Performance of Zabbix Across Market Features

Zabbix Likes & Dislikes

Fast, reliable, scalable. Offers an enormous quantity of official templates that will let you save a lot of time during the configuration. Can be customized and integrated with other tools, API service is very powerful. All these features in a modern tool. Last but not least you can rely on a large community of users, and official support plans will let you sleep peacefully.

Suited for users who prefer Terminal and command line Forums and Community can help but they are very slow to respond.

Its flexibility and the level of detail it gives when monitoring. You can monitor a wide range of components that gives an in-depth level review of your environment.

There isn't a specific thing i don't like, but when you start using Zabbix you need to take your time as the tool is wide and in some cases a bit complex.

Setting up a front end server using MySQL to have a web GUI portal can be long and time consuming. Steep learning curve using Terminal/Bash along with online tutorials and various tools. Very steep cost to have support write new templates/migrate data from the existing platform.

The initial setup can be quite complex, expecially if your environment is large. It can take some time to properly configure all the templates and triggers to match your infrastructure.
