Overall Satisfaction with Zabbix

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.
  • Requires small amount of resources.
  • Its open source - free.
  • Saves as the need to hire people on remote sites.
I think every organization, especially the IT department, needs a tool like this. I know of another product like Zabbix that gives a similar or the same solution, but its range makes it very useful. You can see almost all the device info in one place: disk usage, disk space, network usage, etc.

Do you think Zabbix delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Zabbix's feature set?

Yes

Did Zabbix live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Zabbix go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Zabbix again?

Yes

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.
