We performed a comparison between BigPanda and Elastic Observability based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"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."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"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."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"The product has connectors to many services."
"Elastic APM has plenty of features, such as the Elastic server for Kibana and many additional plugins. It's a comprehensive tool when used as a logging platform."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"The tool's most valuable feature is centralized logging. Elastic Common Search helps us to search for the logs across the organization."
"The solution is open-source and helps with back-end logging. It is also easy to handle."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"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 cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"The observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"The interface could be improved."
"In the future, Elastic APM needs a portfolio iTool. They can provide an easy way to develop the custom UI for Kibana."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"Elastic Observability needs to improve the retrieval of logs and metrics from all the instances."
"If we had some pre-defined templates for observability that we could start using right away after deploying it – instead of having to build or to change some of the dashboards – that would be helpful."
"More web features could be added to the product."
"The solution needs to use more AI. Once the product onboards AI, users would more effectively be able to track endpoints for specific messages."
