How does Zabbix handle data visualization compared to other monitoring tools?
The question is about Zabbix
Zabbix offers a range of built-in data visualization options: graphs, dashboards, and network maps. it enables the viewing of real-time and historical data in a structured form. Zabbix comes with customizable dashboards showing key metrics and trends across servers, networks, and applications. But the visualization features of Zabbix are a bit more basic compared to specialized tools such as Grafana, which boasts very custom, interactive, and performatively vivid dashboards.
While in many ways Zabbix would suffice for the core requirement of visualization, more teams deploy Zabbix along with tools like Grafana that further enhance this critical visualization component with the introduction of higher standard needs met through more intricate, flexible dashboards. To sum up, Zabbix is very good to go with its default visualization in case one needs just very basic views of monitoring, but more advanced interactive dashboards are going to be better provided by dedicated tools like Grafana.
