Featured Reviews

Saktid Devi Jeyakaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers real-time alerting and dashboards are great for performance hubs of the database
It's primarily for CPU utilization and resource monitoring. Vulnerability scanning falls under OCI Cloud Guard, so it's related to security concerns. Some people might prefer using a third-party tool for more enhanced features. However, I think Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service could be improved to reduce the need for third-party connectivity. So overall, third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service. OCI needs more research and development to understand why clients choose third-party tools like Splunk or QRadar over internal monitoring solutions. There must be some areas where third-party tools are better. OCI could analyze this and improve its service.

Allows any number of customizations but lacks functionality for finding root causes
We have not yet purchased the commercial version so have a lack of technical ability. We do not yet fully know the key points or key features of the solution. We just use what we use along with WhatsUp Gold. Based on our use only, stability is rated a seven 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

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."
"SNMP monitoring, source discovery, and alert triggering are most valuable."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"Health and communication links availability."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
More Zabbix pros
 

Cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
"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."
"To improve Zabbix, adding more features to support the monitoring of modern workloads like containers would be beneficial."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."
"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
More Zabbix cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
"There is no license but we need to pay for support."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."
"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."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."
