zabbix might appear like an outdated tool, and for some people just noticing that the front-end is written in PHP scares them away in panic (yeah I know is PHP!) however given the distributed architecture of Zabbix you even can ignore that front-end and still have a fully working monitoring system. Zabbix is a very powerful and extensible tool if you master the tool you will really need nothing else for system monitoring solution, except for a huge log monitoring where I think Zabbix falls short and other solutions like ElasticSearch might be more appropriate. A note to developers if they ever read this, the actions section needs a little refinement, only depending on passing positional arguments is a little bit limiting.

What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is easy to implement, provides graphs of the measured resource and summarizes the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Automated remote actions can be challenging. This may be due to the version my systems are on, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to review activity to determine when resources are constrained and when that causes other problems.

Works as expected

  • April 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Customizable pages and dashboards are the zabbix best features for me, it helps to have everything I want in the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
The look and feel is not so good as the new products available on the market but it is good enough to what we were expecting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Part of our monitoring system uses zabbix in order to help us to keep track of all servers we have.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Zabbix is a good tool but there is some others that are really good and open source. In case you're ready to get your hands dirty I really recommend you to try more than one.

What do you like best about the product?
It has all the features you could possibly want to analyze your network

The user interface is not the easiest to figure out when you first start using Zabbix. After a while it is fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The issue for which I use Zabbix is that I need a program to be able to fully monitor and analyze all the aspects of the network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good program and has all the features you could possibly want.

Zabbix - Great IT Monitoring Services

  • March 31, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our IT team uses the program to monitor and create visualize outputs of network data. It has been critial in monitoring network operations during the pandemic given that we have numerous employees in multiple offices, some of whom are physically in-office, and some of whom connect to our servers via the cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike about this program, though the fact that the program is unable to monitor Windows services directly (and requires a separate platform/tool) is somewhat annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this program to monitor network usage and statistics. We use this program to further monitor areas of the network that require maintenance or have issues pop up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use if you are big enough to need it. You can monitor metrics across tens of thousands of devices, so smaller companies/users may not have a need for all of Zabbix' functionality.
