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. > > 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. ----- ### "Event driven review" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *09 October 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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 > > 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 ----- ### "Powerful tool" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 February 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zabbix is a very powerful tool in the right hands > > **Cons**: It's a steep learning curve to both install and configure Zabbix especially when you need to do custom sensors > > A good product that is great in teh right organsation ----- ### "Great free server monitoring" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 November 2025* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > I used Zabbix for around four years to monitor both our internal and client infrastructure across many cloud providers. ----- ### "You gotta love zabbix" — 5.0/5 > **Mika** | *10 October 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > Excellent. If something doesn't work, the reason is almost always between the keyboard and the chair. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/135902/zabbix-monitoring-solution?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/135902/zabbix-monitoring-solution) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
