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 managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The alerting systems are very good in Zabbix, and it has helped us to reduce time for reaction."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"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."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"The only issue we have had with Zabbix is when we decided to make an update or upgrade."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The price of this product is fair."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"The product is an open source and free solution."
"I was using the free, Community Edition."
"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
"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."
"There are no licenses."
