Dell CloudIQ vs Zabbix comparison

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."

"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

"The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable."

"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."

"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."

"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."

"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."

"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."

"Zabbix is very easy to implement."

"There is less computing power needed for scaling."

"The initial setup was not complex."

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"For us, the initial setup was complex"

"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."

"When using this solution in enterprise monitoring, you are able to see that there are some issues with equipment that could be causing a problem. Sometimes you want to make a root command that you do not want to be executed automatically. What we have tried to do is open an SSH session directly from the solution's interface but it is not possible."

"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."

"Documentation terminology could be improved."

"The reports are not great and should be improved."

"When it comes to troubleshooting or technical support, there is usually some time lag."

"Zabbix can use better documentation and support for troubleshooting."

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

"There are no licenses."

"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"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."

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

"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
