- Affordable and widespread solution: you'll have no issues finding personnel to configure and support the solution in-house.
Cons: - The solution might look overwhelming to non-tech people at first, but it's still ergonomic.
Overall: We've implemented Zabbix monitoring more than five years ago, and extended it nearly to all areas of our IT operations: it helped us to proactively identify and fix problems before our customers face those issues.
With the help of Zabbix, our SLA is close to 99.997% (2018).
Pros: With the tool we monitor the traffic, availability, latency and we have all the information to be able to provide ideal service for our clients.
Cons: I have nothing bad to say about this tool yet.
Pros: Zabbix is easy to configure and deploy.
Cons: Zabbix need to provide more training videos and documentations
Once you get used to it being open on another monitor or in the background, that becomes part of your office life. If you suspect something's going wrong - a quick look at the dashboard will already give you an idea or where to dig.

Cons
Configuration wise it seems all locked to the skilled admins that know how to deal with it, putting it out of reach of regular users. Seems to be lacking customization for the dashboard style.

Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.
Overall: Zabbix is helping in to monitor the Application and Network. The best thing I like in it is the flexible dashboard which can be configure according to the need of the administrator.
This open-source and flexible program has been used by several of our teams for the past 6+ years. We have enjoyed how we've been able to adapt it to meet the monitoring needs in several areas.
There is a bit of a learning curve that happens with any new software, and Zabbix is no exception. The menus and navigation could certainly be improved to make it more intuitive to use.
The real-time monitoring and lightweight nature of the tools make it a staple for several teams!
I love that Zabbix is extendable. Specifically that you can write custom applications for it's database, including responding to events within the application itself.
While the community is strong, I felt like some elements of the Zabbix interface did require somewhat of a steep learning curve. Once you get past that, however, it's a fantastic tool to use.
The fact that the group behind Zabbix offers a virtual machine to get you started on makes it a snap to get started with. Even if you need to resize based on your needs, having the basic starter in the virtual machine was super helpful.
Performance monitoring and alerting. Previously we had to maintain multiple systems (Cacti/Nagios, etc), but Zabbix support many of the same features out of the box and has the ability to install agents on Solaris (a big win for us) that made adding hosts very trivial.
Pros: Sometimes it's tough to sort through a bunch of logs and get a real idea of what's going on if you aren't that savvy at reading them, or need a quick visual to present to others that would fit that first category. Zabbix has you covered on both ends.
Cons: Some of the data can be a bit intimidating, but that's really a user issue.
I find it very easy to use and the snmpd polling features flawless. We utilize this to monitor our production sites and have never had problems with false reporting. The GUI is easy to navigate and installing/setup on Linux very easy.
Nothing to currently dislike, this product has met all of our network and system monitoring needs.
We require all systems up with strict SLA. zabbix has allowed us to respond quickly when systems become inaccessible or when network switch ports change to disable. Great tool
