Centerity Monitor vs Zabbix comparison

"The machine learning feature is valuable."

"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."

"Zabbix is scalable."

"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."

"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."

"The most valuable feature is the support for monitoring Cisco switches."

"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."

"The pricing of the product is reasonable."

"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."

"They can improve the functionality that provides some numbers related to the behavior of the metrics."

"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."

"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."

"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."

"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."

"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."

"The networking monitor is not too easy to work with."

"Look and feel."

"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."

"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."

"We are using the free, open-source version."

"There are no licenses."

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

"Zabbix is open-source so if one wishes to implement it in-house, they must have qualified professionals to set up and optimize databases, Linux/Unix OS, PHP, Apache, and depending on what is monitored, a full-stack network and systems administrator may be needed."

"It’s free of cost."

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

"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
