"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"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 solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"A user-friendly solution."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"They have great integration with the active directory."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"It takes a lot of the headache out of managing your data centers and software in other places."
"The solution primarily drives system information, and I believe it works fine."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"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 observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"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."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like more customized reports. People should have some customization option on the dashboards for whenever they put multiple lists into it. Beyond customizing the content, there should be the ability to customize the colors so that they can engage some priority and mark challenges separately."
"It lacks certain details that other products do better, like granular access and better application monitoring."
