We can set up a dashboard to monitor the status of an entire site, which provides more insight into any issues across devices
One engineer is enough for the solution's maintenance. There has been a significant improvement in Statseeker in the last few versions. It includes a wallet map and features we plan to implement when deploying the latest or penultimate versions across all our sites. This will significantly assist in identifying sites surpassing thresholds or KPIs, making issue detection much more accessible. The threshold feature is handy for identifying delays and major outages. This graphical map enables us to quickly assess the scope of nationwide problems, allowing for swift action and efficient reporting to management and service providers. This tool facilitates monitoring by visualizing all network elements with their respective coordinates, highlighting any downtimes or issues through color-coded green for operational, orange for approaching thresholds, yellow for minor alarms, and red for critical issues. The tool is a monitoring tool that helps in identifying problems. It is necessary to have someone trained to set up the dashboards because they might require some programming or specific configuration skills. Once it's configured, it works well. It's not as straightforward as other tools where you plug in the device, and everything works. With Statseeker, you still need to put in some effort to set up your dashboard properly. It requires someone with good training and proficiency in setting up these dashboards. They can benefit the technical and operations teams, providing useful insights into the network and the executive management team to receive reports on the overall network health. Overall, I 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

"This solution allowed us to track down trouble users."
"We are a smaller enterprise, but we're watching approximately fifteen-thousand switchboards with no problem at all."
"Whether it is a down network switch or a down router, we can get back online faster for the customers."
"We are now able to easily track where problems are with bandwidth and port errors, rather than having to do a lot of diagnostics."
"We're able to recover more expensive ports on our access line devices."
"Summary Reports provide a quick way to identify where potential issues are. Drill-downs provide more granular details very quickly."
"It catches frequent flapping of the network and provides detailed reports of outages."
"Statseeker helps to quickly see if you have a spike or something going on. In the future, we need to get NetFlow in the tool so we can see what the IP is."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"The most valuable features in Zabbix are those that help us overcome bottlenecks in CPU usage, as well as reduce memory delay. I know that we have only reached the tip of the iceberg of what Zabbix's features can do for us, and we have not used all of them yet."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring."
"The calculations part is the most valuable."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"The solution's design has recently changed and it is visually pleasing with more color, for example, there is blue, black, and white."
 

Cons

"This solution would be improved with better automatic discovery for ping-only devices."
"It could use more features on Netflow analyser, such as time series graphs and a single network export UDP port and UDP forwarding."
"I would like to see a friendlier user interface in the administration tool."
"The user interface needs a great deal of improvement."
"I would like to see fully automatic updates so that our version is always current."
"More private MIB object support, such as WAN optimisation performance and wireless, would be helpful."
"I would like the ability to update the dashboard. I would also like the ability to access via an API. Then I could produce a dashboard that my C level can understand. This is just so they can go and refresh whenever they want to and see what things look like."
"It would be very nice to have the Cisco ACI option included in the regular license."
"There are a lot of areas for improvement, specifically in the dashboards and reports functionalities."
"The reports are not great and should be improved."
"It could be more stable."
"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."
"The user interface could be better."
"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."
"​I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes.​"
"The solution needs to add remote features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable but licensing should unlimited."
"We pay somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 yearly in licensing fees."
"This tool would probably be priced well if it had deeper NetFlow capabilities, but for our use case, in particular, we're only recovering ports after ninety days and looking at circuit congestion, it's pretty pricey."
"The licensing cost is yearly and it's $5,000 to $8,000, I think."
"One thing that needs improvement is how it's licensed. I understand historically the company licensed it off a same charge for everyone. I understand the company needs to make money, but how they introduced the tiered licensing model, and then multiple layers of licensing was a bit of an issue. So, on the whole, coming up with a licensing model that isn't confusing and complicated and is easy to understand would be one way to improve the product. They have told me lately that they're changing how they license stuff, but they haven't made that - as I understand it - in their marketing material public knowledge as of yet. I would say that at the moment it's a bit convoluted. It's confusing. Some of their basic licensing model is a bit of a ripoff. If you go over five or ten support calls in the basic licensing model they start charging you for support calls. I think that's a bit rich."
"When it came to selecting this solution, it came down to cost."
"We now feel the pricing is a good value. Previously we had a just a normal license but now we've got an Enterprise license. Since the Enterprise, it's been a lot better value. We did think it was pretty expensive before, but with the Enterprise license it's almost less than half that price. If you have a number of accounts within the organization that use Statseeker, I would suggest get the Enterprise license."
"We paid $5,000 to $10,000 a year in maintenance."
"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."
"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."
"It is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."
"There is no license but we need to pay for support."
"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."
"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."
"If you have 20,000 hosts, the support costs around €95,000 for a year."
