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.
Ramani Happy - PeerSpot reviewer
Dev Ops Engineer at Data Elicit Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The features of BigPanda that have most improved my incident response times include AIOps, correlation pieces, and grouping, which is a big win for us."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"BigPanda is an endpoint protection solution against ransomware."
"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."
"A user-friendly solution."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"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."
"VictorOps has decreased the meantime to acknowledge an incident management process, our developers can be on-call faster when we are using this solution, and we can fix our incidents much quicker."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."
"My VP of Operations is ecstatic about the VictorOps product."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"BigPanda sometimes creates false incidents and workarounds, causing financial disturbances because we pay for each incident."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"Logic Monitor has a slightly different and better version of agentic AI."
"It would be beneficial for BigPanda to offer detailed error descriptions similar to what AppDynamics and ThousandEyes provide."
"When handling critical traffic, the BigPanda site can slow down, which we manage with a load balancer."
"In terms of product stability, I can rate it around nine. It is quite good, though I would not rate it a full ten because every time there is a new feature, I have to go through documents or contact support."
"The solutions were quite useful but not completely stable."
"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."
"We chose to move away from the HP product as far as our monitoring goes and dealing with system-generated alerts, simply because it took too much time and effort to manage the APM platform."
"User management has to be improved and more user types need to be added as there is currently only Admin or User."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
"A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of BigPanda is in the middle compared to other solutions."
"They were great to work with on pricing/licensing. Given we are a high-growth company, we needed a flexible site license."
"BigPanda is cheaper than the competitors."
"We pay $200,000 USD per year."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
