Server monitoring just became easier
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is the best open-source monitoring tool that allows me to customize templates as I want to monitor any server and desktop operating systems and set different threshold limits for alerts by simply editing a xml file.
Not only operating systems, It allows me to monitor VMware ESXi hosts and also the enterprise network devices such as Routers, Switches and Access Points as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
With Zabbix, I have tried to monitor Cent OS, Ubuntu OS and Windows 10 OS using SNMP and I have noticed that it takes more time to identify services that are running in the host system (Some times it takes more than 1 hour) and also it can identify only few services with SNMP.
But later-on, I have installed Zabbix agents to all the 3 operating systems and then add them to Zabbix server. Then the server started identifying all the host services with in seconds. So, my recommendation is to always use Zabbix Agent if it is available for the client.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Zabbix, currently I'm monitoring physical and virtual server performance and usage [CPU, Memory, Storage, etc].
I have realized that Zabbix made my life easier since it sends me alerts as e-mails if any issue occurred in my servers. Specially it helps me to manage my server storage since it sends alerts after severs reach the threshold limits, so I am able to take necessary precautions to maintain my servers even though I'm at home.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always use Zabbix Agent if it is available for the client rather than SNMP.
Immediately, the best tool to understand what works and what needs attention in your data center (CED)
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is a great tool for automation control. It easily assists administration in managing permissions and roles for users. The audit view of the custom log can be modified according to roles and permissions to maintain data confidentiality. The trigger display can be customized. The availability report has a new time filter that can be used to select a time range to view specific data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The detection of problems and metric collection visualization should be configurable for each user view. The configuration needs event correlation to activate points and should come with a test function key to verify functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
End-to-end security and distributed monitoring help to track and control remote data centers. Zabbix, through proxy servers, helps to isolate the network and speed up the response from the node. The best thing I like about Zabbix is that the agents do not become outdated. The new version of Zabbix always supports its previous version of the agent. Zabbix 4.X also supports IPv4 or IPv6 or mixes the Internet protocol for addressing, which saved us a lot of time in the total integration with AWS EC2 in the cloud.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The predefined templates make it easier to get started and provide some study examples, but this is not a plug and play application, so it is necessary to read at least the official knowledge base or specific manuals for the version in use.
Poorly documented and complicated for the network but perfect for systems and SNMP hosts!
What do you like best about the product?
We installed Zabbix almost two months ago. I heard from a friend who works in a web company as a Linux systems admin. Very simple installation, you can find many documents on the official site and the web. But the configuration is a bit complicated for a network guy. I am a network engineer and it is a system monitoring tool. My friend tells me it's better for system monitoring, but in my opinion, if you want network monitoring, you can use different software.
What do you dislike about the product?
My experience with Zabbix has been perfect, so there's nothing to complain about except the lack of a truly comprehensive manual for the deployment and initial configuration of the supported and long-term updated version 4.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our servers were in Zabbix, as we have a lot of e-commerce sites, we need to monitor them to avoid any issues on the site and losing our sales, so Zabbix has helped us a lot to always see it and quickly resolve any problem that it shows us, also through alerts on Telegram or on modern chats configured on our smartphones for paging functionality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it to have everything protected, so you can always see what's happening with your link, then everything will be under control with a good monitoring team. It's better to spend time setting up a monitoring system rather than having to restore clusters and hosts after various disasters and crashes.
APIs completely open, documented, and integrable practically with any language, perfect!
What do you like best about the product?
We have used Zabbix for several years across multiple data centers. In the initial phase, the delegated monitoring capability solved some problems for us. Over the years, it has scaled very well, and we regularly monitor thousands of virtual machines with hundreds of monitored items each. The API works quite well, and we have been able to write very useful automation within it. We monitor our most important servers with Zabbix, and it works very well.
What do you dislike about the product?
We should probably limit the default length for new story elements. Initially, we had scaling issues because we had so much history to move. The web user interface in previous versions is not very nice. It's improving, but there are a couple of versions behind.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through the APIs, we were able to integrate a Telegram bot and a WhatsApp bot capable of alerting the appropriate people and teams for each type of problem or alert arising from more or less critical resources. The alerting is immediate and can include both graphs and histograms, as well as detailed texts of errors, issues, and timestamps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learning the API has been useful for creating very specific automation and dashboards. I would recommend learning the API early to fully realize its benefits, as it is possible to completely query the values of Zabbix, alerts, alarms, and triggers with the simplicity of a GET call or a POST request with both XML and JSON output.
Absolutely economical and the free open-source version already allows for complete monitoring.
What do you like best about the product?
Adapting it to your environment and personalizing it also takes some time, but in the end, it is something that will help you save yourself from device-by-device control. My experience has been very positive, I have used many monitoring tools that were also good, but this is the one that convinced me the most. It takes time for implementation but it is understood that it is a free tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes patience and time to adjust the trigger so that it only shows the problems that actually exist in the infrastructures, but once it is adapted to your needs, it becomes an ally in being aware of resources and being able to react in time. When a problem arises with the tool, there aren't many forums and it requires investing time in finding the solution. In almost a year and a half that I've had the tool, I've only had the monitoring stop for a few hours because the service was interrupted; I found the cause by searching in the forums and was able to solve the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have implemented the device with Ubuntu and if you follow the installation manual, it is simple. You can add a variety of monitoring resources and the triggers can be customized according to your needs. The dashboard gives you a very broad view of all the computer's resources and allows you to prioritize more efficiently. You can create your own maps, review detailed resource graphs, create macros, and view online information of all devices. Overall, it is a very useful tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Support tickets sound expensive if you purchase some starter packs, so an Enterprise package is always recommended if it is necessary for its implementation in the complete infrastructure of a large organization.
Proactive alerting is always essential, Zabbix helps to achieve it fully.
What do you like best about the product?
For my team, it has proven to be a performant and optimal monitoring tool based on the solid Linux kernel, free and open source with an effective dashboard. Implementation of new hosts, items, and triggers is quite simple, a complete web-based tool (I presume PHP) with ease of adding hosts that need to be monitored on a single configuration web browser but with multiuser support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Paid support and the community is not very active today, the knowledge base guides are available but for previous versions and not for version 4 LTS. Difficulty in creating objects and, moreover, monitoring Windows Hypervisor is difficult compared to monitoring other open source virtualization servers like Proxmox or OpenStack. The predefined charts selectable in the non-enterprise version are inferior compared to other monitoring tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to Zabbix, my team that deals with software-defined networking is able to fully and quickly know in real-time the entire state of the logical controller behind the applied networking configurations, so as to timely detect and resolve any issues related to latencies or high CPU loads, which are often frequent in SDN systems during the processing of routing and switching information with a large number of entries, saving a lot of time in debugging and resolving fatal crashes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Integrate with Bash scripting or Python rather than buying very expensive and less customizable templates; open source is increasingly scalable and migratable in the future towards different services.
The most one can expect from open-source for monitoring critical and production systems
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix was mostly created during the time it was created precisely for this. This is everything that happens in a fun way like everything and still. Zabbix is very nice and well made to be used.
What do you dislike about the product?
So, we are really trying to kick off Zabbix. What I like most about everything is the beauty and similarity of all this. It's not really a challenge to start and change the thing. You can also choose your love and all your thoughts. Moreover, this is a real dream and if you don't like something and you can do it, you can do it. The ideas help to understand that the questions have been retrieved and many have been made throughout the course.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
However, I don't think I had to do anything about what is being said to make it happen. I should understand what is there, the choice is absolutely not as it could be. I am one of the authors of what was necessary. I thought that the deceased should have let go and understood something important and of great significance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are many pieces of equipment for which ready-made models do not exist. It takes a lot of time to search for models on the Internet. And writing models by oneself is very problematic.
Moderately easy to set up, but once active, it helps a lot in daily work, brilliant
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setting up our various systems in Zabbix and reviewing recorded metrics in a GUI are probably the best features for our team. We have a lot of resources and are not generally pushing them to the limit. However, when issues arise, the ability to analyze and correlate the load across multiple hosts has been a great win.
What do you dislike about the product?
A monitoring system and the story of the boy who cried wolf, the two would never meet. Unfortunately, we have some situations where we receive so many messages about an error that it leads to the formation of bad habits. This is largely due to our system architecture and the way specific monitors detect and report the same issue across multiple hosts. In particular, the memory usage on a shared mount. We have made progress in solving this problem, but it continues to be a source of spam and desensitization to warning messages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have several hosts on multiple tests and an operational environment. Being able to integrate the monitoring of those into a single monitoring solution has been a critical aspect of our approach to systems. Being able to create custom screens/dashboards for metrics of great interest makes it easier to filter out the noise and focus on what matters most to us.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have used other monitoring systems like Nagios and Hyperion. Zabbix is a simple solution that has many of the core features you would want from a system/application monitoring application. I recommend it as a tool to evaluate when considering system monitors.
The monitoring of routers and switches is simple, fast, and through secure protocols.
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix is a monitoring software for multiple network parameters, server operability, and server status. Zabbix uses a flexible notification scheme that allows users to set up email alerts for almost any event. This feature allows for quick reactions to server issues. Zabbix offers brilliant visualization and information capabilities based on the collected data. This is why Zabbix can be considered an ideal tool for scaling and modeling.
What do you dislike about the product?
We like that Zabbix functions as an extractor and hunter. All statistics, tool settings, and reports in Zabbix are available through the web interface. The web interface establishes the necessary network status for you to be able to assess the working servers from anywhere. It is noted that a well-tuned Zabbix plays an essential role in monitoring the IT infrastructure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fortunately, this platform has not caused a lot of problems for our team. However, there are some things that they are not entirely satisfied with. On one hand, the customization options for the user provide a series of obvious advantages. But on the other hand, if you don't have the opportunity to dedicate time to managing the program, it is no longer an advantage. The program cannot display data related to text types.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Properly configuring disk space helps avoid sudden resizing or data migrations due to the large amount of data and files created by Zabbix.
Highest quality but the setup is repetitive, boring, and often poorly documented, necessary!
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix offers incredibly flexible monitoring and reporting on a huge number of metrics. While it is not the most intuitive option, the ability to control the environment from many different perspectives outweighs the time spent setting it up.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not at all intuitive to set up, as I have already mentioned, this is enormously offset by the product's flexibility. The configuration of this product should not be taken lightly, as it requires time and demands systems and network experience.
Furthermore, many settings need to be cloned or turned off and on again to make the changes effective, despite pressing the Apply button, all in a completely random and non-repetitive manner.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product offers enormous flexibility for monitoring services and machines on our network and even regarding inventory management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend a few extra minutes learning/studying Bash or Python scripting languages, they are extremely useful as external scripts and alert scripts to use in Zabbix to achieve functionalities such as alerting via Telegram or WhatsApp.
