We performed a comparison between BigPanda and Splunk Enterprise Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"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."
"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 event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"The program is very stable."
"The solution is very fast and succinct."
"It is easy to use, and easy to implement."
"We can automatically suspend or terminate suspicious sessions."
"The solution's newly developed dashboard is pretty amazing."
"Splunk Enterprise Security helped us with faster detection of threats."
"The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful, flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"We are using Microsoft 365 and we're using the Exchange Mail Service. It's good for monitoring that in particular."
"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."
"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."
"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 UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"Its user interface for everything other than the charts can be improved. Some parts of it can be simplified a bit, such as when importing documents that have the network traffic. When you're going through the information about the network traffic, you have to have the expertise, but even if a program is supposed to be for IT support, it is good to make it user-friendly because it gets easier to train people. When something goes wrong, the more difficult a program is in terms of UI, the harder it is to fix the issue."
"It will be helpful for customers if they can create some real-world cases, and we can find a case study to align with. I know that Splunk has tremendous potential. We only include a tiny piece of it. There is a lot of stuff that we need to learn. If Splunk can provide more real-time examples, that will be helpful for customers."
"Splunk could be improved by reducing the cost. The cost is one of the biggest challenges for us in keeping to our production requirements."
"It needs more thoroughly tested releases. Every new big version (6, 7, etc.) has had so many bugs that it makes me wary of customers upgrading right away."
"I find that the learning curve for Splunk is relatively lengthy."
"The solution should also have more advanced capabilities in comparison with QRadar, which offers Watson."
"Splunk could have more built-in use case presets that customers can build on and customize."
