<p>Zabbix has it's own set of technical setup/operations hurdles and
gotchas. While the possibility of outsourcing support for Zabbix
is there... <br>
</p>
<p>I'd point out the lesson of Solarwinds... Having someone else to
blame MAY leave you blind and open to catastrophe while feeling
safe and secure until you've fallen off the cliff.</p>
<p>Xymon since it's earliest days, has followed a KISS (keep it
simple stupid) principal. Less to break that way.</p>
<p>The "worst", most technical thing I know about installing Xymon
is building from source (my preferred method), but just about any
modern Linux distro has binaries available. The second "worst"
thing is editing text files to configure it. There have been
configuration tools attempted, but to my knowledge, really gone
nowhere.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">It does the job, but administration is
quite technical. It’s saved our bacon many a time with various
“enterprise” monitoring solutions coming and going. Our upper
management has been asking our team to look into using Zabbix
instead, which ticks the zero cost of entry box but with the
possibility of adding paid support.</p>

<p>Xymon is very much alive and works so well it needs few
updates... Although It needs a little known subsystem, SNMP,
to be better documented.</p>
