Simplifies monitoring and provides real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise
The product has improved our organization by simplifying monitoring and giving real-time alerts for issues we might not immediately be aware of otherwise. If we notice five devices with latency or errors, I wouldn't know that if I didn't command line into 800 devices and check every day. I can see the status on the dashboard and it just makes it easy to know where the problems are. If we didn't have that capability by using Statseeker, then it would be very complex to monitor. We'd need to have another tool or manually log into every device to try to check things. And this product just does it all for us. That streamlines and improves our workload so that we only need to have two people in our office for the network team. It improves availability. If a circuit goes down texts and email alerts get sent out. So, even if it's in the evening or we're not on premises, we'll know if something's down. We use it all the time because it really helps.

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

"Being able to look back historically at the uptime and downtime is invaluable."
"This solution provides us with a quicker response in troubleshooting."
"The graphics and trends are the most valuable for us."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"The monitoring provided by this solution helps us to track down and solve issues."
"Grouping, Threshold/alerts, Netflow analyser, Private MIB object support are most valuable as they can provide more visibility into network performance, and for network troubleshooting."
"The most important for us is how fast this solution is, as well as the granularity that you can get to, such as per-minute statistics."
"We were having some issues with a certain site, and it was only Statseeker that showed us what the problem was."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"The most valuable features of Zabbix are flexibility and a single interface for different types of monitoring."
"We use Zabbix to monitor our organization's IT infrastructure and workstations. We don't use Microsoft Intune since it's expensive. The tool's real-time alerting system has proved crucial for us, particularly when a new device joins a network that is not one of our own devices. It notifies us about the presence of this new device, allowing us to investigate further. Additionally, it alerts us about disk usage, memory usage, and the software installed on the machine."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
 

Cons

"I would like to see some layer two and layer three topology mappings, similar to what NNMi and SolarWinds presents."
"That user interface for selecting things needs to be a little more intuitive."
"The user interface needs to be made more intuitive."
"It doesn't do absolutely everything and it will require some additional software or hardware support to be a complete single solution."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"If it had more detailed NetFlow information then it would be far better."
"There is a little bit of room to improve in the alerting section to give some more options there. It's all I can think of right now off the top of my head."
"Maybe they could provide a little bit more flexibility on creating custom dashboards."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"The server monitoring could be better."
"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Statseeker is pretty cheap."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"Compared to other solutions such as Zabbix and AKiPS, this solution is very well priced."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"We pay a yearly maintenance fee of approximately $40,000 USD."
"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"It would definitely be a yearly licensing cost, but I don't know what it is."
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"It is reasonable."
"This solution is open-source and free to use."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"We pay the subscription for support by year."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"Its licensing is fair. It seems to be much cheaper than others."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
