"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"The logging functionality could be better."
"The process of logging analytics can be improved"
"It could be even more automated."
"While we are satisfied with the overall performance, in certain cases we must add additional metrics and additional tools like Grafana and Dynatrace."
"It could be more stable."
"It is difficult to estimate in advance how much something is going to cost."
"Lacking sufficient operations documentation."
"The product provides minimal metrics that are insufficient."

"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The stability could be better."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
