Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Helps reduce response time but has room to improve customization complexity
We are not working on simple standalone solutions like Kaspersky DDoS Protection or Hybrid Cloud Security. Once you understand Zabbix, then it is easy to customize those web pages and graphs for our customer use. It is fully automated to your requirements. Zabbix is working fine with no issues, and I am satisfied with it. We have combined Zabbix and SolarWinds. The integration works fine, and it is easy to integrate Zabbix with the IT environment. We were trying to purchase MDR (Managed Detection and Response), but we are not working on that. I don't have real experience with MDR. We are using Falcon software for that. We are working with Falcon Complete, not with Sandbox. We are not using Kaspersky for business or cloud protection. For that, we are using Zabbix CrowdStrike Falcon Complete solution. I have given this review an overall rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"Zabbix is fully open-source - no paid features/versions, so you get everything for free."
"The most valuable function for me is the auto-discovery of interfaces in devices. When you integrate devices into the tool, it automatically finds the interfaces, which is very helpful for my job. Integration and configuration run smoothly in my experience with Juniper and Aruba devices."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"ZABBIX is an all-in-one monitoring solution and we don't need any other monitoring tool since we use ZABBIX."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
 

Cons

"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."
"For us, the initial setup was complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
