Riverbed NPM+ vs Zabbix comparison

"Alluvio Network Performance Management is good for troubleshooting."

"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."

"The performance and bandwidth are valuable features."

"The solution is quite mature and very stable."

"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."

"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."

"It not only provides the preconfigured item monitoring feature, but it is also easy to configure custom items."

"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."

"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"

"Alluvio Network Performance Management is good for troubleshooting."

"The performance reporting could be improved."

"The initial setup could be complex if you don't have templates. If creating templates from scratch, it's quite difficult, but if you are using already pre-created templates and setups for your needs, it looks very good."

"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."

"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."

"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."

"The server monitoring could be better."

"The event correlation could be better."

"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."

"The tool's pricing is high and I would rate it one out of ten."

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

"This solution is open-source and free to use."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"

"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."

"It is reasonable."

"Zabbix is open-source so if one wishes to implement it in-house, they must have qualified professionals to set up and optimize databases, Linux/Unix OS, PHP, Apache, and depending on what is monitored, a full-stack network and systems administrator may be needed."
