I am unaware of what I like best about it because everything I used to like about it seems like it has been washed out the drain hose when this software was made commercial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was ruined and the whole philosophy of the original open source zenoss was gone when this software went commercial. It worked very well back in 2014 when you could monitor and graph SNMP devices, have awesome alerts through email, text, and land line phone calls. The interface was a balance between complex and simple if you just took some time to learn it and earn it. Last time I tried to load the open source version of Zenoss there was some kind of terrible simplification front end that just made it terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the ability of it to hierarchically categorize alerts and show the highest level which is most likely where the issue is is very helpful and advanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As with all similar products there is a lot of up front configuration, I wish it had better tools to speed the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monitoring Software, using MicroService Arch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hard to TroubleShoot, and fix the issue. Over a Long time running stability of the product reduces. Many option are not easily customizable. Like if I do not want certain set of Process been detected by a Device, it is quite hard to customize the ZenPacks.
Further it is not clear which Metrics/ and Monitor are done by which ZenPacks and so on....
In Short, quite harde to troubleshoot.. and fix a issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Zenoss Service Dynamics we're able to monitor physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures from a unified platform. Seems to have scaled well in supporting data, devices, and users.This tool really helps our MS Data Center team manage Presidio's internal systems; in particular, our Data Collection Appliances (DCAs) and Linux jump servers. Presents a wealth of valuable information on any device: overview, events, component health, performance graphs, configuration properties, views, and network maps. All very helpful for diagnosing problems and root cause analysis.
Our MS Data Center team uses the Zenoss Incident Management Integration Service with ServiceNow for service monitoring and component monitoring. The Monitoring Automation section of ServiceNow provides detailed device information and resolution information gathered from the Zenoss collector that we use to troubleshoot the incident.

Load balancing on zenoss instances. We usually need to restart the services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Modeling to discover changes in the environment as well as discovery of relationships to offer a full view up and down your stacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact that you have to place a whole host into maintenance not just the components you are working on can be a tough feature to do without especially if your org already had it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
