Comments about Zabbix as a Alternative to Datadog
Most users think Zabbix is a great Datadog alternative.
Guest
Zabbix does not work off of the StatsD / Graphite basis, requires an agent on each monitored instance (instead of sending simple updates via UDP, or HTTP), Zabbix cannot adapt to dynamic infrastructure environments.
