Very useful for monitoring but a real nightmare to configure!
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is beautiful, powerful, performant, complete, and allows you to design, plan, and execute any type of monitoring you can think of or conceive.
It can be easily integrated with any scripting and programming language, from bash to Python, and also allows, through pre-set actions, the creation of standard items for basic monitoring of services, ICMP values, and upstream and downstream bandwidth.
The agentless mode works well, but for total control and data retrieval, it is necessary to prefer, where possible, the installation of the official LTS agent on the Windows or Linux VM, to put it briefly, it is the perfect tool to have full and immediate knowledge of what is happening in your network and/or in your cluster of physical or virtual hosts. Highly recommended in this regard!

What do you dislike about the product?
the process of creating hosts, inventory, items, alerts, and graphs is still too cumbersome due to the concatenation of operations to be performed to achieve the final result of proactive monitoring of a host. I believe it is particularly costly to operate manually with such lengthy procedures in the case of deployments with a large number of hosts. There is no possibility to import or export the configuration of the previously mentioned points, and unfortunately, there is no wizard to simplify the work for system administrators.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to design and set up a proactive alerting system capable of notifying specific teams in case of issues with both virtual and physical on-prem hosts to avoid breaching the SLAs imposed or contracted with the client. I believe that Zabbix has done its job more than excellently, and I spent very little money except for what was necessary to maintain the machine it runs on. Long live open source solutions!
The best stable and long-term solution for proactivity on systems and devices of any kind
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix 4 in LTS version is practically free and open-source, well documented both officially and unofficially, and has a forum full of how-tos, tips, and use cases. However, the strength of this very important tool/framework is the ability to create alerts and items of various kinds, more or less complex, through integration with the Linux bash scripting language or by running Python, Ruby scripts, or utilities for probing and information gathering like Zenmap. The default actions are, in my opinion, excellent for an initial deployment and basic monitoring of the running status of one or more hosts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing negative, but a wizard mode guided procedure on the dashboard to easily create new items without having to go through individual links and connections would be greatly appreciated by the Zabbix and IT community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to monitor more than 350 hosts considered business- and infrastructure-critical, and I would have had to create 350 or more manual scripts and the related scheduling if Zabbix didn't exist. It helped me save more than 70 days of work and about 4 colleagues from my team who were able to focus on other tasks. Spectacular!
Good solution
What do you like best about the product?
Very modern design and good handability for beginners
What do you dislike about the product?
installation can be very complicated if you dont have experience with linux systems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network monitoring, client inventory, license inventory
THE BEST WAY TO MONITORING
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is quite intuitive and simple, which allows for easy interaction when reviewing and controlling the generated alerts and, of course, its quick resolution. Zabbix allows deep customization of conditions and alerts giving you the ability to perform nearly any scripted action in a variety of scenarios.
screens or graphs showing customizable and color-coded historical usage is a necessity in any monitoring software and obviously the possibility to have in one place to see a list of all on-going problems and list of servers within your organization is critical
What do you dislike about the product?
In some cases, the documentation about external scripts for implementation is a bit confusing, in the same way some templates do not turn out to be compatible with some of the services or servers to be monitored and cannot be deleted, or at least, they cannot be How to do it yet.
The first time that you use Zabbix, it may not be immediately obvious where everything is or how to find exactly what you want, but I think that it's UI is constantly improving with each new release. Training is also a great resource to resolve these types of problems.
I have personally never found the "Maps" feature of Zabbix incredibly useful as I find it complicated to configure, but I should probably investigate its documentation further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my current job, it allows us to have an accurate and secure control over what happens in real time with our park of servers, being able to react in time when any eventuality happens, which means that we are in service 24/7 without any kind of shock.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it's the best way to monitoring easily all your infraestructure, it's pretty easy to configure and the community is pretty big and kind to help you.
Open Source Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that the software is open source and free. Not to mention the infinite network monitoring capabilities available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because the software is open source, many of the features must be deployed in a personalized way by each user, as there are not many "predefined templates".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through SNMP and ICMP protocols, it is possible to monitor power failures, closed / open ports, unavailable equipment, latency oscillations, fiber optic signals and so on. The mapping application for monitoring is fantastic, collaborating on the mapping of cities, states and countries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Implant the software without fear of making mistakes, it will exceed your expectations with its immense amount of resources and customization.
zabbix, the ideal monitoring for companies.
What do you like best about the product?
we use zabbix to monitor all our internal systems, and with the help of zabbix, we solve many problems in a very short time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that at certain times, the zabbix ends up having delays and it takes time for the alert to appear, and we end up taking care of the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
with it we have several benefits, because it helps us to control all our systems quickly and effectively.

zabbix, the perfect monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I like zabbix very much, we use it to monitor our internal systems, and with its efficiency we always warn of any problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
the problem that usually occurs, is some alert to delay alarm, and we take time to treat the problem due to this delay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
he after several benefits in the company, whenever there is an alert, we have already checked the problem and tried to solve it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend zabbix for all companies that wish to have one of the best monitoring services of the present time.
Satisfactory monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Easy dashboard, intuitive settings, faithful sensors, efficient triggers, accurate graphics, complete inventory and reporting, a true monitoring tool and still free.
What do you dislike about the product?
For those who do not know, it is complicated to set up, but nothing that a good search does not help and you are improving, but there was a big change in the new version and left a bit confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool helps us daily in the monitoring of our clients' backbone and circuits. In addition to alerts, maps are an important resource for those who need to manage a decentralized infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I certainly indicate the use of the solution, as it will greatly help in managing your infrastructure, from small IT environments to large backbones. Reducing costs and waste of time with unproductivity. Indispensable in incident management and disaster prevention in datacenters.
Not to mention that the solution does not have costs for acquisition, only with training of its team to leave the solution well established.

Functionalities and their attributes
What do you like best about the product?
We use the tool for mapping and capacity utilization in our backbone, where in addition to monitoring, we create triggers for actions in certain services that we configure
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have difficulty with the native templates that come in the application library, though it's not something to criticize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Map of the use of band of clients and backbone, triggers for certain actions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Application provides a great graphical interface and contains the possibility of creating maps for verification of bandwidth utilization and triggers for specific pre-determined actions.
Great application.
Great application.
Zabbix Monitoring Tool Review
What do you like best about the product?
There are different views about Zabbix which vary from people to people and from industry to industry. The best part of Zabbix is customization of alerts as per our need/requirement. We can monitor servers, VM's, Web monitoring by declaring a set of keys which will trigger alerts like filesystem monitoring, CPU usage monitoring, Memory monitoring, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
We cannot export reports i.e. reporting is weak. It requires a lot of resources when compared to Nagios. The huge amount of data will be collected in our database if not tuned properly. Also, SNMP monitoring is a challenge as firewalls can cause problems for which we require a number of connections.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firstly, Zabbix is an open source software so definitely, it has helped us in cost reduction. We can customize the alerts as per our requirement. For example, if we want an alert to be triggered when filesystem falls below the threshold limit of 80%. Coming to the web monitoring part, we can monitor every page whether it is loaded or not. This, in turn, has helped us to keep track of our website availability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please make sure you keep tuning your data to avoid performance issue. This is one thing which can trouble you. Also, have a check with the network team whether a firewall is blocking any connection. This is very common after you install an agent on a server and not able to communicate to the master server.
