Overall Satisfaction with Zabbix

We use Zabbix as a monitoring tool for our entire infrastructure. We monitor network appliances, servers, firewalls, Internet lines, and bandwidth. We also use it to draw maps of the network connect interfaces and monitor these endpoints in case of a failed link or hardware failure. Before Zabbix, we were wasting a lot of time logging into each device and checking the network status, but after Zabbix, we now have one dashboard to monitor all traffic and appliances.

Pros

  • Inventory of network appliances.
  • Monitoring traffic and bandwidth usage.
  • Drawing network maps and connecting interfaces.

Cons

  • Monitoring hardware status needs to be improved to avoid problems before they happen.
  • It needs to be powered by AI to expect problems before it happens.
  • UI could use a lot of improvements for reading alerts and drawing maps.
  • Saving cost and money waste when using avoiding system interruption because of the alert system.
  • Saving system engineer time of spending hours logging to server and Zabbix is presenting all hardware's in main dashboard.
  • We saved the cost of 3 Helpdesk staff and added Zabbix to monitor and send alerts thru emails to the engineers 24/7.
Because of the deep value that Zabbix is providing, any System or Network engineer will value Zabbix features to facilitate and speed up and reduce the load of work. Zabbix is used in a large enterprise network and its providing details and alerts that help us keep the network up and running without interruption of failure.
The software's I mentioned are great, but they are overpriced comparing to Zabbix while it's a free open-source application. The value its adding has high price than any other free open-source apps. the monitoring and alerts details and the friendly user interface is stacking up against any other apps in the web.

Zabbix is great for monitoring your servers and seeing alerts when the system uses too much CPU or memory. This allowed the system Engineer to be proactive and add resources to these systems to avoid interrupting the services. Especially servers running operations applications and services. This is one of the best usages for Zabbix.
