Excellent alerting and monitoring platform - very flexible and powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is very flexible and thus powerful. It can be customized in many different ways and supports a great deal of systems/sensors. We use it to monitor and alert on software/hardware/events/conditions/health status across hundreds of servers, hundreds of sites, thousands of workstations and thousands of network devices. The ability to configure the system in your specific way instead of being forced to do it how the vendor wants you to use the system is its main benefit.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be somewhat complex to configure and use, especially for those new to it or those who use it infrequently. It takes some skill to navigate to the right screen/page for actions/status items that you may need. It's data presentation can also be very overwhelming or not very easy to digest in a glance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor a lot of mission critical software and hardware across 80 organization. Zabbix alerts us on any out of norm conditions or problems. This way we know about a problem often before our clients do.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need powerful and flexible monitoring and alerting solution - then try Zabbix, but keep in mind that it is not very intuitive and can be complicated to setup. It can do a lot for technology based organizations or those that have very significant IT infrastructure. Role based permissions and actions help limit tasks that employees can do within the software.
Excellent tool to monitor systems
What do you like best about the product?
It is an excellent tool for monitoring almost all types of systems. Monitor all kinds of variables and you can obtain a lot of information about systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult to set up and add devices, requiring extensive knowledge in systems and the tool, but once configured, it works perfectly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solution for network and system monitoring.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Product and system knowledge is needed for the implementation, otherwise it is an excellent tool.
The Best Free Network Monitor
What do you like best about the product?
A scalable, robust tool, easy to implement, which allows monitoring, correlation of events, this allows a forensic study on any event, in addition to being able to use proxies in different networks, the power to encrypt all the communication in a plus as soon as the previous versions, has a wide community of users that allows to rely on the construction of items to be monitored.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its interface is not very friendly, the administration of the items within the devices is not practical, it should have a simpler administration in terms of the items within the devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows visibility of the devices, was created as part of our platform to comply with GDRP showing logs and the demonstration of the availability times of each device.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For the implementation of Zabbix, you must have a defined plan, define the scope and stages in which the monitoring of the devices will be done and monitor them at each stage, because it is usually overwhelming when trying to address the set of items in the solution
easy and low-priced to implement.
What do you like best about the product?
this software is very well to create your monitoring tool safely and cheaply, with a physical server of not much capacity you can create a very useful and robust tool, very competitive with the market monitoring tools is quite versatile, with little knowledge in programming you can do it without problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
i cant said anything wrong about this software is very good, you can handle everything about monitoring, if i said you can implement a monitoring server whit a small server and a few command lines you believe me?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i did solve so many problem whit this app , because it permit you see the behavior of the network and see anything problem in it, that is the most relevan feature of this software, the versatility that you can add in your netwrok whit this software is so good you can change your NOC for better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
totally recommended if you need an application to monitor your network this is the least option in the market is very good and cheap to implement.
Zabbix hit and miss
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of features and the customization is a great incentive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Zabbix agents does not work in all applications like network Nas and conflict with other agents for backup solutions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For the cost savings it a great. Able to customize the dashboard help review systems in glance. I would still be using zabbix now but it conflicts with backup agents I had later installed. I had to switch to spiceworks platform for my network monitoring.
Good Cross-platform OpenSource Monitoring System
What do you like best about the product?
All primary operating systems supported
Supports snmp, wmi, and agent based monitors
Supports monitor elements set by custom scripts
Supports notification of alarms by custom scripts
Supports proxy servers that relay traffic to the primary server (works really well for multiple site support)

What do you dislike about the product?
The python modules for their API needs additional documentation.
The UI is a little dated.
Their variable arguments for their notification scripts needs a few more options.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring essential applications, servers, services, appliances, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Zabbix is a good option for server monitoring. If you run into problems contact the Zabbix IRC channel.
Love the functionality
What do you like best about the product?
The holistic approach to monitoring not just the infrastructure but the applications too
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit difficult to set up but it's a one time deal, so once you've over with it, it's done
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Application and infrastructure monitoring
Great open source monitoring and alerting
What do you like best about the product?
This product runs without fail. I have used it with 5 proxies and never had a problem. One thing you need to count on is your monitoring system being stable. Others I have used aren't as reliable, then you are never sure if you are getting false alerts or have alerting coverage. This does all the standard monitoring and alerting very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface isn't the greatest and they could do some web performance monitoring a little better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We monitor servers with the agent, SNMP devices, JMX endpoints and REST web APIs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Free and open source, so it works as well as you have time to put in to it, but it is very powerful. Support on the forums is pretty good, and templates have been created for a lot of servers/devices out there.
Complicated in implementation and understanding
What do you like best about the product?
Close to nothing, the graphs not bad.
Rest of the component is very complicated.
Rest of the component is very complicated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Implementation is complicated, you do not really know how Zabbix check the service, the monitoring infrastructure, the application monitor only on the high level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring Azure environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
implement the log monitoring and more option for application monitor.
Life Saving
What do you like best about the product?
Now i go to my second implementation, in first case the recon of all infrastructure and the availability to have the numbers in seconds to make the capacity planning an easy work. Additional to this, the developers group are very complacent with the fine tunning of web server Apache and GlassFish.
What do you dislike about the product?
The beginning is a hard path when you are a beginner, the "no agent" makes the work easier but you have to load credentials, then a i create limited user in all server just for zabbix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The sysadmin, creator of word went to another country... and the 60 servers became orphaned. I´m new in the company, my first needed it was to know the environment, every detail. And how do that?... zabbix is the answer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Zabbix is the app that "what you see, what you get" always can became more, the interface can be better, it can have more features, can do automatic stuff, but is a one of the 3 top of market in this apart. You don´t need a specialized person to deploy and admin (ROI), you can present to the board a real view of the thing, the IT and Network thing. You can better all you environment based on zabbix analysis, saved time for tunning the applications, services and hardware and save money with that (a delight to the managers) you can be better through enhance your server room (recognition)
