Dynatrace and Zabbix compete in the monitoring solutions category. Dynatrace appears to have the upper hand with its advanced automation and AI-driven analytics, while Zabbix benefits from its flexibility and customization.
Features: Dynatrace offers advanced AIOps capabilities, automatic anomaly detection, and full-stack coverage. Zabbix provides extensive customization, integration flexibility, and open-source nature.
Room for Improvement: Dynatrace needs better support for non-standard applications, improved pricing models, and enhanced reporting capabilities. Zabbix requires improved reporting capabilities, modernized configuration management, and a more intuitive user interface.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Dynatrace supports seamless cloud-native deployment and robust customer support. Zabbix requires more manual setup with extensive community-driven support but empowers knowledgeable users.
Pricing and ROI: Dynatrace is seen as a higher-cost solution, justified by quick ROI through automation and reduced manual workload. Zabbix, being open-source, offers lower initial setup costs, appealing to budget-conscious users with slower ROI due to manual configuration.
ROI is hard to specify; however, incidents like impending ransomware attacks highlight its value, though those are exceptional events.
They have a good reputation, and the support is commendable.
It is so straightforward that I have never had to use the support.
If it's an enterprise, increasing the number of instances doesn’t pose problems.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
I would rate its scalability ten out of ten.
Generally, all are stable at ninety-nine point nine nine percent, but if the underlying infrastructure is not deployed correctly, stability may be problematic.
Zabbix is very scalable and lightweight.
The definition of enterprise is loosely used, however, from a holistic security perspective, including infrastructure, network, ports, software, applications, transactions, and databases, there are areas lacking, especially in network monitoring tools.
The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best.
It is literally free.
Graduation features offered by Dynatrace provide a single view and can connect with many other monitoring systems.
If disk usage surpasses a threshold, say 70%, I receive alerts and can take proactive action.
