Zabbix Reviews

We use Ubuntu for the distribution of our products and our web application firewall. Previously, I have also used a desktop version of Ubuntu on my laptop. We use this operating system for our Zabbix server as well, for monitoring, testing, and so on. 

We mostly use a server version, so it's only a command console. There's no graphical interface. 

This solution is deployed both on-premise and on cloud. 

Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software. 

As far as improvements, sometimes I get a bit frustrated when I move from a previous version to a new one because some configuration has changed—I need to investigate the documentation to deal with some configuration. But it doesn't take much time, so it's okay. 

I don't have any requests for additional features. 

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for a little over 10 years. 

Ubuntu is stable. 

This solution is scalable, but the scalability is more appropriate for hardware, not for the operating system. 

In my company, there are only a few users dealing with the desktop version of the Ubuntu operating system. As far as production environments and testing servers, there are maybe a few dozen users. 

We have never contacted technical support. We've never had any problems which demanded support from the Ubuntu teams. 

Before using Ubuntu Linux, I used CentOS, Debian, and Kali Linux. 

The installation is really easy. The timeframe depends on the hardware speed, so it's rather fast. I handled the installation by myself. 

We don't actually have a technical team specific to Ubuntu—they're all IT guys, so we all have good skills for doing things ourselves. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

I'm surprised that Ubuntu Linux has a paid license, even some supporting stuff included. We don't use the paid version, we only use the common edition. 

I rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 out of 10. It's really great. I recommend Ubuntu Linux to others who are looking into implementing this OS. 

The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines.

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 used Zabbix for around three weeks on a test basis.

I really do not like this solution, almost all of its features are awful. I would rate it nine out of ten for on-premises environments but five out of ten for cloud platforms or BAS.

We are using Zabbix for monitoring our servers and to display network traffic.

The most valuable feature is network traffic monitoring.

When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it.

I have been using Zabbix for a year and a half.

This product is quite stable.

We have not had to contact technical support.

The initial setup is not complex. In fact, it's quite easy.

It was quite quick to deploy.

We have our own team who installed it and know how it is used.

This solution is completely open-source, so it is quite affordable.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
