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

"We can integrate any tool with StableNet."
"The best features are the reporting, utilization, and network graph."
"The solution is stable."
"Zabbix is fully scalable, with no limitations in that regard."
"The pricing of the product is reasonable."
"Through this approach, and given the level of details, we get friendly dashboards in the output, and at the same time a simple problem of localization tool."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"It can send messages to our ticketing system."
"We delivered a project for telemetry but not just for IT, monitoring different parameters for radio communication sites and collecting information about alarms and analog values, and we use this system in mission critical applications for radio communications, police, firemen's, health, etcetera."
"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive."
"The dashboard has a lot of room for improvement."
"The existing dashboard capability is there, but it is not user-friendly."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"The process is easy and straightforward, but the product itself is not easy to use."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"The only issue we have had with Zabbix is when we decided to make an update or upgrade."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"It's OK for me as is, but some frontend improvements would be nice."
"If anything could be improved, it would be some of the terminology that is used in the documentation."
"I really don't like it as it generates a lot of false information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are no licenses."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"
"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."
"Its licensing is fair. It seems to be much cheaper than others."
"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 a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."

Nagios vs. Zabbix vs. PRTG vs. Spiceworks vs. Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor
