We performed a comparison between AppDynamics and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that you can easily determine the load on the application."
"It is easy to gain visibility into complex environments with AppDynamics. It has the ability to combine operation information of the environment and business information with strong business IQ support."
"The most valuable feature is having our services being available and healthy."
"We have been able to monitor our applications more accurately."
"AppDynamics has a very broad range of supported technologies, and it's user-friendly. It looks nice, and it's easy to sell the solution to the stakeholders when we can visualize how the website is working. For example, where we have any problems through visual analytics."
"AppDynamics makes it much easier for us to detect problems or issues before they become problems. We have alerting on all of our business transactions."
"The monitoring is similar to Dynatrace."
"This solution not only provides answers but also provides sensor data. This allows us to quickly resolve issues that developers may take a long time to solve."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"It's a flexible solution."
"More native support for other hardware is needed because having to install various extensions and perform extra setup for different devices is really challenging, and not as easy or straightforward as it is in other products."
"The integration part in AppDynamics with other systems is an area with a little difficulty, especially when it comes to the configuration area. The integration of AppDynamics with other products takes a lot of time."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"It needs strengthening in the database tiers."
"AppDynamics' modules and hardware resources are very high."
"The integration with cloud services is still pending with AppDynamics. We would like the product to be serverless."
"The infrastructure is not as good as other solutions."
"I would like to be able to monitor both cloud an on-prem infrastructures, displayed in one dashboard."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."
"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"The stability could be better."
