We performed a comparison between BigPanda and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"We have also made extensive use of the outbound integrations to ticketing systems (JIRA) and collaboration tools (Slack). The main driver for us has been getting all alerting into a single UI and enabling us to streamline our incident management process."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"Alert deduplication and correlation - In an environment like the NOC where you're ingesting hundreds and thousands of alerts from various monitoring sources, it's time consuming and difficult to go through individual alerts and also difficult to spot critical issues. It's been great to have BigPanda not only deduplicate alerts but also correlate alerts that are seemingly unrelated, to create a clearer picture."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"Easy integration - We've had challenges in the past integrating all of our various monitoring sources and tools into one central system. BigPanda, with the integrations that it already has, as well as offering webhook/REST API, has made it very easy for us to plug everything in."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"Analytics is an area for improvement, being able to break down the actions that are being taken by users of BigPanda, as well as the auto-magical work that is being done by BigPanda."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"Our infrastructure is quite large - tens of thousands of servers, often with 30-plus checks running on each host with one minute intervals. This generates a lot of data often in bursts (when we have a large scale failure). This has caused some delay in the ingestion pipeline."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"The product should provide performance management features."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"We want to make our own choice for the AIOps solution and do not want to be forced to use the Broadcom OI solution by default."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"Our consultant was four months on-site doing Spectrum setup and working through issues."
