Great for monitoring your cloud based infrastructure/services

That it's easy to use (it has its own GUI) with all kinds of different metrics that you can easily configure as well as add your own custom ones too! It also supports alerts through email or SMS notifications which are great for keeping everyone up to date when something goes wrong! The pricing model could be better - there isn't really much choice in between tiers so sometimes we pay more than necessary depending where our workloads lie at any given time. Some things may take some getting…

Pros
  • It's free and open source
  • Alerting when certain conditions change
Cons
  • There isn't much choice in the pricing model, it's pretty limited

Great tool, helpful monitoring services

Easy setup - very simple configuration file format for different OS's (including windows). The fact that it can be used both as agent or server makes using this product easy even when you are not expert in system administration stuffs. Very handy dashboard which provides quick overview over all monitored parameters (although sometimes it seems like there could be more options available), also having graphs gives additional information about how much load each machine has received during last…

Pros
  • Monitoring works fine especially network infrastructure metrics but is good idea add some basic checks regarding local security issues i think.

Easy, flexible & comprehensive monitoring tool

It's easy to setup/manage and deploy across all your environments with it being web based which makes deployments very simple. For us as administrators we need to be able to set custom alerts for our own use but that could do without some of the more complex functions like creating graphs or even better reporting features. We just wanted something that was robust and reliable at a low cost so this does those things well. Having access via web browser works really well too - no client side…

Pros
  • The ability to have centralised monitoring within one location is good, however you can also monitor specific devices individually (ie; an IP address) should they require additional attention beyond what others may offer elsewhere eg ; nagios would likely not tell me when these individual hosts were down due only using device level checks such as TCP ports 80 etc....etc..Zbxiks has many options! And
Cons
  • Nothing here
