We performed a comparison between BigPanda and Zabbix 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 valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"A user-friendly solution."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"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."
"The program is very stable."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"Our customers also like that they don't have to use multiple modules. Micro Focus and major vendors typically require you to buy several modules and plugins. Our customers do not like that. We offer them a single product for all their monitoring needs."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"The solution is open-source, easy to manage, and user-friendly making it easy for anyone to use."
"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"We detect problems before the customer does and before it actually happens using the predictive functions in Zabbix."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"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 usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"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."
"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."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."
"The product delivers false positives during reporting because of flapping. Other reasonably priced alternatives may have better performance."
"I would like to better be able to monitor Oracle processes."
"Zabbix isn't very good at automation just yet."
