Zabbix Erfahrungen

Monitoring mit Zabbix

Vorteile:

Flexible Software, die man einfach an seine Bedürfnisse anpassen kann.

Nachteile:

Vorhandene Dokumentation könnte besser sein.

Tracking of metrics

Kommentare: The product gives freedom for customization, and integration which is a good part. The learning process is not at all difficult as it is full works with graphs. There can be improved by introducing AI to track the things more.

Vorteile:

1. It gives in-depth informational logs to monitor every asset in real-time. 2. The dashboard and graphs are just superb to monitor every traffic ports. 3. Easy integeration and very much budget friendly as well for small organziations.

Nachteile:

1. Little issues while generating alerts. The timeline of alert and captured data shows difference many times. It won't IOS device which is also a crucial for our work.

The best monitoring tool I've used

Kommentare: Zabbix server can be one of the best tools in your IT arsenal, but it does come with quite a steep learning curve. It's an open-source tool, so it does take a lot more time and patience to configure and setup the way you want it to be, but there are a lot of great documentation sites out there including Zabbix's own. Not to mention they have some paid for training courses with certifications, which is awesome. If you spend the time to properly read up on Zabbix and get it setup the way you need it to, I promise you won't regret not paying for an off the shelf SaaS solution.

Vorteile:

It's open-source! What isn't to love about a high quality, highly configurable, high functioning IT management tool that is 100% free. Besides the fact that it's open-source and free, the Zabbix platform is incredibly configurable, meaning it's not one shoe fits all. It can be 100% customised to work for your specific needs in your unique business/IT setup.

Nachteile:

The only thing I would really like, is an officially supported Zabbix mobile app. Although some awesome developer out there has done one themselves, which I've used in the past, one that was properly supported and integrated securely with Zabbix itself would be amazing as someone in IT on the go.

Powerful tool

Kommentare: A good product that is great in teh right organsation

Vorteile:

Zabbix is a very powerful tool in the right hands

Nachteile:

It's a steep learning curve to both install and configure Zabbix especially when you need to do custom sensors

Arguably the best open source monitoring tool on the market today

Kommentare: Fantastic tool that is setup to monitor and alert on all our hosts and APIs.

Vorteile:

Beats many/most SaaS monitoring tools with zero cost as an open source platform. Has a native agent for many OSs that can be deployed easily. We use Zabbix to monitor our systems in a data center and cloud all with a single dashboard. Can be extended to use Web Scenarios which will performance monitor systems/connectivity, too. Probably the best open source tool for monitoring on the market.

Nachteile:

You need to host it yourself and setup does take some time to get all systems monitoring and dashboards created. (The tool does have a find feature so it will auto import most systems on your network or VPC so that gives a good starting place).

Zabbix review

Vorteile:

The single best thing about zabbix is that it's completely free but without lacking anything compared to commercial monitoring tools. It covers pretty much everything from windows servers, esxi servers, HTTP endpoints till our UPS. It produces meaningful graphs and has triggers for each alert. Also it integrates with a lot of tools like Pagerduty to receive alerts. Overall its a complete enterprize level monitoring solution for the infrastructure

Nachteile:

I would say zabbix has 2 downsides. The first is that you need to configure everything and it can be intimidating if you are not experienced user and the second is the web scenarios for http endpoint monitoring isnt neither great nor straightforward.

Monitoring services

Kommentare: Zabbix is a perfect place for monitoring solutions. It gives ease to monitor and see the availability of important servers and devices. Deployment and management is absolutely a simple job. All we need to work on graphs to see and analyze the data which is also not a big deal.

Vorteile:

1. An open-source platform that is worth considering for monitoring device availability. 2. Large number of support communities. 3. Simple and easy setup to start and understand. A single plane navigation for a number of devices together with a good performance.

Nachteile:

1. Not very much automated which is a necessity now, manual script and work required. 2. There are issues with data collection timing and accuracy, occasionally causing delays between the displayed information and actual events.

Monitoring of server machine

Kommentare: Very flexible and highly customizable product for monitoring and analyzing logs.
We can easily configure alerts on emails as well. Simplifies installation and setup.
Although the product experience is good enough.

Vorteile:

1. Perfectly designed and user-friendly interface. 2. We can easily integrate this with other products to perform cloud monitor. 3. Visual representation of data in the form of graphs is one of the best factor using this product.

Nachteile:

1. Need more manual work to do after changing small information as there is no auto-populating of changes like config file change, or hostname change. 2. UI is a little outdated and slow as well.

Eye for environment

Kommentare: Using Zabbix is quite easy and effective to monitor the environment with proper graphical records and the cost is also good to consider. The support community is big and knowledgable.

Vorteile:

1. Documentation and community is wide and extremely helpful. 2. Extremely easy deployment and usage. 3. Dashboard is power of this platform and proper graphical orientation.

Nachteile:

1. Slow working and alerting. 2. Integration is sometime difficult as manual scripts are needed.

Great and Easy Monitoring

Vorteile:

Super easyy but very customisable dashboards, wich can be shared very easily amongst Teammembers

Nachteile:

Probably the Learning-Curve with setting up Dashboards. I am missing some Tutorials, but thats stuff Third Partys uploaded to Youtube

Great product, contends with many of the paid alternatives - my go to for monitoring

Kommentare: Great, it's easy to deploy, and very intuitive. A great community to help as well and you're able to meet all your business needs for monitoring and dashboarding in one centralised product.

Vorteile:

The most effective monitoring solution you can get for free - Great integrations and dashboarding, with some very advanced features such as dynamic dashboards and alerting.

Nachteile:

Maintaining Zabbix in and of itself is more challenging, as a self hosted service, it is on the administrator to find modules or templates and these do not always work.

The Zabbix impact in the public value return for the citizens services

Vorteile:

The management of public services is a daily challenge. Thus, the real time monitoring of our application servers affects directly the citizen experience with public services.

Nachteile:

Zabbix supplies our monitoring purposes and are a core component of our public services management. We believe that UI/UX can improve in terms of reducing the needs of adding third parties tools

Easy to userstand the features

Vorteile:

I can easily integrate all types of operating systems into Zabbix and track things like server load, CPU utilization, ssh alerts, and much more.

Nachteile:

Although I like all the features but Zabbix 5.0 is more stable than others.

Monitoring tool for the Infraestructure World

Kommentare: It's the main app for get and store info about our infra. Several months are stored and we can get nice graphs.

Vorteile:

Zabbix is a great tool for make monitoring on your infraestructure. You can get alerts based on hour, diferent metrics, a sum of problems like @high cpu usage on four servers" at the same time. This help us to get stats and make changes.

Nachteile:

It's hard to understand the main concepts. There is no work on news systems like Kubernetes and autoscalation.

Zabbix automation for all kind of IT soutions.

Kommentare: Zabbix is a great tool for automation monitoring. The easy administration help in managing the permission and roles for users. The customized audit log view can be modified as per the roles and permission to maintain the privacy of data. Trigger display can be customized. The availability report have the new time filter that can be used to select a time frame to view the particular data.

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.

Best and outstanding open-source Network Monitoring tool

Kommentare: Overall, I love this software. I recommend this software to all users

Vorteile:

I love the aspect of scalability in Zabbix. Zabbix is highly scalable and monitor thousands of servers, devices, and applications from a single instance making its performance outstanding

Nachteile:

I haven't encountered any drawbacks using this software

Zabbix - The Enterprise Level real time monitoring.

Kommentare: Zabbix is helping in to monitor the Application and Network. The best thing I like in it is the flexible dashboard which can be configure according to the need of the administrator.

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.

Zabbix makes your monitoring more efficient

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.

Serious power for technical users

Kommentare: Zabbix is one component of my managed services platform. It handles multi-tenancy well. It has been 100% reliable at watching my clients' machines and alerting me to problems that require action. Zabbix can be fine tuned so that you are notified of just the problems that require your attention, without a lot of noise. I use the notification options to control how, where and at what times I am alerted, based on severity.

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.

Inexpensive and complete monitor solution

Kommentare: Pro-active customer support

Vorteile:

Big range of monitoring options, like active and passive agents and proxies, SNMP and IPMI monitoring, provides me the tools to do a pro-active support to my customers

Nachteile:

sometimes a bit overwhelming due to the quantity of options

Best tool ever

Vorteile:

Multiple integrations are there. Easy to use.

Nachteile:

automatic topology is not present in the tool.

Zabbix the most Delectable, profound and Omnious website monitoring Tool.

Kommentare: The tool prevents my servers storage from running out of space and it is flexible as it keeps on evolving and adding new features to meet all our needs.

Vorteile:

It makes it simple to monitor and track network performance. It instantly sends alerts incase there is a problem with our servers. It can be gotten for free.

Nachteile:

The tool meets all my need for me to find a dislike.

Awesome Monitoring

Kommentare: I use it to monitor all my servers and networks. Works best on Linux.

Vorteile:

You can monitor and graph anything. It is so flexible. Link it to Grafana for even prettier graphs.

Nachteile:

I wish there was a Windows version of Zabbix Proxy.

Steep learnig curve

Vorteile:

The software is feature rich and very stable. It's an amazing solution

Nachteile:

It's a bit hard for those who are new to Zabbix.

That single notification system you need in case everything starts burning

Vorteile:

Once you get used to it being open on another monitor or in the background, that becomes part of your office life. If you suspect something's going wrong - a quick look at the dashboard will already give you an idea or where to dig.

Nachteile:

Configuration wise it seems all locked to the skilled admins that know how to deal with it, putting it out of reach of regular users. Seems to be lacking customization for the dashboard style.
