Saktid Devi Jeyakaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers real-time alerting and dashboards are great for performance hubs of the database
It's primarily for CPU utilization and resource monitoring. Vulnerability scanning falls under OCI Cloud Guard, so it's related to security concerns. Some people might prefer using a third-party tool for more enhanced features. However, I think Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service could be improved to reduce the need for third-party connectivity. So overall, third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service. OCI needs more research and development to understand why clients choose third-party tools like Splunk or QRadar over internal monitoring solutions. There must be some areas where third-party tools are better. OCI could analyze this and improve its service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time alerting is a very important feature. We need alerts for everything. We have alarms setup and get alerts through email or third-party integrations depending on what's happening – critical VMs, high CPU usage, security concerns."
"There is less computing power needed for scaling."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"I use the solution to provide a perfect environment for remote connectivity with my clients."
"The calculations part is the most valuable."
"Zabbix has high scalability. I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"I'm supervising all the IT departments, and Zabbix seems quite good for them. It provides graphics and information in real time. We get alerts about crashes on the system, enabling us to quickly repair issues. We can easily find devices with problems."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."

Cons

"Third-party connectivity is the part that needs improvement within Oracle Infrastructure Monitoring Cloud Service."
"The documentation could be improved."
"It could be more stable."
"Zabbix isn't a great tool for cloud-specific monitoring - its connection to public clouds needs to be improved. Other areas for improvement would be the lack of dashboards and integrations."
"​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​"
"Zabbix could improve when it comes to large-scale use cases. Additionally, the inventory could be better when connecting to other solutions, such as ServiceNow. There show to be better integration with other platforms and storage."
"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"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."
More Zabbix cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For monitoring specifically, it's not that expensive. The licensing is yearly basis."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
"The solution is free. However, many open-sourced tools start out free but eventually start charging."
"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."
"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."
"We were searching for an open source solution and Zabbix fit the bill because it is free and open source under the GPL license."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
