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. 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."

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

"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."

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

"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."

"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."

"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."

"Zabbix is very easy to implement."

"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."

"The best feature is that Zabbix can report everything, and everything in Zabbix is free."

"The solution is stable."

"In our opinion Zabbix is an amazing monitoring solution which allows for any service or device to be monitored."

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

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

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

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

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

"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful."

"Performance is very important to our clients, and this solution doesn't perform very well."

"I really don't like it as it generates a lot of false information."

"The event correlation could be better."

"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."

"The potential and customization is a little difficult because you have to learn scripts."

"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."

"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."

"My advice for anybody who is implementing Zabbix is to seek the help of somebody who has actually done it before; otherwise, it's not worth their time."

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

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

"The price of this product is fair."

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

"There is no license but we need to pay for support."

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

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

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"

"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."

"It is open source. If you want to have a subscription or official support, you can pay for it. They have different plans, which are not that expensive. The plans are based on per monitoring server, not per monitored equipment. So, it is not at all expensive, and you can also live without the support if you want a cheaper option."

"It’s free of cost."

"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."
