Room For Improvement

BigPanda requires AI enhancements, bug fixes, improved usability, expanded features, and better integration to address cost and performance issues.
eG Enterprise needs updates in UI, customization, integration, configuration, pricing, and licensing to improve user experience.
A 'deep dive' analysis feature would be appreciated to give detailed insights such as CPU usage and disk space analysis.
It would be beneficial if BigPanda leveraged AI to solve critical issues related to editing and sending alerts based on enrichment mapping files.
Software Engineer at Trianz
If BigPanda could integrate AI, it would enhance the platform significantly by offering chatbot functionality within the BigPanda UI.

For small and medium businesses, eG Enterprise is usually too expensive.

I think the overall licensing models of eG Enterprise could be changed and adapted to a more flexible, more agile structure.

BigPanda offers competitive pricing and flexible licensing, benefiting high-growth companies with potential costs reaching $200,000 annually.

There are indirect costs related to managing open-source products, leading to resource investment in maintaining the dashboards for these capabilities.
Director Of Engineering at Broadcom Inc.
The pricing is per user per year and varies depending on the components being monitored.

Valuable Features

BigPanda enhances incident management with AI-driven analysis, reducing response times via integration and alert consolidation for improved reliability.
eG Enterprise provides comprehensive monitoring and diagnostics with user-friendly UI, AI automation, and seamless integration, enhancing satisfaction.
Its automation has significantly improved incident response times, reducing the process to within one minute.
It can correlate multiple issues within a single device, create a single incident, and thus reduce noise and provide faster resolution.
Manager Observability at ICE
BigPanda improves service reliability with instant resolution, increased uptime, and reduced mean time to resolution, thus enhancing service quality.
Technical Lead
The data gathering capabilities and the automation, which utilizes artificial intelligence, are the most valuable features.
Senior Enterprise Director at Towers IT
User satisfaction with eG Enterprise is really the key component now, so if you go to VDI or RDH, any of those platforms, you get the total end-to-end user experience because they do have endpoint monitoring now as well, and that was the feature that was lacking before.

Featured Reviews

Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO / Co-Founder at Aiops ltd
Automated incident workflows have reduced alert noise and now improve response efficiency
In my opinion, the best feature of BigPanda is its speed in terms of deployment. It has very strong integration with all of the major platforms and workflows that organizations need. The biggest customers are enterprises like HSBC and Barclays. Implementing something effective for them that dramatically reduces meantime to repair and the number of incidents is substantially difficult, as projects can often extend three years with very small results. BigPanda is different; it is a tool relied on by many enterprises, fitting over existing toolsets rather than trying to replace them, which makes it non-competitive to many existing alerts and monitoring tools. It enhances existing systems to provide actionable intelligence for business solutions.

End-to-end monitoring has improved user experience and now supports comprehensive observability
The most valuable features of eG Enterprise depend on the application, so that's pretty vast, but they definitely include end-to-end application and infrastructure monitoring. User satisfaction with eG Enterprise is really the key component now, so if you go to VDI or RDH, any of those platforms, you get the total end-to-end user experience because they do have endpoint monitoring now as well, and that was the feature that was lacking before.
