It enables administrators to collect data from multiple devices and perform root cause analysis to identify or forecast problems. Zabbix sends custom notifications to personnel about issues and lets them escalate problems as per user-defined service levels. The solution also allows supervisors to grant role-based permissions to team members and protect data through internal database, LDAP and HTTP basic authentication methods. Engineers can periodically scan network, auto-register new equipment and create items, triggers or graphs for different elements on devices. Zabbix offers integration with multiple third-party applications including Appdynamics, cPanel, Drupal, Grafana, Jabber, Barracuda, Squadcast and more. It is available for free and support is provided via phone, documentation and online measures. ## Zabbix User Interface ## Popular Zabbix Alternatives Main Product Zabbix 4.7 [(111)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/network-monitoring/zabbix-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.04Ease of use - 4.78Value for money - 4.22Customer support - 4.55Functionality Pricing Starting at $50.00 per month Alternative Product [ManageEngine OpManager](https://www.softwareadvice.com/it-management/manageengine-opmanager-profile/) 4.6 [(330)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/it-management/manageengine-opmanager-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.58Ease of use - 4.65Value for money - 4.57Customer support - 4.62Functionality Pricing Starting at $95.00 per year Alternative Product [Site24x7](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cloud-management/site24x7-profile/) 4.7 [(381)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/cloud-management/site24x7-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.56Ease of use - 4.50Value for money - 4.49Customer support - 4.63Functionality Pricing Starting at $10.00 per month Alternative Product [N-central](https://www.softwareadvice.com/network-management/solarwinds-n-central-profile/) 4.2 [(253)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/network-management/solarwinds-n-central-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.0Ease of use - 3.93Value for money - 3.92Customer support - 4.20Functionality Pricing Available upon request Alternative Product [Remote Monitoring and Management](https://www.softwareadvice.com/help-desk/atera-profile/) 4.5 [(456)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/help-desk/atera-profile/reviews/) Ratings Breakdown - 4.63Ease of use - 4.57Value for money - 4.52Customer support - 4.33Functionality Pricing Starting at $129.00 per month Alternative Product [OpManager Nexus](https://www.softwareadvice.com/aiops-platforms/manageengine-opmanager-plus-profile/) 4.6 [(45)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/aiops-platforms/manageengine-opmanager-plus-profile/#reviews) Ratings Breakdown - 4.56Ease of use - 4.59Value for money - 4.44Customer support - 4.44Functionality Pricing Starting at $1233.00 per year ## Zabbix Pricing and Plans Starting price: $50.00 per month Free Trial Free Version Zabbix Cloud $50.00 per month Plan includes: - Alerting - Data Visualization - Business Activity Monitoring - Security - Self-Hosted Synthetic Monitoring - Data Transformation - Custom Data Collection ## Zabbix Features - Popular features found in Server Monitoring Activity Dashboard Alerts/Escalation Performance Monitoring Reporting/Analytics Uptime Reporting - More features of Zabbix Access Controls/Permissions Alerts/Notifications API Application Management Audit Management Audit Trail Authentication Bandwidth Monitoring Configuration Management CPU Monitoring Customizable Dashboard Dashboard Dashboard Creation Data Visualization Diagnostic Tools Drag & Drop Email Monitoring Event Logs For Websites Incident Management IP Address Monitoring Issue Management Mail Server Monitoring Maintenance Scheduling Monitoring Network Analysis Network Monitoring Network Resource Management Performance Metrics Real-Time Monitoring Real-Time Notifications Remote Monitoring & Management Reporting & Statistics Root Cause Analysis Server Monitoring Service Level Agreement (SLA) Management Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Third-Party Integrations Threshold Alerts Trend Analysis Virtual Machine Monitoring Visual Analytics Web Traffic Reporting Widgets Workflow Automation Workflow Management ## Zabbix Integrations Microsoft Entra ID Integration rated undefined from -1 review Confluence Integration rated undefined from -1 review ClusterControl Integration rated undefined from -1 review Apache CloudStack Integration rated undefined from -1 review Cloudflare Integration rated undefined from -1 review ClickSend Integration rated undefined from -1 review See all 74 integrations ## Zabbix User Reviews ## Zabbix customer ratings - Overall rating: 4.7/5 - Total reviews: 111 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 81 reviews (73%) - 4 stars: 27 reviews (24%) - 3 stars: 3 reviews (3%) - 2 stars: 0 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 0 reviews (0%) ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.0/5 - Value for money: 4.8/5 - Customer support: 4.2/5 - Functionality: 4.6/5 --- ### Zabbix review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Banking - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros 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 #### Cons 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. #### Reasons for choosing Zabbix I have actually splitted the monitoring in 2. I use datadog for website/uptime monitoring and zabbix as an onpremises and internal monitoring. If i chose datadog for internal monitoring then the costs would be prohibiting. So thats why we chose zabbix for the infrastructure part --- ### Zabbix Best Network Monitoring for Enterprise Network - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chamroeunrith C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered previously we were using cacti, but its very mess related to the pooling, and crontab sometime work sometime not, sometime system/server down 10min but cacti still not alert, finally we find the solution to use the zabbix monitoring, we solved all these problem, even the less storage on server, high io in server, server temperature, router temperature zabbix can report very well. i recommend go with zabbix server save your time, you implement one time use forever, until now i use more than 3 years since 2017. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros zabbix is not the same other platform, its elastic of graph can generate graph very well. zabbix support both protocol agent and snmp protocol that easy to integrated for all product including server. zabbix support the alert notification that is perfect and the best notification is integrated with telegram, so each time there have alert it sent to telegram, system administrator/network engineer just sit and look at the telegram chat only. networking map can draw the map of system and network devices that connect to each other, and it give the accurate information related to traffic bandwidth, cpu process very well. #### Cons there still small problem is some vendor not provide the snmp template to zabbix, so need to discuss with zabbix community. #### Reasons for choosing Zabbix zabbix is powerful, at the first time i use cacti, i don't know that there have such a great product like this, i know zabbix by searching online and try to read features and install and use it. also zabbix is free for use, as my network there have 60 cisco switch, 4 dell server, 2 SAN storage, and 4 core switch 20Gbps,mikrotik router on the other branch, and there have around 60VM including windows server, ubuntu, debian, redhat we integrated it all into zabbix for monitoring. #### Reasons for switching to Zabbix the pooling and graph of cacti is not dynamic and no notification alert, need to have one pc to monitor all the network traffic, but using zabbix no need to do like this, all notification are sent to telegram chat by telegram bot. --- ### Difficult, but funcional - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It makes it easy to track machine health, and you can integrate with software like Pagerduty to warn of incidents. It saves you the trouble of scanning a screen and an action because so much you can automate #### Cons It is difficult to use and configure, you need to study the tool hard to get a good potential for use of it. The courses are kind of expensive too --- ### Experience with Zabbix - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Carlos Hugo Martin C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Its ease of implementation, the options it offers for the different environments that one may face in companies, its capacity for horizontal clarification, its ease of integration with other tools either as data sources or as a receiver. #### Cons There are configurations, such as SNMP, which depending on the vendor and the model can be very complex. It does not have the option of high availability or scale-up unless third-party tools are used. #### Reasons for switching to Zabbix Zabbix has a greater reach and offers more possibilities. --- ### Zabbix is a Flexible, Reliable, Extensible monitoring solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered This is the heart of our business and has saved the day a number of times by alerting us to issues before there was a catastrophe. It also helps us to see issues to resolve on our own and our clients systems. This has been the heart of our business for two years. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Zabbix has so many preconfigured templates for servers and service profiles. Is easy to extend and adapt to monitor and alert in new and different ways. Presents a clean dashboard of problem alerts, can track system inventory and can autodiscover hosts and devices. It has become an essential tool for us and is the heart of our business. #### Cons I would like to see it able to run in a leaner hardware profile. Obviously if we're monitoring hundreds of machines we need storage space and cpu/memory to do so, but it can be resource hungry. #### Reasons for choosing Zabbix We tried observium for a while but once we got to know Zabbix we didn't look back, shut down our Observium tracking server and moved everything in to the Zabbix infrastructure. #### Reasons for switching to Zabbix We had looked for years for a more comprehensive solution than simple up/down monitoring of systems such as PHPServerMonitor. This has the flexibility, ability to expand and the easy to use problem dashboard that we needed. --- ### Zabbix Setup in a Medium Enterprise - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kudzai K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Forum support is high and assistance is relatively quick. #### Cons Some of the errors do not provide enough information to troubleshoot issues.

No incentive was offered With Zabbix, currently I'm monitoring physical and virtual server performance and usage [CPU, Memory, Storage, etc]. I have realized that Zabbix made my life easier since it sends me alerts as e-mails if any issue occurred in my servers. Specially it helps me to manage my server storage since it sends alerts after severs reach the threshold limits, so I am able to take necessary precautions to maintain my servers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Zabbix is the best open-source monitoring tool that allows me to customize templates as I want to monitor any server and desktop operating system and set different threshold limits for alerts by simply editing the xml file. Not only operating systems, It allows me to monitor VMware ESXi hosts and also the enterprise network devices such as Routers, Switches and Access Points as well. #### Cons With Zabbix, I have tried to monitor Cent OS, Ubuntu OS and Windows 10 OS using SNMP and I have noticed that it takes more time to identify services that are running in the OS (Some times it takes more than 1 hour) and also it can identify only few services with SNMP. But later-on, I have installed Zabbix agents to all the 3 operating systems and then add them to Zabbix server. Then the server started identifying all the host services with in seconds. So, my recommendation is to always use Zabbix Agent if it is available for the client. #### Reasons for choosing Zabbix Price of Zabbix is really low compared with other alternative products in the market. --- ### Excellent Enterprise Monitoring Solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Martin K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
