HPE System Management Homepage vs Zabbix comparison

"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."

"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."

"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."

"This is a good product and I recommend it."

"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."

"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."

"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."

"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."

"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."

"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."

"The overall functionality of Zabbix is very good. The monitoring of bank applications that Zabbix provides is great. The information is displayed on a dashboard that is easily viewed."

"It's one of the best products available."

"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."

"I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients."

"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"I think that support integration could be improved."

"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."

"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."

"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."

"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."

"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."

"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 solution needs to add remote features."

"The System Center Operations Manager can be improved."

"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."

"For us, the initial setup was complex"

"It should be easy to modify the front end."

"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."

"The price of this product is fair."

"The license was included when we purchased the server."

"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."

"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."

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

"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."

"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

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

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

"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."

"We are using the free, open-source version."
