2025 has been a dynamic and crucial year for Zabbix — marked not just by global events and major releases, but also by meaningful community engagement, an important milestone in our history, new ways of sharing expertise, and headcount growth around the world – all while making sure our product evolves to provide even more value for our valued customers and partners. Let’s dig in!
Celebrating 20 years in business
On April 12, Zabbix officially celebrated its 20th anniversary as a company. It was a time for our entire community to step back, take stock, and imagine what the future might bring as our offices threw some amazing birthday parties to celebrate two decades of growing (and monitoring) together!
“I’m very satisfied with the results we’ve achieved as a company and I’m extremely grateful for our community, customers, and partners – they make everything we do possible.” – Alexei Vladishev, Zabbix Founder and CEO
A new path toward Zabbix expertise
In October, we launched Zabbix Academy, an online learning platform that offers a comprehensive library of interactive courses that are designed to help users master every aspect of Zabbix, on their own time and at their own speed.
Zabbix Academy includes everything from an introduction to open-source monitoring to advanced Zabbix security administration. There’s no need for any prior certification or training, and Zabbix Academy offers certifications and skill assessments aligned with Zabbix standards as well as a flexible pricing model that includes both free and paid courses and webinars, plus the ability to choose either a single standalone course or a yearly subscription.
“Our community is our greatest asset, and we believe that continuous learning is essential for long-term success, and Zabbix Academy is proof of that commitment.” – Kristine Lamberte, Head of Training at Zabbix
Nous sommes Zabbix!
In addition to all the other positive news, 2025 will be remembered as the year we announced the acquisition of our long-term partner IZI-IT and the establishment of Zabbix France, a new regional office dedicated to providing localized support and closer collaboration with French users and enterprises.
Headed by IZI-IT Founder and CEO Steve Destivelle, Zabbix France will leverage France’s strong technology ecosystem, skilled workforce, and strategic location to build a new European hub that will enable faster response times, support compliance with regional business and regulatory expectations, and ultimately boost our brand visibility across Europe.
Home sweet home
2025 also happened to be the year in which Zabbix finally outgrew our long-time Riga location. In September, our search for new premises led us to make the move to a larger and more suitable office space. The new office is spacious, flexible, easily accessible by bicycle or public transport, and features a modern infrastructure that can help us continue growing and competing in the global marketplace.
Building a better product
The big news on the product development front was the release of Zabbix 7.4 in July. Zabbix 7.4 introduces a wide variety of new features that users have requested, while delivering significant UI/UX improvements that make monitoring with Zabbix even more accessible and efficient. Looking forward, our teams are also working hard to bring the next generation of Zabbix features to life, with the following projects in the works:
- Zabbix 8.0 LTS, which will introduce leading-edge technical features as well as a redesigned user interface with enhanced visualizations for a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
- Zabbix Mobile, an official Zabbix Mobile App for iOS and Android that will put instant push notifications, incident management, and seamless collaboration at your fingertips.
- Zabbix Marketplace, a global platform designed to connect users, partners, and vendors in order to help them exchange information and discover new solutions together.
Growing our community
From major conferences to local meetups and knowledge-sharing events, the global Zabbix ecosystem came together like never before in 2025! Everything we do at Zabbix happens with the knowledge that our community is what sets us apart, which is why we’ll always meet our members wherever they happen to be.
Our global events gave monitoring professionals, partners, and enthusiasts a valuable forum to share their real-world expertise, helping our users keep pace with evolving technologies, strengthening their professional networks, and making sure that community feedback continues to shape our offerings. Some of the highlights included:
- 12 Zabbix Labs across Latin America, designed to foster vocational education and train specialized professionals who are ready for the professional challenges of the future.
- 1 regional forum in Mexico City that brought together regional experts to discuss trends, share experiences, and explore how open source tools are changing the technology landscape.
- 5 conferences (Benelux, Germany, China, Japan, and Latin America) that delivered a unique mix of practical knowledge, direct access to experts, and networking opportunities.
- Innumerable exhibitions, trade fairs, and expos, which boosted our brand and built relationships.
- One incredible Zabbix Summit in Riga that brought together hundreds of professionals, developers, partners, and users to share insights, learn from expert talks and workshops, and explore real-world case studies on effective Zabbix use.
Meanwhile, 2025 saw our headcount grow in every one of our global offices, as more and more talented individuals got wind of what we’re doing and chose to be a part of it.
Not to be outdone, our partners team also added 16 Resellers and 16 Certified Partners to our roster of global associates, all while revising and updating our Partner Program to bring Zabbix services to new users in more locations and in additional languages.
Staying safe
Security is not a one-time milestone for Zabbix, but a continuous process. In 2025, we focused on making our security practices more proactive, transparent, and deeply embedded into how we build and operate our products and services.
In 2025 we successfully recertified our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27017:2015 certifications for another 3 year period. At the same time, our HackerOne bug bounty program continued to be a solid line of defense, as 2025 brought 24 valid submissions that netted $16,700 in bounties.
Furthermore, as Latvia’s only CNA, Zabbix continued to refine its CVE workflows with faster triage and publication timelines, as well as improved vulnerability severity assessment and documentation.
Giving back
During the 2025 holiday season, we continued what may be the most important Zabbix tradition at all – lending our support to local organizations that make a real difference in our communities, including those that provided family support, food relief, access to healthcare and rehabilitation services, and simple holiday joy to senior citizens.
Due in large part to efforts like these, in November Zabbix was named “Enterprise of Riga 2025” in the ICT category – a recognition awarded to the most successful and impactful companies in Riga’s priority sectors. The award highlights not only business results but also contributions to innovation, sustainability, employee well-being, and the growth of the local tech ecosystem.
Looking ahead to 2026
In keeping with our new slogan “Your business works – you know it,” the plan for 2026 and beyond is to evolve from a traditional monitoring tool to a full observability platform, as our Founder and CEO laid out in his keynote speech during Zabbix Summit 2025.
We’re also planning to up our game when it comes to community engagement and training, meaning conferences, meetups, trainings, online events, and global expos that take into account feedback from our community and are increasingly tailored to provide members with what they need most.
With that in mind, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing global community for everything they did to make 2025 such a success. Whether it was in the form of blog contributions translating documentation, or creating templates and widgets, our community showed up in a big way all throughout the year.
It also goes without saying that we couldn’t have made 2025 the year that it was without our customers, whose trust, collaboration, and commitment to excellence continued to inspire us, drive innovation across everything we do, and allow us to stay open source and innovative.
“Looking ahead, I am genuinely excited about what is coming next in 2026. We have ambitious goals, but I have no doubt whatsoever that together, as one strong, amazing team, we will deliver, grow and continue building something we can all be proud of.” – Alexei Vladishev
