We performed a comparison between BigPanda and Elastic Observability 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 best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"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."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"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."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The price is very less expensive compared to the other solutions."
"We can view and connect different sources to the dashboard using it."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"For full stack observability, Elastic is the best tool compared with any other tool ."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"The ability to ensure that the data is searchable and maintainable is highly valuable for our purposes."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"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."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"Elastic Observability’s price could be improved."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"The interface could be improved."
"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"The cost must be made more transparent."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
