Alluvio AppResponse vs Zabbix comparison

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

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

"The most valuable feature is performance monitoring."

"Riverbed's product is a superb product."

"When it comes to the ability to scale up the product, this is suitable for small medium and large environments,"

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

"I have found the AppResponse, which is a packet capture solution, very good. It gives you the ability to drill down back in time. You've got all the packets there. You can troubleshoot it later, not immediately. It's very interesting."

"You need a packet capture device to perform any type of network monitoring. It helps ensure that network overloads don't happen with alerts allowing for proactive decisions."

"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."

"The solution allows for good integration with other products."

"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."

"The implementation process is very straightforward."

"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."

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

"It's the best solution. Great. I would rate the overall solution ten out of ten."

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

"Alluvio AppResponse should improve its ability to expand across multiple operating systems."

"The recent changes in corporate structure may have caused some decrease in support quality."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"We would like to see the addition of automatic push functionality to this product. This would save time when monitoring our servers and networks as, at present, we have to manually install the Zabbix agent on any hardware to be monitored."

"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."

"When it comes to troubleshooting or technical support, there is usually some time lag."

"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."

"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."

"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."

"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."

"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."

"It is costly for small and medium businesses."

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

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

"Zabbix and Grafana are both open source products, we only needed to go to their website and download the application and we began to use them. The solutions are free."

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."

"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."

"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."

"This solution is open-source and free to use."

"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"We are using the free, open-source version."
