- Recommendations
Users of Zabbix have made several recommendations based on their experiences with the open-source monitoring tool.
Many reviewers suggest setting up a separate virtual server for Zabbix to facilitate an easy installation and configuration process. This approach allows for better manageability and flexibility in integrating Zabbix into existing infrastructure.
Zabbix is highly recommended for its ability to provide customizable alerts and monitoring capabilities. Users appreciate the flexibility to tailor notifications according to their specific requirements, allowing them to stay informed about critical events and issues.
Several users recommend Zabbix specifically for network performance monitoring. They find it suitable for large-scale environments, making it an ideal choice for big companies that need to monitor metrics across tens of thousands of devices.
While many users find Zabbix to be a valuable monitoring tool, some have also noted a few considerations. It has been mentioned by some reviewers that Zabbix may not be very intuitive and can be challenging to set up initially. To overcome this hurdle, users advise seeking support from the Zabbix IRC channel or having a Linux administrator assist with the server setup.

Zabbix is the best open source-based NOC platform you can find
- The positive impact is that, In general, these kinds of platforms tend to be very expensive if you go on the market for commercial versions. Considering this is an open-source platform, you can save a lot of money on licenses and consulting and use that money to empower your own team to build your customized NOC solution.
- As a company that operates 24x6, it's very important that we keep all the systems running. Although we have several ways to improve availability with clusters, cloud,etc., monitoring and alerting is still one of the most efficient ways to keep the business running.

Best FOSS software for monitoring
- Zabbix allowed us to see where issues were with a new implementation of software that was having issues at one site but not the other. With the synthetic monitoring piece in play, we were able to isolate and quantify the issue and see who and what was actually having an issue (as compared to the typical user response of "slow").
- It has taken over 9 man-months to fully implement across a 1600 server global environment. Some of that issue was due to the poor design of the environment (mostly due to M&A processes that were never fully integrated), but part of it was due to no easy way to distribute the agents. Now, with the very recent release of 4.2, there is an MSI to allow for GPO deployments to windows machines, which would help tremendously for Windows-based environments. (Linux and Mac environments will still require extensive scripting or manual installations).
- Zabbix alerting allowed us to start alerting L2 application and server teams to be aware of disk space issues and resolve them before an outage occurs.

Zabbix Power Users
- Zabbix has had a positive impact on uptime of our external facing website. Users don't always call up our Customer Service team to report that something is down - sometimes they just abandon the website all together. By having a monitoring solution that tells us when things are down before customers do, we are able to respond quickly and avoid losing visitors and ultimately sales.

Big fans of Large-Scale Zabbix for a decade
- Zabbix has been great for us and our core operations system for a decade.

The Customizability of Zabbix is Awesome
- Zabbix simply makes it easier to identify, and subsequently resolve problems quickly
- Zabbix gives one web page to look at to see a list of all on-going issue in a single place
- Zabbix can automate response to alerts. For example, Zabbix allows you the customization to take a monitored server out of production rotation if it is identified as unhealthy

Great monitoring platform
- Ability to pre-empt issues and stop business-critical outages has been amazing and well needed
- Ease of reviewing trends to help budget on space and network usage
- Very helpful to identify any possible network slow-downs
- Sound monitoring solution for very little cost out-of-the box
- New trends and predictions functions allows us to maintain AWS MSP Standing without the purchase of SaaS monitoring solutions
- Template and Autoregistration speeds deployment vs tools like Nagios

Zabbix - The Monitoring Swiss Army Knife
- Zabbix has become my go-to solution for information gathering on our hardware. It's very easy to create reports and graphs outlining any specific metric I'm asked to provide.
- Zabbix's alerting and script firing has made monitoring utilization on our network a breeze, while their alerting system allows me to fire off a different level of alert by the specific consecutive objects in an alert status. With time, I've been able to eliminate most end device alerts while just shooting off an alert for the problem at the root of an issue.
- Zabbix is easy enough to use at the user level to be handed to non-tech savvy people with minimal training.

Zabbix - A must have tool in your infrastructure
- By integrating Zabbix with Rundeck, we have been able to auto-resolve issues in our infrastructure which means lesser on-call alerts.
- Zabbix and PagerDuty let us response to business critical issues instantly.
- Zabbix dashboards and screens let us get an insight into the status of our infrastructure visually.

Zabbix just works
- Before, customers might have to call in if there was an issue. With Zabbix, we had the ability to act before customers noticed in most cases
- Once we had everything set up, we cut down on 40% of calls/tickets

Zabbix 2.4 in a fairly large environment
- A 5 year "Linux team only" implementation leveraged automatic recovery scripts to eliminate a huge number of off hour wake-up tickets. Many problems were detected and automatically remediated before the old monitoring system ever detected the problem.
- The ability to monitor almost anything you can imagine and script.
- Quick one-off items and triggers can be deployed in a crisis.
- Leveraging Puppet and The Foreman for server build and Zabbix for monitoring made it possible for system administrators to go from supporting about 40 servers each to 120 or more.
- Zabbix has helped our NOC team become the center for service configuration management. The mantra has become "if it is not monitored, it does not exist."
- Zabbix has helped train our NOC team to be responsive, and understand the threat levels of varying alerts.
- Zabbix is robust. Often times you might turn on the Zabbix agent and immediately get alerted to high disk usage when certain processes are running, or a low % of disk volume is available. Having this feedback in real time is crucial for maintaining dozens of servers per sysAdmin.

Zabbix gives you flexibility, but there's a cost associated with it.
- Decreased response time for incidents which in-turn increased service availability.
- Ability to create/execute scripts to allow for self healing of simple problems.
- Graphs gave us the ability to see trending to better forecast our needs for budgeting and purchasing.
