Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"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."
"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 most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"The program is very stable."
"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."
"I've found the solution to be very scalable."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"It is stable."
"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."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"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 cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"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 solution could improve by having better integration."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"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 pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The pricing could be improved."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"What needs improvement in Micro Focus Operations Bridge is its resource heaviness because you need many resources to deploy and support it. It's a good solution for larger organizations, but for small businesses, not so much."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."
