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 most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"The program is very stable."
"A user-friendly solution."
"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."
"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 best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The product has helped our organization with in-depth monitoring."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"The product’s auto-remediation feature helps with automation."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"The observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"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 UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"The solution’s initial setup is difficult."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"The price could be improved."
"There could be more integration of SIM in the solution."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
