Grant W.: Hi there. My name's Grant. I'm a DevOps engineer. I would give Zabbix a four out of five rating. For more reviews, click below. Previous to using Zabbix, we were using Nagios for our monitoring. While it did seem to be okay, we found that Zabbix was a much better solution overall. We decided to go with [Nabbix 00:00:27] for our monitoring for multiple different reasons actually. The first one being the amount of different plugins that Zabbix has. We like the interface on it. We liked the speed of getting things set up. It seems to be a nice monitoring tool overall. We found getting set up with Zabbix to be relatively easily actually. We looked at all the options and deployed Zabbix within a couple of months. We have fine tuned it to our specific needs, and it seems to be working well. I would recommend anybody who wants to use Zabbix take a look at all the options. Take a look at all the plugins. Do your planning before you even start to look at rolling this out. Doing that will save you a lot of time in the long run, and it'll all be set up correctly and nicely for you.
