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 program is very stable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"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."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"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."
"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."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"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."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"Implementation could be improved."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"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."
