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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"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."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features. They are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"I think it's stable, scalable, and flexible."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"The solution is stable."
 

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."
"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 return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"The user interface could be better."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"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."
"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The tool's licensing is good."
"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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"There are no licenses."
"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."
