Yes I totally understand what you mean, security and all that. All it is a table of Zabbix features which I was going to compare between each other - unfortunately I find PRTG's website rather inconclusive to compare the 2 against each other.
I understand there is reviews etc all over, but this wouldn't really fit the needs and comparisons I was looking for. I do believe PRTG is much easier to install than Zabbix, and I believe we do use an agent for Zabbix over a wide infrastructure.
My excel sheet just compromised of 2 columns, one has Zabbix features which I was then in the second column put a yes or no to whether PRTG could do this.
I know the internet is a large place, but not everyone review site actually compares the features down to the bone against each other so I thought I would post somewhere and see if I could get help.
Is there features I am missing? Anything that could be added to my Zabbix table I am missing that could be compared against PRTG? The more information I gather to compare against each other. The better.
Here is what I gathered from Zabbix website. ( Yes I cheated getting all this information
)
