A highly scalable and stable solution that provides excellent features and can be integrated with any product
The support team is more into R&D. They're not focused on support. The vendor lets the partners provide support for the solution. Partners must have StableNet-certified engineers. Complex problems arise for complex installations. When a problem is deep, it takes a lot of time to resolve it. It goes to the R&D and development teams. They do solve it, but the time taken could be reduced.

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 solution is stable."
"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."
"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."
"The flexibility of taking monitoring data from such a wide variety of platforms - beyond traditional IT - makes Zabbix a highly flexible solution."
"It is a very good product, and it is for a good reason that we have chosen Zabbix as part of our monitoring portfolio."
"The solution allows you to configure and customize how you want to collect information from servers or other systems."
"In our opinion Zabbix is an amazing monitoring solution which allows for any service or device to be monitored."
"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."
"The integration capabilities and APIs are the best part."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
 

Cons

"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
"The solution is expensive."
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually."
"Zabbix is a great tool and fairly easy for a technical person but it could be more friendly for non-technical staff."
"In the area of the solution where you write the command, it is not very user-friendly and could be improved."
"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."
"The only issue I can note is that it's Linux-based, and Linux documentation is not the best."
"Zabbix is not suitable for large networks with 1,000+ nodes, due to PHP performance and Web GUI limitations"
"There are areas of improvement. The database grows really fast. So, when you install Zabbix, you have to deal with some issues, like the database. We become pretty big very fast."
"I really don't like it as it generates a lot of false information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I use the tool's free version."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."
"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."
"We’re using the free version, which covers all our current needs."
"There are no licenses."
"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."
