Must-have

  • March 25, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
+ Open source
+ Quick start
+ Extensibility and customization
+ Regular new releases, community
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

  • March 25, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
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

  • March 25, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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!
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Not an optimal database for historical data
2. Somewhat outdated user interface
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't understand something in the system do not hesitate to ask on the official forum. There, you will quickly be able to answer the vast majority of issues

In version 2.x , the original user interface is a little poor.Some function you must use it's API to achieve by yourself.

Using information manage system to manage servers ,routers and so on.

Zabbix system monitoring

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

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
Recommendations to others considering the product:
just try and let zabbix work for you

An amazing and open source tool to monitoring your Infrastructure and Business

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The evolution of the tool and his community are, for me, the astonishing features about it that I really like about this tool.

In term of features, there is a great range of possibilities to monitor you network but the killer feature for me is the possibility of acting pro-actively in a automated form trough actions and let the app managers or even the final users visualize information about their applications and have some sort of interaction with them.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Web Interface is very useful for administrators, but if you really need a good solution to create and provide some insightful reports, then you going to need a third party application (like grafana and others); Zabbix Interface is limited in this field.

Another point, in terms of a enterprise solution is: the WebInterface doesn't support authorization plugins or even authorization using a LDAP database (e.g); in this point, you can use LDAP or HTTP (Kerberos, Winbind and other authentication methods enters in this room) to authenticate a user but not to authorize, which is not so suitable for enterprise environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm working with this tool for 5 years now and I solved different kind of problems: DataCenter IT monitoring, Business monitoring and some integration with Enterprise apps as Well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a tool have a great possibilities of integration, supports both Unixes and Windows, integrating a great range of features, like VMWare Monitoring Support, JMX Monitoring, SNMP, Agent Monitoring and customization/integration in the side of clients then, this solution can be for you.

In the integration part, I'll recommend some sort of Bash/PowerShell (or Python :D) knowledge and in the part of the administration of the application a good set of Linux or Unixes skills is recommended and good skills to maintain a healthy database can be very good as well.

Zabbix is an amazing free monitoring solution

  • March 24, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is highly configurable and I've found it very useful both personally and professionally. While Nagios is usually the gold standard of Linux monitoring, Zabbix basically includes all of the features of Nagios along with a a free web interface as well as built-in graphs! The ability to graph any and all data imaginable from Zabbix is definitely my favorite feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Zabbix is an amazing application, I believe that it would be beneficial if there were additional agent-less features that allowed simpler monitoring of servers or even URLs without installing and configuring the Zabbix agent software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have stream-lined alerting and reporting of problem situations by having Zabbix report errors to Slack automatically. I created a custom integration script for Zabbix that I've called "zabbix-slack-alertscript" and made freely publicly available:
