Tanium vs Zabbix comparison

"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."

"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."

"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."

"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."

"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."

"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 process is very straightforward."

"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."

"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."

"It can send messages to our ticketing system."

"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."

"It has an intuitive UI with beautiful graphs and customizable maps."

"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."

"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

"The solution lacks mobility."

"The reporting could be improved."

"They could improve the UI."

"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."

"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."

"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."

"The documentation could be improved."

"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."

"Its UI needs to be improved a little bit more so that an end-user is also able to handle it. I can handle it, but others should also be able to handle it in a better way. It becomes complex when we are growing and need to add proxies. We need more scalability features and documentation for different use cases. A lot of articles are available, but they need to be in proper documentation. For example, when you have thousands of servers that have to be monitored in different regions of the world, there should be some kind of documentation to describe how you can create proxies and add them. Sometimes, when you are using the database, it can get overloaded. When the network is growing, the number of transactions becomes very high, and the database gets overloaded. There should be information about how to reduce the load on the MySQL database, which is what Zabbix is using. The market is growing a lot, and it should be enhanced for a lot more things. We are currently bringing enhancements at our end for different use cases. For example, when dockerization is going on, how can we check the logs inside the Dockers. We should also be able to monitor and check the number of logins and add features such as SSO login and two-factor authentication as a protocol. These are the security features and concerns that we have to deal with. Currently, we are developing modules to add features to Zabbix, but they should also work on these features."

"I want Zabbix to improve the UX/UI. Zabbix doesn't use a JavaScript chart for images, and I want them to improve this."

"I have experienced stability issues approximately five or ten times."

"The server monitoring could be better."

"The solution offers value for money."

"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."

"It is higher than some competitors in the market."

"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."

"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"The tool's licensing is good."

"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"

"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."

"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."

"I use the tool's free version."
