Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive
It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.
B Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables seamless global client monitoring with reliable remote connectivity
I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients. Many tools that I require for system maintenance are included. I can easily monitor all of my clients throughout the world I did not give much thought to it, however, improvements could be made to Zabbix.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."
"Offers a diversity of features."
"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is monitoring."
"Zabbix is very easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature is the protocol to manage anything."
 

Cons

"Issues with generating reports; consistency is not there."
"I would love to be able to tell what ISP the user is coming from."
"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."
"I have experienced stability issues approximately five or ten times."
"Zabbix does not draw automatic mapping of the network, this is something they should add in the future. There is a lot of effort that is involved in tailoring some of the settings which could be made easier."
"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"The dashboard and the graph section could be a little bit more professional."
"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 System Center Operations Manager can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price seems reasonable."
"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."
"This solution is open-source and free to use."
"It is reasonable."
"Zabbix and Grafana are both open source products, we only needed to go to their website and download the application and we began to use them. The solutions are free."
"The tool's licensing is good."
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
I have researched a quite a few network monitoring tools which can be used for various monitoring purposes of not only the servers, but the intermediate routers as well. There are majorly three types of these softwares. Ones which are completely open-source, you can do almost anything you want…
