HPE System Management Homepage vs Zabbix comparison

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

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

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

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

"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."

"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."

"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."

"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."

"If you’re into the Open Source and freedom principles, don’t mind getting your hands dirty, and have the technical skills, Zabbix is a good choice."

"We delivered a project for telemetry but not just for IT, monitoring different parameters for radio communication sites and collecting information about alarms and analog values, and we use this system in mission critical applications for radio communications, police, firemen's, health, etcetera."

"When you learn how to work with it, you will love it."

"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."

"For internal monitoring and network monitoring the solution is really good."

"ZABBIX is an all-in-one monitoring solution and we don't need any other monitoring tool since we use ZABBIX."

"This is a product I can recommend to others."

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

"I think that support integration could 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 product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."

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

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

"I think ZABBIX needs improved report functions."

"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."

"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration."

"Overall, setting up Zabbix is a challenge."

"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."

"The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best."

"The Java gateway for monitoring Java applications didn’t work for us."

"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."

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

"The price of this product is fair."

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

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

"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."

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

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

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

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

"I was using the free, Community Edition."
