Alluvio AppResponse vs Zabbix comparison

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

"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."

"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 of Alluvio AppResponse is the actual response time for measuring performance."

"Riverbed's product is a superb product."

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

"We really like the scalability capabilities."

"The best feature is that Zabbix can report everything, and everything in Zabbix is free."

"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."

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

"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."

"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."

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

"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."

"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."

"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."

"They need to better integrate with products and solutions from different vendors."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."

"The server monitoring could be better."

"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."

"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."

"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."

"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."

"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."

"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."

"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 solution is no more expensive than other products."

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."

"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."

"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."

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

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

"We pay the subscription for support by year."
