Centerity Monitor vs Zabbix comparison

"The machine learning feature is valuable."

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

"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."

"The initial setup was not complex."

"The solution is quite mature and very stable."

"The basic setup is very easy."

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

"The product is very stable."

"Zabbix is very easy to implement."

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."

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

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

"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."

"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."

"I think the reporting part of Zabbix can be improved in terms of more user-friendly graphics to display the collected data. Many simple users who don't know how to use Zabbix properly might get confused by the reporting, although at the same time it is very versatile for my company."

"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."

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

"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

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

"It’s free of cost."
