Manager Observability at ICE
Event management improvements reduce noise and support faster resolution although scheduling features need enhancements
The most valuable features of BigPanda include event deduplication, correlations, and enrichment, which reduce the noise in the environment. It can correlate multiple issues within a single device, create a single incident, and thus reduce noise and provide faster resolution. Furthermore, it offers out-of-the-box integrations with tools like ServiceNow and Teams, allowing auto-sharing on Teams channels. Updates made in Teams can be reflected back into BigPanda.

System Integration Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Provides robust infrastructure monitoring with excellent integrations and alert predictions but needs improved AIOps capabilities
If we treat OpsRamp as an infrastructure monitoring tool, there are many positive aspects. However, when viewed as an AIOps tool, there are numerous potential additions. Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement. They are introducing observability as a feature where metrics, logs, and traces can be implemented, but this is currently in a primitive state that can grow over time. The platform is very stable, and the UI is excellent. However, regarding AIOps features, enhancements could be made to provide more value, such as dynamic thresholding and other capabilities that competitor tools have, such as LogicMonitor.
