Abstract: For a finite group $G$, we consider the zeta function $zet{a}_G(s)=su{m}_{H}abs{H}^{-s}$, where $H$ runs over the subgroups of $G$. First we give simple examples of abelian $p$-group $G$ and non-abelian $p$-group $G^{\prime }$ of order $p^m,;mgeq3$ for odd $p$ (resp. $2^m,;mgeq4$) for which $zet{a}_G(s)=zet{a}_{G^{\prime }}(s)$. Hence we see there are many non-abelian groups whose zeta functions have symmetry and Euler product, like the case of abelian groups. On the other hand, we show that $zet{a}_G(s)$ determines the isomorphism class of $G$ within abelian groups, by estimating the number of subgroups of abelian $p$-groups. Finally we study the problem which abelian $p$-group is associated with a non-abelian group having the same zeta function.
