CA Application Delivery Analysis [EOL] vs Zabbix comparison

"Once it is setup and seeing traffic, it is an impressive tool to show potential problems long before the general users are complaining."

"The pricing is relatively low compared to other solutions in this area, and I'd go so far as to say it's even significantly less than the competition."

"The most valuable feature is the fault management monitoring."

"Technical support is excellent."

"The alerting systems are very good in Zabbix, and it has helped us to reduce time for reaction."

"We like the user-interface for this solution, which makes it an easy to use tool."

"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."

"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."

"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."

"Zabbix is quite stable once it is set up. We haven't had any post-setup issues."

"The resource usage, CPU utilization, disk usage, network monitoring, network performance, and alerting features are invaluable."

"It is a great product; the SNMP protocol tracking feature is good, I really like how it tracks SNMP, and the alerts are also great."

"My biggest complaint about ADA is that you have to rely on dedicated appliances."

"It is not the best product on the market, but it is better than the competition if you were comparing prices."

"Upgrades can be quite complex."

"Hard to setup right, hard to get the conversations right."

"The user interface needs improvement."

"It's OK for me as is, but some frontend improvements would be nice."

"The APM monitoring has room for improvement, although I hear that the new 5.2 version has some improvements in that area, and I'd like to give that a go. I would like to see a few more templates out there for different styles of monitoring. I use the Grafana interface for reporting. I would also like it to have an out-of-the-box ability to email reports. You can create reports, but to be able to email those reports would be really helpful. I've got users who are not interested in logging in and generating a report. They want it all pre-canned and sent to an email address. It would also be really handy if we could pin certain reports up onto platforms such as Teams or SharePoint. A GUI for the proxy server would be cool to have for debugging purposes and for the support teams to have a look at, but I don't know whether that's really feasible to do. I get enough from the log files themselves."

"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."

"The Java gateway for monitoring Java applications didn’t work for us."

"One of the things we don't like is that Zabbix has a license structure with a price that is high compared to the competition. It's very high, for example, compared to something like Microsoft Teams."

"Zabbix claims that there is an auto-discovery process but my team member was facing difficulty and was told that it's not really automatic, and there are some manual steps."

"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."

"The event correlation could be better. From day one, we're using the API to create tickets for our operations, however, the correlation is not good, not there."

"This is an expensive solution and there is a single price to pay for licensing, with no options."

"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."

"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."

"The tool's licensing is good."

"It is reasonable."

"The solution is free to use but they offer support as a paid service. If you can go read the manuals and do the fine-tuning based on your needs, you do not need to pay anything and you will have a full solution."

"We purchased Zabbix for a good price, including support"

"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."

"Zabbix is free but if you use it in production then you have to pay for it."
