"Can Zabbix handle large scale monitoring smoothly ?"
What do you like best about Zabbix?

It is an open source monitoring tool used in Linux and it is used by our customer support to monitoring the servers. It is open source it is free which makes it a good tool to work with. We can customize the Dashboard and alerts as per our need using this tool. It is scalable and also reflects the history trends which is useful for us. It is easy to use if someone has knowledge of Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zabbix?

Setup and configuration is tough for the new joiners. If I used to set the alerts some times it's tricky to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Integration with Unmatched Visibility"
What do you like best about Zabbix?

I really like Zabbix's ability to integrate with everything I have. It's very easy to integrate network devices, databases, or anything that supports SNMP or data sending. The integration feature stands out to me because I can easily integrate things like a UPS battery using SNMP. The features related to integration, such as alerting in Microsoft Teams, workflows, and email alerting, are very easy for me to use. The setup was super easy, like a play of a kid, with a very straightforward step-by-step process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zabbix?

I can see some dashboards with how my management want with data that is not possible with so yeah that could be improved. It didn't meet my expectations. My suggestion is if there's a possibility to add some widgets that can make that possible, then it would be amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexibility and real-time alerts: the best free option for IT and Cloud"
What do you like best about Zabbix?

It is a free editing tool, with great flexibility and many nodes to monitor, it allows you to discover almost everything on IT and Cloud platforms, and the best part is its real-time alert system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zabbix?

A lot of Linux knowledge is needed to take advantage of and adjust everything necessary for the good management of Zabbix. Deploying agents when there are many can become a bit tedious, and finally, improve its graphical interface a bit more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intimidating But Feature Rich"
What do you like best about Zabbix?

I will start by saying Zabbix was not easy to implement and not easy to integrate, even for our advanced systems administration team.

I will say that once we got it up and running, we don't know how we lived without it and it is super easy to use.

We use it every single day to track packet loss, agent uptime, internet status, hard drive space, printer metrics, basically anything we can think of, Zabbix has a way for us to track it either directly with a Zabbix agent or via some sort of API.

There is no customer support, it's all on you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zabbix?

Now that we're through the setup and have everything up and running, nothing at all! It's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Open-Source Monitoring, Ideal for Customizable Infrastructure Setups"
What do you like best about Zabbix?

Zabbix offers deep flexibility in infrastructure monitoring. We’ve used it extensively to monitor Linux and Windows servers, network devices, applications, and custom scripts. Its support for SNMP, agent-based, and agentless monitoring gives us wide coverage. The templating system is powerful — you can clone, modify, or create your own templates for complex setups. The built-in alerting and notification logic is robust, and with a bit of scripting, Zabbix can even handle self-healing workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zabbix?

The UI, while functional, feels outdated and not very intuitive for newcomers. Setting up advanced dashboards or integrating third-party data sources (like cloud metrics from AWS or Azure) often requires additional customization or external scripts. The learning curve can be steep if you're aiming for a fully automated and custom-monitored environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
