Product Details

What is Zabbix?

Zabbix is an open-source network performance monitoring software. The core program is free, with paid support from the vendor. It provides out-of-the-box templates from Zabbix and community developers. Zabbix includes network health measurements, including memory utilization, packet loss rate, and predictive trends in bandwidth usage and downtimes. These measurements can be adjusted using custom thresholds for network health and security issue alerts.


Zabbix also offers automation capabilities, including automatic network detection, configuration management, and report generation. It also enables remote and scripted remediation efforts when an issue is detected. The open-source format of the software is designed to support customization by users and the community.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We work for a non-profit organization with around 1500 devices spread over several locations. Zabbix is monitoring a lot of these devices. It can check for hardware, ping, status, and other things. Zabbix also sends notifications via emails, sms, Telegram, and more. It can also run scripts. It gives us eyes when we don't have our people.
Pros
  • Notification
  • Visibility
  • Availability
  • Flexibility
Cons
  • Adding new kind of hardware.
  • First installation.
  • Takes time to master it.
Likelihood to Recommend
Because we spread out in different locations, we can't always know the status of our devices. Zabbix solves this issue for us. As soon as we see an alert that the remote site is down, we can solve it right away. I can't think of a scenario where it was less appropriate for us.

A powerful, customizable and flexible monitoring tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Zabbix to monitor our infrastructure, network, services and applications.
Pros
  • Flexible, can be customized to fit pretty much any use case
  • Multi-tenancy support, allows different teams and customers to be granted controlled access to host groups, dashboards and UI sections
  • Automatic discovery of hosts and host items
  • Highly customizable dashboards, maps, graphs and out of box templates
  • Powerful alerting
  • Availability of a well formatted official documentation that has the basic stuff
  • Powerful API for integration with other systems
  • Friendly user community, very important for FOSS
  • Clear and open roadmap
Cons
  • The official documentation isn't too friendly for first timers
  • Requires considerable knowledge of Operating Systems, Database and PHP tuning.
Likelihood to Recommend
Since it is highly customizable and flexible, Zabbix can fit most use cases.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As an open-source monitoring solution, Zabbix is our preferred choice. Our company has been using it since 2017 to monitor all infrastructure. The overview we get from it is fabulous. It's immediate and it provides very clear information on many levels depending on what you want to see based on user roles and permissions. You can configure absolutely everything you can image with it.
Pros
  • Zabbix does monitor any kind of IT solution for us like servers, networks, services, virtual machines, databases or websites.
  • The new interface on Zabbix is really great.
Cons
  • Out of box reports could be updated.
  • If it's open source it doesn't mean it's free.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's perfect for large scale infrastructure as it has a lot of features included.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Zabbix is a simple to setup and easy to manage solution. Very little in-depth tech skills needed to deploy initially due to pre-made ISOs and virtual machines, and with the help of a raft of templates available for free online to make it an essential monitoring tool for any business. Support is available if you want it - although from my perspective it looked to be costly if you simply want light email only assistance on your setup.
Pros
  • Keeping an eye on our asset estate via SNMP is easy
  • Single Pane view
  • Wealth of plugins available to then customise for alerting
Cons
  • User interface is a little cumbersome, but it looks like newer versions are looking to resolve the menu system issues i found
  • If you really delve in, you should be ready for some coding and tweaking
Likelihood to Recommend
This is our core monitoring platform, used to monitor all servers and perimeters for any issues in the network. We utilize it to alert the team on any low disks, failed devices or loss of ping to certain aspects of the network. It also monitors flow and other metrics via SNMP with a single pane view for easy management.

Zabbix is Overall a good tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It's used across the whole organization. It's used to monitor the server parameters, application URLs, logs etc.
Pros
  • Server monitoring
  • URL availability
  • We write custom application monitoring scripts and send the data to Zabbix.
Cons
  • Ability to authenticate to a webpage and monitor, just like keynote.
  • The web scenarios doesn't work well with REST end points. No feature to read the response header.
Likelihood to Recommend
Zabbix is a good monitoring tool for servers and availability, but it needs to be used with other tools to achieve the required monitoring. There are some lacking features like browser synthetic monitoring, application performance monitoring etc..but overall it's good.
