We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"It's user friendly."
"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"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 helps to save time."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The product must improve its support team."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"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."
"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."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
