Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."A user-friendly solution."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"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."
"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 main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"It's a very good product overall."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"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."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"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."
"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 initial setup is a little bit complex."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
