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."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"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."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"The most valuable function for me is the auto-discovery of interfaces in devices. When you integrate devices into the tool, it automatically finds the interfaces, which is very helpful for my job. Integration and configuration run smoothly in my experience with Juniper and Aruba devices."
"The basic setup is very easy."
More Zabbix pros
 

Cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"In terms of user-friendliness, large maps could be more interactive. We should be able to click on some areas and move some objects. It would make it simpler to see things while analyzing some dedicated parameters."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
More Zabbix cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
"It is reasonable."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."
"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."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
