Capable, customizable open source monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is a customizable open source tool that adapts well to a wide variety of applications, allowing centralized monitoring of a complete infrastructure. It's easy to build custom plugins for applications that may not be part of the existing community. It's a very visual tool and useful for trending and visualizing your data.
It allows the creation of custom graphs, charts and alerts. Its extensibility means that we can use it as a single monitoring and alerting solution for nearly everything we do.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a relatively steep learning curve to Zabbix. Some of the navigation and screens are not initially intuitive and take some getting used to.
As with any open source project, there are some situations where an enhancement requires you to get your hands dirty. The "vendor" (community) may not have it as a priority so you'll take it upon yourself to develop the change you want.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Zabbix to monitor our site infrastructure. This includes load balancers, web servers, databases, storage appliances, etc. We track application and database performance, and monitor throughput.
We use the custom graphing capabilities to produce informative charts. Its ability to show trending data going back for years is helpful for identifying events of interest. For example, we trend a number of response times for hardware and applications and visualize changes to identify the positive or negative impacts.
Zabbix is our centralized monitoring and escalation solution. We create multiple tiers for support personnel, build in escalation paths, and automatically rotate on call resources according to a pre-determined schedule.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If evaluating Zabbix, give it a thorough try. It can be difficult to wrap your hear around at first, but it's a lightweight solution that, quirks aside, can be a complete one as well.
Extended very strong product
What do you like best about the product?
In a production environment, you can write collection procedures, can be better for your service. Distributed cluster, or push data acquisition is a very good way. The presentation is very friendly and chart, highly integrated, eliminating a lot of their deployment time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mysql database data, is not very good, the amount of data acquisition for large, not very friendly, need to continuously optimized, in the actual use of the process also found a problem, drawing if more than 24 hours, found that draw the chart in fact is not very accurate, the I caused great distress, hope later versions can be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Acquisition of the health of our business data, let our staff direct light look at the data, you can see the running of the business, deployed personnel from the point of view, saving a lot of manpower resources, and we can take the initiative to identify problems, the problems before they occur can prevent and solve these problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
yes
no titile
What do you like best about the product?
availability of options and community generated templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Web interface, ugly graphs and "screens". Once you need to show some graphs on TV (big screen) you'll need to use some other (custom built) software to get graphs and/or data from zabbix
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Availability and performance on platform, collecting and graphing some business metrics as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
you can do everything with zabbix, but a ton of things you'll be able to do only with custom development.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Lack of clustering and parallelization from the box
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of a large network, the availability of equipment to small events as a change of state of the port or ospf status. Monitoring of servers, which is most important not only to observe, but also the ability to automatically respond to a specific event (eg execute a script). Large possibility of customization, for example information about the various events sent by email, SMS, to instant messengers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are not a big business - just install and try it, you can in a virtual machine, it is convenient and cool.
Good monitoring tool for small or medium sized systems
What do you like best about the product?
Number of features that work out of the box. It has a pretty good charting, predefined templates might solve a lot of cases.
Price. It's free, so you could use it everywhere and buy a support only if you really need it.
API. It allows to integrate zabbix with any other system.

What do you dislike about the product?
Performance with high number of items. We've experienced some when zabbix stuck to processing data from proxy zabbix instances to the main one. So we've had a 3 days delay data.
Old style web ui. It was updated in recent version, but it still looks more like web 1.0. For example if they replaces charts with a javascript solution, like highcharts or d3.js it will be really better.

I've worked as performance testing engineer and zabbix is a good solution for storing performance metrics.
Triggers are very useful for checking that system is ready for testing.

Zabbix can solve a bunch of tasks, you can even a built a something like a intrusion detection system on top of it, but a main purpose of zabbix it is a system health monitoring.
Perfect monitoring system
What do you like best about the product?
1. Excellent flexibility and configurability of the system.
2. Cross-platform! The ability to monitor all available operating systems.
3. Good documentation. Zabbix is well documented but even if something could not find in the official documents, you can easily find it on the Internet.
4. The open source code!

Monitoring the work of other software systems we use in our projects. Guarantee their work or at least alert them in case of malfunctions.
For a very little time it is possible to deploy a full monitoring system which will solve almost all tasks.

In version 2.x , the original user interface is a little poor.Some function you must use it's API to achieve by yourself.
And the original diagram does not better as grafana.

Zabbix system monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is a monitoring system with exceptional power, for noobs users once downloaded is ready to play, for advanced users have the flexibility to be adapted quickly to your needs, one of best features is that Zabbix allows me to receive timely through reporting system any incidents that threaten the key points of our data center via SMS and Mail, has allowed us to know the weaknesses of our data center as well as improve our SLA.
I have tried many other monitoring products such like Zenoss OS, Hyperic OS, Foolight Dell, Cisco UCS, HP SiteScope, and the best cost / benefit relation and easy use actually only Zabbix can offer.

What do you dislike about the product?
1.- I'm dislike of Zabbix is you google api location, is to hard to programming and adapt it, create logical diagrams in zabbix is a manual task, in this field it has much to learn from other systems such as Zenoss, who automatically and only with initial load of devices may draw it.
2-. Create logical diagrams in Zabbix is so hard and manual task, in this field it has much to learn from other systems such as Zenoss, who automatically and only with the initial loading of devices can draw a basic but powerfull logical diagram.
3.- Autodiscovery devices using templates is to hard for noobs people too, neverthless auto-discovery properly set up, it can speed up of Zabbix.

1.- Election software develop work to fast, Zabbix help us monitoring pre-production problems detection with based RDBMS software.
2.- Actually try to build templates for hardware monitoring, EMC SAN VNX5300 and EMC SAN VNX5700 monitoring via SNMP.
3.- I working on integrate some VMware Products via API.

Common monitoring tools
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is one of my favorite monitoring tools, easy to use, easy to customize and have great supports and development.
You can monitor any you want to monitor, you just write a small script and Zabbix will monitor it for you. For example, you can monitor how many users log in on your system by typing "who", just write bash script contain "who" as the external script and modify the value on Zabbix and Zabbix will do monitor.

What do you dislike about the product?
Start from zabbix 2.4 you cannot clustering zabbix again, that make a problem when you have to monitor many devices. Using zabbix proxy is not enough, so you must doing some trick to balancing your zabbix servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
devices monitoring, daemon monitoring, network devices monitoring etc.
sending alets when problem occurs
