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.

Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes
We have not yet purchased the commercial version so have a lack of technical ability. We do not yet fully know the key points or key features of the solution. We just use what we use along with WhatsUp Gold. Based on our use only, stability is rated a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"Dashboard and the customization of the items and triggers are the most valuable features."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"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."
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."
"​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​"
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."
"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."
"I was using the free, Community Edition."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."
"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."
"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…
