Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."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 event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"A user-friendly solution."
"I like the fact that Splunk APM makes it easy to connect to the application database and run queries against the data."
"The most valuable feature is dashboard creation."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"Splunk's dashboards are great."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"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."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"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."
"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 monitoring of workloads when using SignalFx could be improved."
"They can improve the flow system and the keyword language. It has predefined keywords, but they can be improved."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"There are some predefined metrics.......we may want to create customized metrics."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"It is essential for the monitoring tool to deliver quick response times when generating analytical reports, instead of prolonged delays."
