Alluvio AppResponse vs Zabbix comparison

"AppResponse is a total solution that gives you end-to-end visibility into applications at all levels, from Layer 1 to Layer 7. We can trace all those sections: physical, IP, transport, presentation, application, etc. It gives us the full picture."

"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."

"The most valuable feature of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."

"Ability to see end to end user, application, server, and network response time and throughput data."

"With some APM solutions, it can take a long time to check a periodic report, but you can get all the necessary details quickly with AppResponse."

"It provides us with complete visibility of every packet."

"It's a stable product. Riverbed has invested a significant amount of research and development into it, so it's a solid tool overall."

"Riverbed's product is a superb product."

"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."

"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."

"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."

"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."

"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."

"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."

"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."

"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."

"The AI features should be addressed in respect of the analysis and intelligence that must be supported and delivered in the tool to predigest the large amounts of data."

"Need to bring back the NetFlow module for AppResponse."

"The pricing is on the higher side of things. If they could lower it, that would be ideal."

"The reporting models need improvement as most of the time, we have to customize the reports manually."

"If Alluvio AppResponse reduces its cost, it will be more beneficial for customers to monitor their application and network performance."

"Technical support needs to be more responsive."

"Integration between NPM and APM solutions would improve efficiency. There is no agent on the server site related to AppResponse."

"The initial setup is straightforward, but you have to know a little about the product. It's not for everybody to just plug and play. If you know how the solution is implemented then it is straightforward."

"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."

"It could be more stable."

"Its UI needs to be improved a little bit more so that an end-user is also able to handle it. I can handle it, but others should also be able to handle it in a better way. It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases. A lot of articles are available, but they need to be in proper documentation. For example, when you have thousands of servers that have to be monitored in different regions of the world, there should be some kind of documentation to describe how you can create proxies and add them. Sometimes, when you are using the database, it can get overloaded. When the network is growing, the number of transactions becomes very high, and the database gets overloaded. There should be information about how to reduce the load on the MySQL database, which is what Zabbix is using. The market is growing a lot, and it should be enhanced for a lot more things. We are currently bringing enhancements at our end for different use cases. For example, when dockerization is going on, how can we check the logs inside the Dockers. We should also be able to monitor and check the number of logins and add features such as SSO login and two-factor authentication as a protocol. These are the security features and concerns that we have to deal with. Currently, we are developing modules to add features to Zabbix, but they should also work on these features."

"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."

"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."

"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."

"The server monitoring could be better."

"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."

"The price is a little bit high, especially because we have to pay an import tax."

"The solution is no more expensive than other products."

"It is costly for small and medium businesses."

"The licensing model is expensive compared to its competitors, but the service it gives to your business, and the data quality, means that it's worth it."

"The product is an open source and free solution."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

"It is open source. If you want to have a subscription or official support, you can pay for it. They have different plans, which are not that expensive. The plans are based on per monitoring server, not per monitored equipment. So, it is not at all expensive, and you can also live without the support if you want a cheaper option."

"It is reasonable."

"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."

"I use the tool's free version."
