We use Zenoss for monitoring our server infrastructure, with specific configurations of monitoring and alerts for our team. There are a number of times where the company's "standard" monitoring solution isn't configurable to the level we would like, and so we implemented our own solution using Zenoss for our specific set of requirements.
  • Monitoring of infrastructure.
  • Easily configurable.
  • Expandable to reach all of our various network segments.
  • Compact, with small resource footprint.
  • Improved visualizations of monitoring data.
  • Better integration with other platforms for observability and visualization outside of Zenoss.
  • Better application performance monitoring.
Overall I would say that we have been very happy with Zenoss. It has been a great server monitoring tool. There are certain aspects that we would like to expand into, such as Capacity Planning, Network Performance Monitoring, and log analysis. We have coupled Zenoss logs with Splunk for external log management, but would like to start using some of the built-in analysis tools.
  • Ease of deployment
  • Expandability
  • Integration with other tools
  • Our ROI was excellent, but the company has also implemented other tools that compete with Zenoss.
  • Zenoss has a long history of excellence in monitoring and alerting
  • Overall observability is easier to manage due to our comfort with the tool set
We selected Zenoss because we had been using it for years before these other solutions were considered nearly robust enough to potentially be a viable alternative to Zenoss. Our familiarity with the interface and the tool set made it an easy choice for us to continue to upgrade and use the product.

Zenoss is a Unified monitoring solution along with Event Management tool Used in multiple customer we support.
This address our proactive monitoring and end to end event automation use cases like generating events for CI's and converting then in to meaningful alerts, enrich them for actionable tickets create in ITSM system.
  • Monitoring Windows, Unix/Linux, Infra apps, storage, virtualization, converge infra etc..
  • Integrate with other monitoring tools and receive events for aggregation and correlation
  • Integration with ITSM( SNOW) for auto ticket creation
  • More event correlation uses cases for events received from other monitoring tools
Zenoss is one of the most economical low cost monitoring/AIOPS tools available in the market.
This goes excellent when complete infra is monitoring by itself however if its receiving the events from other monitoring tool then the Event management uses cases will be limited.

  • Unified monitoring for all the datacenter and cloud technologies
  • Event Management functionality
  • Zcloud Smart views
  • Zenoss is one of the strategic monitoring tool for our org
  • Since its most economical it is easy to push it to our customers
Zenoss not just monitor the Hybrid Cloud, it also perform the Event Management and that gives edge on others

With Zenoss services dynamics we are able to monitor physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures from a single platform. Also the ability of it to hierarchically categorize alerts and show the highest level which is most likely where Zenoss is very helpful and advanced. we have been using real-time monitoring of our hybrid IT environment.
  • The flexibility to monitor almost anything.
  • The graphical interface available for servers and database planning helps to make it easier.
  • Easy to integrate other solutions under zenoss.
  • Hard to troubleshot and fix the issue.
  • More development for monitoring storage systems.
  • Load balancing on Zenoss instance.
Out of box classes which is I like the most. You don't need to discover the devices for any individual parameters. Utilizing different modelers and data sources, we've been able to adapt to our client on a large scale. Real-time event based system and support for customer devices. System uptime and reliability monitoring and prediction are problems we are trying to solve.
  • Network communication in the organization is allowed.
  • Auto discovery of devices.
  • Easy to integrate with other solutions.
  • Real-time monitoring in Hybrid environment.
  • Native extensible using standard software development languages.
  • user friendly interface.

Reseller
I work for a reseller/systems integrator that provides Zenoss to Enterprise clients. We're a multi-platform integrator with a strong focus on private/hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructure. Zenoss is a perfect fit for infrastructure monitoring across heterogeneous platforms and the full range of IT infrastructure -- providing that elusive "single pane of glass" for many Op-Center users.
  • Multi-platform support across a wide range of hardware and software infrastructure. Truly a vendor-agnostic platform.
  • Vendor-specific feature/configuration support, via ZenPacks, providing much better end-to-end visibility as compared to most legacy monitoring platforms -- especially for devices such as firewalls, middleware gateways, and load balancers.
  • Modern, cloud-native software architecture, as compared to legacy monitoring platforms. As a result, Zenoss Cloud should prove to be more scalable and easier to upgrade than legacy platforms such as SolarWinds, IBM, BMC, etc.
  • Support for streaming data is on the roadmap must currently be addressed via a third-party app.
  • For some customers, a hybrid on-prem/cloud model may be a better fit than a pure cloud model. The onsite collectors offer some, but not all, of this functionality.
  • Tighter integration with third-party (AppDynamics, etc) and/or built-in app performance tools.
Perfect for multi-vendor infrastructure monitoring. Excellent end-to-end troubleshooting, due to real-time dependency mapping.
The new Cloud platform is perfect for widely distributed companies, and those looking to minimize administration requirements for the monitoring platform. The prem-based Zenoss platform would be a better fit for organizations not willing to use a cloud-based monitoring application. Zenoss isn't currently a true app performance monitoring platform, so it would need to be used in conjunction with something like AppDynamics.
  • We're a reseller/Integrator, so this question has a somewhat different meaning to our business. For us, Zenoss Cloud allows us to provide a single Cloud-based monitoring platform that can address virtually all our clients' use cases, dramatically simplifying our training and staffing requirements. Instead of training Engineers on several platforms, including the installation of physical hardware/software, we can focus on a single platform.
  • The faster time-to-deployment and always-on cloud platform is a great fit for DevOps environments and newer software-defined data center platforms. The ability of Zenoss to support these environments solves what has been a major blind spot, slowing adoption of platforms that have been difficult to effectively manage with legacy monitoring platforms.
  • For clients, the ability to consolidate from multiple prem-based tools to a single cloud-based platform is huge. Eliminating multiple licenses and ongoing hardware & administration costs can show a 1-2 year ROI.
