Zabbix – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

Zabbix is the one-stop software tool for monitoring the complete infrastructure. The end-to-end security and distributed monitoring help to track and audit the remote data centers. Zabbix proxies server help in isolating the network and speeding up the response from node. Best thing I like in Zabbix is that the agents never get out of dated as New Zabbix version always supports its previous agent version. Zabbix 4.X also support the IPv4 or IPv6 or mix internet protocol for addressing.

Nachteile

The problem detection and metric collection display should be configurable for each user view. The configuration for event correlation need to trigger points and it should come with the test feature button to check the functionality.

Vorteile

The new Zabbix 4.0 has significantly enhanced the dashboard and other graphical widget. The newly design time module selection also allows the word syntax for faster access to the metrics. Zabbix provides the mutiple modes like Kiosk mode & compact mode view to present the data in more efficient way. Zabbix 4.0 come with the new tag based permission which gives the flexibility to manage the access to user group. Zabbix community is increasing rapidly as it provides the complete open source enterprise level monitoring.

Nachteile

The only lack I find about Zabbix was documentation and lack of other online content, but after implementing it I find the official documentation is fair enough to implement as the pre-configure template are easy to deploy.

Vorteile

I like the flexibility and ease-of-use of Zabbix, an open-source monitoring and alerting system. It's highly customizable, enabling organizations to adapt their monitoring and alerting systems to their unique requirements. Additionally, it's simple to set up and use, even for non-technical users, making it easy for them to manage their monitoring systems.

Nachteile

I have no negative feedback to give about this tool, as it satisfies all our requirements.

Vorteile

I implemented the appliance with Ubuntu and if you follow the manual the installation is simple.

A variety of monitoring resources can be added and triggers can be customized according to your needs.

The dashboard gives you a very wide view of all the computer resources and gives you the possibility to prioritize in a more efficient way.

You can create your own maps, review detailed graphs of resources, create macros and view the online information of all devices.

In general, it is a very useful tool.

Nachteile

It takes patience and time to adjust the triggers so that it only shows you the problems that really exist in the infrastructure but once you adapt it to your needs becomes an ally to be aware of the resources and be able to react in time.

When a problem arises with the tool, there aren't many forums and it requires you to invest time in finding the solution.

In almost a year and a half that I have using the tool I have only had the monitoring stopped for a few hours because the service stopped, I found the cause looking in the forums and I could solve the problem.

Vorteile

Zabbix provide the enterprise level monitor. Network monitoring is every effective as it let us know the each packet loss rate and interface error rate with this it's each to check the network health and also monitor any changes in network like hardware removed or connected. Server Monitoring have feature to monitor the host and help in administration. It also provide the number of templates to monitor the all poplar Operating System. A large Zabbix community is also a plus point of it. Application monitoring is the best of zabbix as it have number of in-build template to monitor the Applications.

Nachteile

Most complex part of in it is implementation and configuration for dashboard. Learning curves are sharp as it have limited engineer that work on it. The master node can be setup only on Linux OS.

Vorteile

the way how we can customize the software according to the company needs if you feel confident, this platform has the option to create your templates such as macros, discovery rules, triggers, etc, in my point of view this software is pretty useful to monitor networks, workstation servers, etc. if something got wrong we can get the alert in real-time.

Nachteile

in my personal experience, we support a university that has around 180 access points, unfortunately, it was pretty hard to find a tutorial related to the IPsec tunnel and Zabbix connection.

Vorteile

The software has a very active community. Next to this the options with Zabbix are enormous, you can monitor server and networkcomponents.

Nachteile

More integrated views and graphs. We are using additional tooling like Graphana, to get additional insights.

Vorteile

Zabbix is one of the most popular application for server monitoring. The most strong and interesting part of this application is the monitoring dashboard in which you can see the problem and when it resolves it will update. This makes your monitoring more easy and convenient.

Nachteile

Overall this is very good application but the least part is when problem get solve it will update the status after 10 to 15 minutes.

Vorteile

installing and implementing zabbix is very easy, with a minimum of knowledge you can do it. We use zabbix to monitor cellular networks and servers, so far it has been very stable.

Nachteile

Its free version has very few users, this limited us considerably when making the configuration for the amount of equipment we want to use in test environment. In Venezuela it was very difficult to hire a representative for support.

Vorteile

With Zabbix, you can monitor and automate just about anything. Highly, HIGHLY configurable and scalable. It can monitor processes within a machine, connectivity between machines, performance, availability, SLA compliance, and so on using TCP/IP, SNMP, IPMI, JMX. It's actively developed Free software with a large community, so you can expect frequent updates and new features. The server is Linux based but there are monitoring agents for all the major OSes.

Nachteile

Zabbix takes some time to learn the framework. There are several parts to construct just one monitor-trigger-action item. Pre-built templates make it easier to begin and provide some examples to study, but this is not a plug-n-play application. More like a box of Legos. Not that I like this aspect least, but mention it as fair warning for those prospecting for a monitoring solution.

Vorteile

Zabbix tiene la versatilidad de monitorear multiples dispositivos de maneras diferentes. Incluso se puede configurar no solo que mande mails, sino tambien alertas via telegram, que es algo que usamos mucho hoy dia.

Nachteile

Sólo he tenido problemas cuando saturé la base de datos con información que traia y ralentizaba el funcionamiento general, pero eso es un problema que se presenta por estructura mas que por una falla de la herramienta.

Vorteile

Easy to install agent which can be installed on 100's of client servers. The zabbix agent has low memory usage, so it can be installed on low spec web servers. The ability to create custom metrics and setup different triggers and notifications is great.

Nachteile

Ease of use isn't great and it takes a long period of adoption to get your head around how items, triggers and notifications work. The error messages you receive aren't particularly user friendly and are more suited to developers rather than operations teams. Housekeeping doesn't stop us ending up with huge database tables in Zabbix.

Vorteile

Monitoring, sending alerts by email, integration with other tools, solid community

Nachteile

Zabbix could improve the UI but it's a very good tool

Vorteile

It's a reliable tool for analyzing and monitoring our organization network performance.It's simple to identify and mitigate network performance issues with Zabbix.It's simple to receive instant notifications and alerts when issues network performance issues arises.

Nachteile

I haven't experienced any downside with Zabbix as it suits best all my needs.

Vorteile

Very powerfull once configured
Lovely php based gui
Almost infinate amounts of host templates to import
User based views, also via LDAP
Alerts
Network maps
Graphs (for the managers)

Nachteile

Tricky to perform initial installation
Some templates may require 3rd party plugins from github

Vorteile

If you want to monitor your network with a free available product then this one is easy one to go with.

You can monitor your firewall, switches, load balancers, UCS servers, VMware servers and other snmp based devices using there respective templates.

Nachteile

If you don't know Linux, you will face a hard time while installation, but there are many youtube videos which will assist step by step installation.

Vorteile

I like the small footprint and robust monitoring. It is nice to have a vanguard monitoring the system 24/7.

Nachteile

Some of the thresholds can be tricky to set up. I have been monitored that something is out of space and then a minute later get notified that it is ok. Not even long enough to truly check. Could be how we have it setup mind you.

Vorteile

In addition to offering me the guarantee that the network works perfectly at all times, Zabbix can also count on its ability to track, control and monitor the transfer of data, as well as prevent and solve problems in the bandwidth. Another aspect that I like This system is that I can store data in Json format, which is very important for other applications to use.
