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

"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"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."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"If you are serious about your infrastructure then you have to know what is going on, and with Zabbix we know when servers are using too much CPU, memory, disk IO, etc., and besides getting notified when something goes wrong, we are also now aware of how well our infrastructure scales, something that can save us money and frustrations."
"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."
"Before we didn't really have a centrally managed monitoring solution, so adding this product has been a blessing as we are able to actively monitor and react accordingly."
"We are using this solution for monitoring our internal network and infrastructure in the company, and also for monitoring a couple of our customers' installations, not only their network but also their services, and to reduce consumption."
 

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."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"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 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."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"The event correlation could be better. From day one, we're using the API to create tickets for our operations, however, the correlation is not good, not there."
"The stability could be better."
"For us, the initial setup was complex."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"Its licensing is fair. It seems to be much cheaper than others."
"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"Zabbix and Grafana are both open source products, we only needed to go to their website and download the application and we began to use them. The solutions are free."
"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."
"The tool's licensing is good."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
