ManageEngine OpManager - 24*7 in-depth network management

Since it is pocket-friendly and easy-to-use at the same time, OpManager continues to be every IT admins first choice! Read on to find out why OpManager is the perfect Zabbix alternative.
 

Replace Zabbix with OpManager?

Comparing the average user reviews in the market, we have compiled a summary as to why OpManager is the best Zabbix alternative available in the market.

1) Implementation: The majority of users feel that Zabbix is complex and has a wide learning curve which can be overwhelming for new network administrators. Another important factor reported by users is the lack of help documentation for Zabbix.

2) UI: Zabbix has a complicated user interface that is not intuitive and figuring out the basic concepts like device templates and even network discovery takes time and effort.

3) Ease of access: The auto-discovery and auto registration is clunky and you have to manually edit the thresholds on a server-by-server basis. The major setback is most functions in Zabbix are script-based which again requires product expertise which is difficult when monitoring an enterprise network.

4) Pricing: Even if Zabbix is open-sourced, they offer custom developer support, implementation support, and training which comes with a price tag. The majority of users feel that setting up Zabbix and tweaking it to serve your needs is a difficult process.

Taking into account all these factors, OpManager offers transparent pricing, ease of access, highly advanced network automation, high scalability, and various product enhancements which simplifies the entire process of network monitoring and management. If you are searching for an alternative to Zabbix network monitoring software, you are in the right hands.
