Goliath Performance Monitor vs Zabbix comparison

"Offers a diversity of features."

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

"The solution is stable."

"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."

"The resource usage, CPU utilization, disk usage, network monitoring, network performance, and alerting features are invaluable."

"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."

"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."

"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."

"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."

"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."

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

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

"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 technical support is sold separately."

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

"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."

"The product could be more secure and more stable."

"For us, the initial setup was complex"

"The reports are not great and should be improved."

"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 price seems reasonable."

"This solution is open-source and free to use."

"The tool's licensing is good."

"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."

"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."

"The product is an open source and free solution."

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."

"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."
