Centerity Monitor vs Zabbix comparison

"The machine learning feature is valuable."

"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."

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

"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."

"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."

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

"For us, the initial setup was complex"

"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."

"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."

"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."

"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."

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

"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."

"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

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

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

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

"It is reasonable."
