Pros It's open source and very to deploy via Docker, with minimal agent setup on the individual host machines Cons There's a little bit of a learning curve compared to the paid for services but there's plenty of community support and documentation. Alternatives considered [Amazon CloudWatch](https://www.capterra.com/p/204333/Amazon-CloudWatch/) Reasons for choosing Zabbix Cloudwatch was very experience in comparison Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Systems Analyst Information Technology and Services ### "You gotta love zabbix" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 10, 2025 Excellent. If something doesn't work, the reason is almost always between the keyboard and the chair. Pros Very easy to get started, will scale from home monitoring to global scale. No need to know much about monitoring, you can go far with "learning on the go". Possibilities are almost endless, you will run out hosts first. Zabbix is free for life, so getting started and seeing if it would fit your requirements is easy and risk free. No time limits or stripped features! Zabbix community is excellent. You can extend your expertise with the community forums. It's easy to get involved, too. Getting certified is an option as well. Cons Local installation requires some database, which makes it a bit more complicated than simple clicking, but the Cloud version fixes that, too.

VM Vedran M. Network engineer Information Technology and Services ### "My review of zabbix" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 10, 2025 Im a Zabbix fan and I use it at my work for professional purposes and also in free time for DIY IoT projects. I often recommend Zabbix to everyone who needs to monitor any kind of information, not just IT related. Pros I like the fact that its open source and adjustable for my needs. I can create my own modules and changes as I or as my users want. Cons Lack of some features like filtering information that has entire data overview and often official documentation is not enough. I love to se real examples how to do something and not just raw docs. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Project Manager Government Administration ### "Implementing Zabbix" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 10, 2025 We are currently testing and evaluating zabbix. So far all my technicians happy with the product and are looking forward to working with it as a main tool. Pros The fact that it is open source, it will have a positive effect on our budget and free up resources for staff training and other investments that in turn will positively impact out Zabbix utilization Cons We are currently evaluating and testing the implementation, so far we have not run into any serious issues.

Software developer Information Technology and Services ### "Good and Bad" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 10, 2025 Developing custom UI for zabbix problems, where customer wanted specific UI. And developing custom reporting tool. Pros Customizability, where I can monitor every single thing my mind can come up with. Just script and output what i need and im good. Cons Database structure. When i need to combine e.g. metrics from same interface alias, utilization etc... its real pain in the ass to get thousands of interfaces and all their metrics in one place.

JS Jens S.

Much better than SCCM or WhatsUp Gold. Pros The ability to monitor anything. If something can output something you can get it into Zabbix and alert on it! Cons Be able trigger an alert on discovery and not after first the time it gets a value. It would be very nice to be able to trigger on discovery.

AM Adrian M. IT monitoring services manager Information Technology and Services ### "Event driven review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 9, 2025 Well, I am working with Zabbix for almost 4 years and I am happy that I can still be challenged by development of new templates for example. Also I am looking forward at zabbix direction in next 5 years, because observability is my main target right now Pros In my case - it was possibilities and a fresh look at other sides of IT, because in my sides IT was mostly described in 3-was - Networking, administer and also programming Cons I had problems with event driven triggers, im looking forward to make this issue a little bit better Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

IT Monitoring Architect Information Technology and Services ### "IT Monitoring Architect" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 9, 2025 I'm Zabbix Certified Trainer with ~10 years of experience. I provided a lot of implementation of Zabbix in more than 30 enterprise customers. Pros That this is a open source software which are listening its own community. I personally provided one feature which was included to Zabbix 7.0 LTS. So that was nice :) Cons Visualizations are quite not flexible. It could be more complex and it should provides transformations of colected values. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

IT Director Religious Institutions ### "Zabbix is free and powerful" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 24, 2025 It's great, definitely suggest it. If you are willing to learn a lot and maintain it yourself in exchange for having a free on-prem solution, I think the trade-off is worth it. Pros Zabbix is amazing. It's free open source software for monitoring IT infrastructure. I use it to track the health of my office laptops, router, network switches, everything. The web UI dashboard is easy to read and you can configure email notifications, which I have turned into helpdesk tickets for me to review by sending to my Helpdesk's email address. Cons It's definately a learning experience if you haven't used something like this before (which I hadn't). You have to learn about SNMP, managing the templates for the devices you want to monitor, setting up the hosts one-by-one for monitoring or using the scanner option and then tweaking what it finds. It's a lot to do at first but the reward is now I typically know about an issue in the office before anyone else even notices it, much less sends me a ticket about it. If you are multi-office it may be more than you want to undertake. Yes you can setup Proxies and connect them, but if you manage lots of locations you may want to look at something cloud hosted at that point? I feel the strength is managing on-prem with this solution.
