Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 10, 2024

AppNeta by Broadcom and Zabbix compete in network performance monitoring and management. AppNeta has advantages in features and pricing, while Zabbix's strengths are in customization and community support.

Features: AppNeta by Broadcom offers comprehensive network visibility, proactive performance analytics, and real-time user experience monitoring, ideal for enterprises requiring quick insights and efficient network utilization. Zabbix provides advanced monitoring capabilities, extensive scalability options, and robust customization features, making it a suitable choice for businesses needing detailed control and flexibility in their monitoring processes.

Room for Improvement: AppNeta could enhance its feature set to provide more advanced customization options, improve integration with diverse tech ecosystems, and refine its reporting tools for greater granularity. Zabbix may need to streamline its user interface, improve documentation for beginners, and expand its native support for third-party integrations to enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: AppNeta offers a straightforward deployment process with responsive customer support, aiding in minimizing setup time. Zabbix, being open-source, often requires more expertise during initial deployment, but users benefit from a strong community-driven support network that offers diverse solution paths.

Excellent support, easy configuration, and a reliable tool to know what the problem is and where the problem is

They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes. Currently, when we have short-duration problems, we use a different tool, but we only use that different tool for short-duration problems. With AppNeta, as long as the problem exists for more than a few minutes, such as within 10 to 15 minutes, we can normally tell where the problem is. However, most of the problems that we deal with are intermittent. They're very rarely a permanent condition that needs to be addressed. That makes it more difficult to troubleshoot. We would look to see at least two or three events and hope they show the same results to raise our confidence that we've actually found the problem, rather than just a problem.

Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes

Our company is a financial organization and we use the solution to check connectivity, CPU utilization, and hard disk utilization for all of our servers. We monitor networks to learn traffic conditions. We use threshold features to compare servers or routers and find each server's size before it…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."

"The product helps us understand networks and user experience. It helps us to understand the issues."

"The solution's technical support is very good."

"This solution helps prove that, if we move to cloud, we'll still be as effective as we are on-premises."

"We get complete, hop-by-hop visibility into the internet and we can know how much latency is taking place from one hop to another. That way, we know whether a particular hop belongs to the ISP, or that it is something owned by our own client's office, or is something to do with the SaaS network."

"The main feature that we use is what they call Delivery, which is the testing of network paths end-to-end."

"Delivery and experience are valuable. The usage in terms of the traffic application captures and other similar things is also valuable."

"A lot of times one of the AppNeta transactions showed that there is an issue, whereas everything seemed to be working properly. Once we dug into it, we realized that it really was highlighting a problem that otherwise we would not have seen."

"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."

"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."

"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."

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

"The most valuable feature is monitoring."

"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."

"Health and communication links availability."

"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."

More Zabbix pros

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"I think some of the product's documentation has shortcomings and needs improvement."

"AppNeta by Broadcom needs to add more features to its dashboards. It also needs to work on providing out-of-the-box reports."

"Having to deal with configuring the end devices using a USB stick is a bit cumbersome. It would be nice if there was a better way of handling that."

"Cloud monitoring could be better. That's one of the biggest pain points for me. I have shared this feedback with them multiple times, but they're limited to some extent. That's one area where I've seen a problem."

"They should try and make diagnostics run a bit quicker. When the problem occurs on a network, AppNeta runs automatic diagnostics on the end-to-end path. The path it was testing only to the destination, it now runs the same test to all of the devices and all the intermediate devices. Depending on the number of intermediate devices, it can take several minutes to run. If we're trying to find or diagnose a problem that only lasts two or three minutes, it may be that the diagnostics is still running by the time the problem is cleared. The only thing, which I have also mentioned to AppNeta in the past, is that there should be much faster and much more lightweight diagnostics, which can be completed within 30 seconds or one minute, rather than in 5 to 10 minutes."

"Instead of integrating with other people, they should expand their interior capabilities."

"I would like to see some advanced dashboard features. It could also be integrated with third-party tools. For example, an integration with a reporting solution would be helpful. Out-of-the-box, there are few dashboards or reports. What it does have is useful, but there should be additional dashboards."

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

"The performance reporting could be improved."

"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."

"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."

"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."

"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."

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

"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"I find the solution's price to be fairly good."

"The small probe is probably around $3,000 and the very large probe that they make for massive data centers might be $50,000 or $60,000. It's a subscription model, so the payment is per year."

"Broadcom software is always a little expensive because they provide quality."

"I inherited this from a different version, and I haven't yet gone through a renewal because we had purchased three years upfront. So, to me, that still remains to be seen. Once it comes up for renewal, we'll see what happens. Especially because now it is Broadcom, it is going to change anyway."

"We typically don't get involved in the commercial side, but the list price is probably something like $3,000 for a small probe. However, that gives all of the features that the probe can do, whether or not you use them. In the old days, up until two or three years ago, each of the separate features was a separately licensable module so that you could add things that you wanted, and you didn't have to add things that you didn't want. They've changed all that now, and everything the probe can do is a part of the base license."

"It's worth the money."

"AppNeta by Broadcom is not expensive."

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

"I use the tool's free version."

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"

"The solution is open source so is free."

"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
