Zabbix can be a life-saver in infrastructure monitoring!
What do you like best about the product?
This open-source and flexible program has been used by several of our teams for the past 6+ years. We have enjoyed how we've been able to adapt it to meet the monitoring needs in several areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve that happens with any new software, and Zabbix is no exception. The menus and navigation could certainly be improved to make it more intuitive to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The real-time monitoring and lightweight nature of the tools make it a staple for several teams!
Good Monitoring Tool for Application Behavior
What do you like best about the product?
The way graphs get populated in real time is awesome
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes time for the graphs to get populated when the backend is re-registered/restarted
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zabbix review
What do you like best about the product?
Good monitoring tool when you compare it with other traditional available in the market. Has paid support available if you need it. Its compatibility with all all platforms. Well integrated within the OS and has lot of features for pretty much all apps, tools and services.
What do you dislike about the product?
I havent tested its compatibility with all public cloud platforms but if they have a solution for it then that will be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Public cloud monitoring with all cloud providers.
Zabbix
What do you like best about the product?
easy to log into, beside that, don't use it too much
What do you dislike about the product?
not as user friendly as I like, would like better usability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hardware monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
just try it
Powerful monitoring tool with many plugins and addons available
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Zabbix is extendable. Specifically that you can write custom applications for it's database, including responding to events within the application itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the community is strong, I felt like some elements of the Zabbix interface did require somewhat of a steep learning curve. Once you get past that, however, it's a fantastic tool to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance monitoring and alerting. Previously we had to maintain multiple systems (Cacti/Nagios, etc), but Zabbix support many of the same features out of the box and has the ability to install agents on Solaris (a big win for us) that made adding hosts very trivial.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The fact that the group behind Zabbix offers a virtual machine to get you started on makes it a snap to get started with. Even if you need to resize based on your needs, having the basic starter in the virtual machine was super helpful.
Zabbix Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup, basic monitoring tool for clients servers. Customizable to any degree you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Zabbix will go down and not create tickets. It takes some trouble l shooting then we get flooded tickets from months ago.
Repeating tickets.
Repeating tickets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We provide server monitoring for clients to monitor SQL, backups, raid, server state.
Helps us ensure our clients are up and running and we can get a jump on issues that we may see arising from the alerts.

Good monitoring tool for production servers
What do you like best about the product?
One stop solution for complete ecosystem systems. Easy to configure and easy to maintain
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really at this point - I feel everything is good as per business needs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy production fallout prediction
Great open-source solution and nagios replacement
What do you like best about the product?
I find it very easy to use and the snmpd polling features flawless. We utilize this to monitor our production sites and have never had problems with false reporting. The GUI is easy to navigate and installing/setup on Linux very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to currently dislike, this product has met all of our network and system monitoring needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We require all systems up with strict SLA. zabbix has allowed us to respond quickly when systems become inaccessible or when network switch ports change to disable. Great tool
zabbix is good for legacy
What do you like best about the product?
zabbix is good for monitoring static servers and systems. it is very simple to configure and very reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
zabbix is not so good for monitoring services as abstract identities, which is what most companies need to do today, if they are using microservices, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
monitoring and visibility.
Comprehensive Monitoring for Everything
What do you like best about the product?
Zabbix isn't limited to monitoring just one or two aspects of an environment. It can monitor all systems and bring in just about anything that outputs a counter or log file to be monitored.
The system can perform trending analysis and determine when a problem is getting ready to happen, not just rely on thresholds.
The system utilizes MySQL which is easy to find literature on how to manage. It is also preparing to support Elasticsearch for a storage back-end which can scale massively.
The use of agents means that there are multiple points of monitoring which distributes the monitoring load. It also means that other products which rely on a centralized "probe" to read counters don't get too bogged down or take out multiple monitoring points when they fault.
Because Zabbix is open source it is easy to run a setup in both your Production and development environments which makes testing much easier.

What do you dislike about the product?
While the use of agents is great, it also means that you have to keep them updated as time passes. This means that there's a management aspect to keeping Zabbix up and running. Also if the agent stops running you lose your counters for that time period.
Because the system is open-source you will rely on yourself or the community to write monitoring packages for the systems or applications that you are keeping an eye on. Because of this if something changes and you're using a package that is abandoned or hasn't been updated in a long time you may find yourself fixing the bugs solo. WHile this means you can keep things up and running it also means that you may need to scrap your monitors at some point and recreate them in order to keep a system monitored.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Systems monitoring with predictive analytics.
Capacity planning.
We now no longer have to pay for our monitoring solution. Where in the past we paid for our monitoring solution and then had to ensure we didn't breach our license, our only concern now is that our Zabbix server can handle the load.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a solid understanding of Linux. Also an understanding of MySQL or PostgreSQL is a must. If setting up HA you will need to know how to configure SQL monitoring and backups.
A full understanding of the environment you are monitoring is key. If you don't know how it works you can't monitor it. This is true of all monitoring products, not just Zabbix.
