What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used Zabbix for around three weeks on a test basis.
What other advice do I have?
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.
