This allows for the person responsible to learn a lot with respect to monitoring. As a training tool, it brings trainees up to speed on a lot of concepts quickly. As an open-source tool, it delivers on when compared to its paid alternatives. Setup is relatively easy for an open-source project. The interface is modern, clean, and easy to navigate. Support for popular platforms is wide from operating systems to firewalls and everything in between. Setup is relatively easy for platforms such as operating systems. It can be up and running in less than 15 minutes. The reporting function is excellent with beautiful graphics that show you what you need to know. There are more than enough options for notifications with email, SMS, Teams to mention a few. There is a lot of functionality and documentation before the option to pay for support. Forum support is high and assistance is relatively quick. > > **Cons**: Some of the errors do not provide enough information to troubleshoot issues. Documentation regarding firewalls needs to be updated as some of it is several years old. > > Zabbix solved the monitoring problem for all our platforms at little cost. Troubleshooting is relatively easy once the devices are set up. Zabbix needs less monitoring for it to accomplish its tasks. Alerting and integration is excellent. ----- ### "The best monitoring tool I've used" — 4.0/5 > **Rian** | *October 17, 2024* | Luxury Goods & Jewelry | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's open-source\! What isn't to love about a high quality, highly configurable, high functioning IT management tool that is 100% free. Besides the fact that it's open-source and free, the Zabbix platform is incredibly configurable, meaning it's not one shoe fits all. It can be 100% customised to work for your specific needs in your unique business/IT setup. > > **Cons**: The only thing I would really like, is an officially supported Zabbix mobile app. Although some awesome developer out there has done one themselves, which I've used in the past, one that was properly supported and integrated securely with Zabbix itself would be amazing as someone in IT on the go. > > Zabbix server can be one of the best tools in your IT arsenal, but it does come with quite a steep learning curve. It's an open-source tool, so it does take a lot more time and patience to configure and setup the way you want it to be, but there are a lot of great documentation sites out there including Zabbix's own. Not to mention they have some paid for training courses with certifications, which is awesome. If you spend the time to properly read up on Zabbix and get it setup the way you need it to, I promise you won't regret not paying for an off the shelf SaaS solution. ----- ### "Not as Good As Open Source Alternatives" — 3.0/5 > **Craig** | *August 6, 2018* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a pretty polished product that was easy to implement. > > **Cons**: Doesn't offer same flexibility you get from open source alternatives. ----- ### "Zabbix is a Flexible, Reliable, Extensible monitoring solution" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *November 19, 2019* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zabbix has so many preconfigured templates for servers and service profiles. Is easy to extend and adapt to monitor and alert in new and different ways. Presents a clean dashboard of problem alerts, can track system inventory and can autodiscover hosts and devices. It has become an essential tool for us and is the heart of our business. > > **Cons**: I would like to see it able to run in a leaner hardware profile. Obviously if we're monitoring hundreds of machines we need storage space and cpu/memory to do so, but it can be resource hungry. > > This is the heart of our business and has saved the day a number of times by alerting us to issues before there was a catastrophe. It also helps us to see issues to resolve on our own and our clients systems. This has been the heart of our business for two years. ----- ### "Server monitoring just became easier" — 5.0/5 > **Yasas Sri** | *March 12, 2020* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zabbix is the best open-source monitoring tool that allows me to customize templates as I want to monitor any server and desktop operating system and set different threshold limits for alerts by simply editing the xml file. Not only operating systems, It allows me to monitor VMware ESXi hosts and also the enterprise network devices such as Routers, Switches and Access Points as well. > > **Cons**: With Zabbix, I have tried to monitor Cent OS, Ubuntu OS and Windows 10 OS using SNMP and I have noticed that it takes more time to identify services that are running in the OS (Some times it takes more than 1 hour) and also it can identify only few services with SNMP. But later-on, I have installed Zabbix agents to all the 3 operating systems and then add them to Zabbix server. Then the server started identifying all the host services with in seconds. So, my recommendation is to always use Zabbix Agent if it is available for the client. > > With Zabbix, currently I'm monitoring physical and virtual server performance and usage \[CPU, Memory, Storage, etc\]. I have realized that Zabbix made my life easier since it sends me alerts as e-mails if any issue occurred in my servers. Specially it helps me to manage my server storage since it sends alerts after severs reach the threshold limits, so I am able to take necessary precautions to maintain my servers. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91177/zabbix-monitoring-solution?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91177/zabbix-monitoring-solution) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
