IDERA Uptime Cloud Monitor [EOL] vs Zabbix comparison

"We were in the need of a fast-to-deploy solution for the external monitoring of our servers, and Copperegg gave us all the needed features plus the internal and custom metrics."

"If you need to have more insight about your data center, Copperegg is the way to go."

"We are using this solution for monitoring our internal network and infrastructure in the company, and also for monitoring a couple of our customers' installations, not only their network but also their services, and to reduce consumption."

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

"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."

"There is a problems page that shows us every warning or problem that occurs on our VMs globally. The map screen is also really useful because this is something that was missing. I don't know every other tool in the market. So, I don't know if this is a good point of only Zabbix, or other tools are also doing it, but from my point of view, this is the most useful page that I use, along with the problems page that efficiently lists the problem, recovery time, ending hours, starting hours, and so on."

"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."

"This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable."

"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."

"It's the best solution. Great. I would rate the overall solution ten out of ten."

"Yes, some days the service was down and we did not find an accurate response from the company."

"There were none, but there were issues with performing upgrades."

"They need to improve the APM solution, the Application Management solution."

"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."

"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."

"It could be more stable."

"I am not giving them a higher rating because they don't have analytics."

"It hasn't really been that stable, but I think that has a lot to do with the specs. It could be more stable."

"Zabbix has it all except for predictive trending."

"For our company, it is not scalable."

"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."

"It is open source. If you want to have a subscription or official support, you can pay for it. They have different plans, which are not that expensive. The plans are based on per monitoring server, not per monitored equipment. So, it is not at all expensive, and you can also live without the support if you want a cheaper option."

"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."

"There is no license but we need to pay for support."
