Unlike SL1 and IBM NOI, you do not need to buy licenses or pay for support. You can begin deployment immediately. You don't need to purchase expensive equipment or study confusing manufacturer's manuals. Zabbix can also be used freely, but it is not so common and you may need paid support from the manufacturer. Sometimes software manufacturers fail to correct errors in their programs in a timely manner, and you are limited in the ability to adapt them to your own needs
