Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
We use it specifically for Citrix monitoring I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring. I would definitely give them high praise for what they do, and for being a special niche product. I would love to be able to tell what ISP the…

Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes
Our company is a financial organization and we use the solution to check connectivity, CPU utilization, and hard disk utilization for all of our servers. We monitor networks to learn traffic conditions. We use threshold features to compare servers or routers and find each server's size before it…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"I really enjoy network traffic triggers that allow us to check traffic threshold from ISP."
"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"For us, the initial setup was complex"
"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."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"I was using the free, Community Edition."
"It’s free of cost."
"There are no licenses."
"Zabbix is open-source so if one wishes to implement it in-house, they must have qualified professionals to set up and optimize databases, Linux/Unix OS, PHP, Apache, and depending on what is monitored, a full-stack network and systems administrator may be needed."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"Zabbix and Grafana are both open source products, we only needed to go to their website and download the application and we began to use them. The solutions are free."
"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
