A tool that helps a user speed up the process of installation and automate certain processes
Για τη συντήρηση προϊόντων, το Kaseya IT Center τοποθετεί τα νέα αρχεία στο αποθετήριο και αυτά αντιγράφονται με διακομιστές, επομένως όταν εκτελούμε μια εντολή στην εταιρεία μας, αυτή διέρχεται από τους διακομιστές. Μερικές φορές, υπάρχουν ορισμένες περιοχές που οφείλονται σε αλλοιώσεις του προϊόντος, αλλά δεν πειράζει, καθώς το Kaseya IT Center διορθώνει το πρόβλημα γρήγορα. Στο παρελθόν, είχαμε κάποια μεγάλα προβλήματα με τους διακομιστές του προϊόντος να είναι εκτός λειτουργίας για περίπου τρεις εβδομάδες λόγω κάποιας επίθεσης ransomware που έλαβε χώρα σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Όχι μόνο η εταιρεία μας, αλλά όλοι στον κόσμο που χρησιμοποιούσαν το προϊόν επηρεάστηκαν από αυτήν. Το προϊόν έχει βελτιώσει το επίπεδο ασφαλείας του και προς το παρόν η εταιρεία μας δεν αντιμετωπίζει κανένα πρόβλημα με τη λύση. Συνιστώ το προϊόν σε άλλους που σκοπεύουν να το χρησιμοποιήσουν, καθώς είναι ένα ωραίο προϊόν που σας επιτρέπει να κάνετε εύκολα τη δουλειά σας, ενώ παράλληλα σας επιτρέπει να αναλάβετε το κομμάτι της αντιμετώπισης προβλημάτων. Βαθμολογώ το συνολικό εργαλείο με οκτώ στα δέκα.

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

"Kaseya IT Center is a platform that is growing all the time and expanding with more scripts and new capabilities, and it is useful and very easy to learn."
"It is a product that is very easy to learn."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Kaseya's Synthetic Backup functionality impressed me."
"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."
"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."
"By using the solution, we moved from a reactionary approach to a proactive evaluation of our equipment/systems."
"It's a flexible solution."
"Zabbix is very flexible and scalable."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
 

Cons

"Agent communications with the server often fails if Internet access is slow."
"In Kaseya, agents are shown as offline at times, and it is an area that is being improved."
"At times, there is degradation in performance."
"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."
"For our company, it is not scalable."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"Having a more customizable interface and dashboard would be an improvement."
"I am not giving them a higher rating because they don't have analytics."
"As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay."
"The reporting is lacking because this is an open-source tool, and nowadays, management's expectation is that the reports should be of high quality and every information should be presented in a concise manner."
"In the area of the solution where you write the command, it is not very user-friendly and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"Its licensing is fair. It seems to be much cheaper than others."
"We are using the free, open-source version."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."
"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."
"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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…

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Zabbix?
I think Zabbix is economical, whereas SolarWinds is expensive. SolarWinds has a lot of secure features, but Zabbix is providing everything free of cost. Zabbix is economical, and you can install it...
What needs improvement with Zabbix?
I am using only Area Operations, but I don't prefer it. I installed Zabbix for the 3000 devices. Area Operations is not good.
What is your primary use case for Zabbix?
I am still working with VMware and Area Operations, but I installed Zabbix now. I think Zabbix is better than VMware Area Operations. It's really good. I'm working with both Zabbix and VMware now.
