Zabbix

Avantages

Facile à déployer très intuitif et simple d’utilisation

Inconvénients

Pour le moment c’est l’ajout des boitier Watchguard et les plugins personnalisés comme pour pfsense.

Avantages

Zabbix is open-source, and you can use it for free. So there's no excuse not to use it. It's very comprehensive so you can do almost any type of monitoring. We monitor various services, such as Nginx, MariaDB, etc. Plus, we can set up custom monitoring to keep an eye on things that are unique to our needs. Zabbix can also perform actions/commands, so you can set up a monitoring and response system to ensure your services are up and running.

Inconvénients

Zabbiz is feature-rich, but that comes with a steep learning curve. It's not bad if you know what you're doing, but it can be a bit of a challenge for beginners.

Avantages

We use Zabbix to monitor all VM on our network. The most useful feature is the ability to configure the notifications (disk/cpu usage, server restarts and availability) to use Telegram, which mean we are notified almost immediately after the event. Group notifications work faultlessly. The user Zabbix forum and Telegram/Discord channels provide a great support from other Zabbix users. We found answers to all our questions.

Inconvénients

There is a slightly steep curve in sense of understanding the templates and triggers, but once this is understood, adding more network devices is a matter of minutes.

Avantages

Very good at tracking server inventory and offers a comprehensive alerting platform for any number of different scenarios.

Inconvénients

Confusing and hard to set up. Training is a necessity in my opinion if you are going to get the best from this product

Avantages

Rich in features, a lot of possible Intergrations, out of box templates and multi-tenancy support, powerful API, supports most monitoring protocols for networks, servers, services, applications and IoT. Can monitor pretty much everything using standard protocols of custom scripts.

Inconvénients

Initial setup requires a lot of work and a lot of optimization is needed in the long run. The documentation isn't so clear for first timers, especially when common issues arise during installation or post installation administration.

Zabbix has clear advantages over other similar platforms; among them, we have that it is an open-source platform that opens several options, such as customization according to the specific needs of the organization, additionally and not least is the cost as it has no associated licenses so for organizations with low budget is extremely attractive.

Inconvénients

While it is true that the dashboard and user interface are very intuitive, the tool lacks some features that could facilitate work when creating reports and statistics; the option to export traffic graphs with image format is not available, and even export statistical data in plain text format for reporting.

Avantages

Easy deployment, good documentation, good user interface and great features.

Inconvénients

Some configurations might be difficult if you don’t read a lot of documentation.

Avantages

In order to guarantee your infrastructure's seamless operation and avoid downtime, monitoring is crucial. You can monitor crucial metrics like server performance, network traffic, and application health with tools like Zabbix and get alerts when something is off. You can do this to find problems early on and fix them before they become serious.

Inconvénients

I did not get any cons but i think but setting it up and optimising it can take some time and a thorough grasp of the system.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Zabbix is an open source monitoring solution to monitor our complete infrastructure. Zabbix helps in monitoring any kind of IT solution like servers, network, services, virtual machine, database or website monitoring. The new interface and features included in Zabbix 4.2 are really impressive. Zabbix helps in storing the data in JSON format so other application can also use it. Zabbix proxy is highly recommended for large scale of production system. The low level discovery automatically search the new nodes without any effort.

Inconvénients

Zabbix notification and per-user view are the areas that need to be enhanced more and come with the more customization options. The support tickets sounds expensive if you buy some start packs so an Enterprise pack is always recommended if you need to implement it to complete infrastructures of a large organization.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

I haven't encountered any drawbacks using this software

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Avantages

The administrator interface has helped me a lot when evaluating, identifying and solving problems in my servers

The great versatility that it has when scanning devices the way in which it presents the logs, in turn as it can obviate recurring errors presented in the Dashboard

Inconvénients

At the time of the installation of the database with postgresql there are some user errors, it may be that the installer does not create the permissions for the user set by us at the time of installation.

It is not very friendly for people who are not experienced in Linux because it is a bit complex the optimal implementation of this application

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Zabbix is easy to configure and deploy.

Inconvénients

Zabbix need to provide more training videos and documentations

Avantages

Free and FOSS keeps the cost down, so that's good. It can monitor so many things - servers, switched, sensors. Alerts can be configured to be sent to the right personnel and at the right times. Worth the effort to get it setup.

The effort to get it setup can be a bit much, depending on the devices that you need to monitor. For example, IPMI can be a challenge.

Avantages

It's a very important tool when I've many server running in our infraestructure.

Inconvénients

That needs a deep kwnoledge to setup that.
