Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"The program is very stable."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"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."
"A user-friendly solution."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"There are lots of free learning materials on their website."
"It has helped us look at modern technology, as well as penetrate our legacy systems, to see where the bottlenecks are."
"There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed."
"The initial setup is really straightforward. It's one of the easiest installations."
"I like the ease with which dashboards can be created."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later."
"It definitely does help with both auditing and as well as regular monitoring. SOC does more monitoring, but ES also gives you other features that are auditing-related. The dashboards are also beneficial."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"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."
"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."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"When we do a rollout from the server or host or anything, we'd like to see more automation. It would save us time."
"Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security."
"It requires a significant amount of relatively complex architecture once you push past the single server instance."
"We will receive alerts only for the administrators and deployment servers, but not for all servers."
"There is improvement needed when importing from some types of data sources."
"Free-floating panels in the dashboards are like a glass table."
