We performed a comparison between Dynatrace and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It reduces time and provides detailed info, showing problem correlation, and a single point of diagnosis."
"The deployment configuration and everything is simple. It is not that complicated."
"PurePath does deep dive analysis, has dashboards, and provides real user experience monitoring. It has allowed us to do analysis which was never possible before."
"For cloud, AI has been pretty useful so far when it comes to IT's ability to scale."
"We can go back to when a specific user had an issue and trace the entire transaction from the client to the database."
"We’re monitoring our SQL databases, we’re monitoring our microservices infrastructure, we’re monitoring our front-end we’re monitoring our mobile apps. It has increased our productivity, we’ve been able to optimize all of our applications."
"Dynatrace has the most features compared to other products we looked at."
"Dynatrace has helped us reduce outage times and severity of impact."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The solution allows for good integration with other products."
"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"The web-based UI needs to be improved."
"Definitely something to be improved is that OneAgent runs as a route, and not all applications want to run as route. Part of the problem is different technology companies will have various rules, regulations, and policies around what can run as a route."
"The solution could improve on integration, cloud services, and making the configuration less difficult."
"They expect the customer to do the basic analysis, do all the solutions, and find the solutions themselves. If it is really a product problem, only then will they be able to identify and spend time on the customer."
"The one area that we get value out of now, where we would love to see additional features, is the Session Replay. The ability to see how one individual uses a particular feature is great. But what we'd really like to be able to see is how a large group of people uses a particular feature. I believe Dynatrace has some things on its roadmap to add to Session Replay that would allow us those kinds of insights as well."
"The web interface, in some cases, is a little ambiguous to use."
"Needs a greater meta data capture."
"More visibility into Python processes."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
"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."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
Dynatrace is ranked 2nd in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability with 341 reviews while Zabbix is ranked 10th in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability with 101 reviews. Dynatrace is rated 8.8, while Zabbix is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of Dynatrace writes "AI identifies all the components of a response-time issue or failure, hugely benefiting our triage efforts". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Zabbix writes "Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes". Dynatrace is most compared with Datadog, New Relic, AppDynamics, Splunk Enterprise Security and Azure Monitor, whereas Zabbix is most compared with Centreon, Checkmk, SolarWinds NPM, Nagios Core and Nagios XI.
