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."BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"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 main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user 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."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."
"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."
"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"The solution is quite mature and very stable."
"Zabbix is an excellent performance monitoring tool."
"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"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 UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"It should be easy to modify the front end."
"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."
"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Sometimes, the documentation is a little bit written in Estonia – a country in Europe. The language barrier and translation to English can sometimes make it difficult to understand what they're trying to get at. It's just a language thing."
"I had problems using Zabbix when working with SUSE Enterprise; many companies use SUSE."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
