We performed a comparison between SolarWinds AppOptics and Zabbix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product has a great dashboard."
"The reporting of the solution is very good."
"Technical support is always live and they're supportive."
"I have found the most valuable feature is application performance management."
"The sum solution, NTA, and DPA."
"Some of the most valuable features of SolarWinds are the topology discovery and network performance analysis."
"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"It is a great product. The SNMP protocol tracking feature is good. I really like how it tracks SNMP. The alerts are also great."
"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."
"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 calculations part is the most valuable."
"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 implementation needs improvement. It needs to get modernized with the newer cloud scenario in both public and private deployment models."
"In terms of the technology, I think they need to put some more advanced troubleshooting into SolarWinds, in terms of AI capabilities. That's the next generation, especially in the cases of APIs which have already adopted AI capabilities into their products."
"I would like to see more integration with other tools that are available on the market."
"AppOptics would benefit from having a much more centralized view."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The integration with Unix services should be a bit more straightforward."
"The performance reporting could be improved."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"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."
"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."
