Helps reduce response time but has room to improve customization complexity
We are not working on simple standalone solutions like Kaspersky DDoS Protection or Hybrid Cloud Security. Once you understand Zabbix, then it is easy to customize those web pages and graphs for our customer use. It is fully automated to your requirements. Zabbix is working fine with no issues, and I am satisfied with it. We have combined Zabbix and SolarWinds. The integration works fine, and it is easy to integrate Zabbix with the IT environment. We were trying to purchase MDR (Managed Detection and Response), but we are not working on that. I don't have real experience with MDR. We are using Falcon software for that. We are working with Falcon Complete, not with Sandbox. We are not using Kaspersky for business or cloud protection. For that, we are using Zabbix CrowdStrike Falcon Complete solution. I have given this review an overall rating of 8.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Centerity is much more than a monitoring tool — it’s a unified, end-to-end, enterprise-class and multi-tenanted AIOps Platform that is purpose-built to help MSPs and data-centers deliver the highest levels of up-time and performance."
"The machine learning feature is valuable."
"The Centerity gives us exactly what we need from performance system monitoring."
"The solution is stable."
"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally, and the map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement and the interface is customizable, so we can create the dashboard that we need."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"We delivered a project for telemetry but not just for IT, monitoring different parameters for radio communication sites and collecting information about alarms and analog values, and we use this system in mission critical applications for radio communications, police, firemen's, health, etcetera."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."
 

Cons

"The GUI must be improved. Graphs must be changed including high level maps"
"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."
"One of the major improvements should be it implementation as a SaaS"
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"I am having difficulties connecting it to Grafana, as well as some of the other plugins like Kibana."
"Overall, setting up Zabbix is a challenge."
"I'm using the free version of Zabbix, and I'd like to see more customization options, especially for setting trigger thresholds."
"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."
"It hasn't really been that stable, but I think that has a lot to do with the specs. It could be more stable."
"The event correlation could be better. From day one, we're using the API to create tickets for our operations, however, the correlation is not good, not there."
"We would like to monitor other touchpoints such as ATM machines. It would be great if it can provide monitoring of ATM machines. Compatibility with other products would also be great."
