Zabbix vs. Zenoss

I used Zenoss for a little bit, but was frustrated with Zope (which I have no experience with). I couldn't figure out how the data was stored (it's a long story -- there was something I wanted to change, but couldn't, so I tried to tweak it in the database, but Zenoss uses MySQL for events only, not devices, which I guess are stored using Zope...) so I started trying out Zabbix, which stores everything in its MySQL database. In my limited experience, Zabbix seems more configurable than Zenoss, and I have an easier time understanding the database schema and the php pages.
