Engineer at a legal firm with 201-500 employees

Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution

The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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

"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."

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

"The pricing of the product is reasonable."

"I would absolutely recommend Zabbix to others."

"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."

"ZABBIX is an all-in-one monitoring solution and we don't need any other monitoring tool since we use ZABBIX."

"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."

"There are a few problems but if they fix them, then Zabbix is a very good tool compared to others."

"Health and communication links availability."

More Zabbix pros

Cons

"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."

"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."

"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."

"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 System Center Operations Manager can be improved."

"The main problem with Zabbix is that you have to spend time writing templates for all of the products that you have."

"Cloud monitoring can be a bit easier, and the Zabbix dashboard can be developed a little bit more."

"Zabbix is a great tool and fairly easy for a technical person but it could be more friendly for non-technical staff."

"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."

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…
