We performed a comparison between BigPanda and Nagios Core 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."
"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 main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"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."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"We use the product to monitor server applications."
"Nagios Core is stable."
"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."
"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."
"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."
"Provides timely notifications."
"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."
"The most valuable features are the reports and the way it generates the report in a graphical manner."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"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 cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"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."
"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."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"There is room for improvement in the graphics."
"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."
"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."
"Bandwidth monitoring is the pain point for me because Nagios Core does not monitor bandwidth effectively like Cacti does."
"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."
"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."
"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."
"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."
