Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."
"The product could be more secure and more stable."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"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."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
