Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"Alert aggregation was the primary requirement. BigPanda pulls all this together into a single UI for us, allowing us to see related alerts grouped together into an incident, and enables us to easily create a JIRA ticket and Slack channel to manage an issue."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The program is very stable."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"BigPanda can improve the correlations. We didn't see any big value. It is still good at the same event deduplication, event processing, and ticket creation, but I was more looking at event analysis and event correlation. In that area, it is still no big difference between the other solutions on the market. All of them, are in the same immature stage."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
