Application Performance Management
Comparison of Application Performance Management features of Product A and Product B
eG Enterprise has brimming monitoring potentiality; it monitors servers, applications, networks, and basically the entire infrastructure. It is a comprehensive and flexible monitoring tool with deep app diagnostic capabilities. It reports slowing down of apps and isolates the cause of the down trending. The tool is expensive but provides good value for money.
Because we spread out in different locations, we can't always know the status of our devices. Zabbix solves this issue for us. As soon as we see an alert that the remote site is down, we can solve it right away. I can't think of a scenario where it was less appropriate for us.
Alerts; Zabbix allows deep customization of conditions and alerts giving you the ability to perform nearly any scripted action in a variety of scenarios
Inventory; having one place to see a list of all on-going problems and list of servers within your organization is critical
Graphs; screens or graphs showing customizable and color-coded historical usage is a necessity in any monitoring software
eG Enterprise supports only traditional Deployment Architecture on Desktop, Windows server and Linux server
Could be Improve in Integration like accepting data from different monitoring tools and perform the data analytics like deduplication correlation etc…
I am sure the product is excellent for Technologies monitoring like Citrix, SAP, VMware, Oracle, Nutanix and 0365, Competitive licensing can defiantly give edge
It is free. It didn't cost anything to implement (other than my time and the cost incurred for it) and it is filling a badly needed gap in our IT infrastructure. Support is available if we have issues and can be done annually or paid for on a per incident basis as needed. Expansion, updates, and all other future lifecycle activities are likewise free of cost, so as long as someone is able to implement/maintain the software (and the OSS project is maintained) then I imagine the company will never leave it.
Well i find the tool quite useful for my daily network monitoring purpose. We get the alerts easily through SMS which saves us lot of our times and effort. The tool is highly customizable which i mentioned earlier which helps to create different alert criteria for different device or system.
The setup is the most time-consuming portion of using zabbix. It takes a lot of effort to shape it into a usable format and even then it can get very messy. It's not exactly intuitive and as mentioned the UI seems a bit antiquated. If I was to roll out a monitoring solution from scratch, I'd probably look for alternatives which are easier to use and maintain.
We are a mainly Windows environment, so it would be useful if we could have used Active Directory to deploy agents. As of version 4.2, Zabbix has announced a new agent MSI file to allow exactly that. Unfortunately, we didn't have that option. Also, for Linux and MAC deployments, there is no simple way to deploy that. Using remote scripts you may be able to create something, but most places will opt for either SNMP (agentless) or manual installation of agents to add to Zabbix. A way of deploying agents via discovery would go a long way to helping in the adoption of the tool.
Its Lacking Synthetic monitoring of VDI user transactions and also doesn’t comprehensively monitor the technologies like SharePoint, SAP, Exchange etc...
The software's I mentioned are great, but they are overpriced comparing to Zabbix while it's a free open-source application. The value its adding has high price than any other free open-source apps. the monitoring and alerts details and the friendly user interface is stacking up against any other apps in the web.
Deep dive monitoring of VDI environment has defiantly helped to maintain the reliable VDI service for Citrix and VMware Horizon and avoid lot of tickets in my ITSM
Product is really good however I believe its bit expensive, eG should rethink on the license cost
Zabbix has had a positive impact on uptime of our external facing website. Users don't always call up our Customer Service team to report that something is down - sometimes they just abandon the website all together. By having a monitoring solution that tells us when things are down before customers do, we are able to respond quickly and avoid losing visitors and ultimately sales.
