User-friendly, simple to set up and easy to configure
The dashboard needs to improve. It's not so clear right now. We need it to be more usable. We want all of our reports in one easy-to-access place. Sometimes we get stuck and have to rest the gateway. After we do that, it'll start working again. We're still new to the product and we're not using every aspect of it.
ASM Naushad Alam - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes
We have not yet purchased the commercial version so have a lack of technical ability. We do not yet fully know the key points or key features of the solution. We just use what we use along with WhatsUp Gold. Based on our use only, stability is rated a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can customize alerts based on need."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"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's the best solution. Great. I would rate the overall solution ten out of ten."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"The calculations part is the most valuable."
 

Cons

"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"If Zabbix had a better dashboard then it would be nice."
"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."
"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."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."
"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."
"There are no licenses."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…

What do you like most about Zabbix?
The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration.
What needs improvement with Zabbix?
For me, Zabbix is very straightforward. I cannot think of any improvements needed. It's a very mature product. The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the...
