"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"The most valuable features are troubleshooting and optimizing application performance."
"The most beneficial aspect of Slunk APM is the ATM, which is the map displaying the inbound and outbound relationships of the microservices, as well as the traffic between these dependencies. This feature provides us with valuable insights and helps us understand the interactions between different microservices."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."

"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
"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 main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
