Goliath Performance Monitor vs Zabbix comparison

"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."

"Offers a diversity of features."

"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."

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

"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."

"It has good graphs of what is going on within the operating system.​"

"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."

"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."

"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."

"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."

"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."

"The performance reporting could be improved."

"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."

"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."

"The user interface could be better."

"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 product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."

"It could be more stable."

"Implementation is always tailored to the customer and the kind of information we need from the client to carry it out can make them very uncomfortable. Sometimes the clients are not ready to share it."

"The price seems reasonable."

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

"There is no license but we need to pay for support."

"I use the tool's free version."

"It is open source. If you want to have a subscription or official support, you can pay for it. They have different plans, which are not that expensive. The plans are based on per monitoring server, not per monitored equipment. So, it is not at all expensive, and you can also live without the support if you want a cheaper option."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

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

"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."

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