Find out in this report how the two IT Alerting and Incident Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"A user-friendly solution."
"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."
"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."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"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 solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The program is very stable."
"PagerDuty let us set up rosters based on our shifts. We could assign a hierarchy for how the calls should be escalated and the number of times the call will be transferred between people before it is answered. It makes it easy to access an agent via mobile phone."
"The product has valuable on-call scheduling, escalation, and incident workflow management features."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."
"The inbound integrations that PagerDuty provides with most of the DevOps tools are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of PagerDuty is its integration with other tools, such as Amazon AWS, to receive notifications or create automatic instances."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the flexibility of the schedule. The mobile app is quite also good for what we do: for receiving alerts, acknowledging, assigning, adding new responders. It has rich features for our needs."
"It has scaled well for us."
"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 solution could improve by having better integration."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"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."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"Something that needs to be improved, is adding multilingual support."
"PagerDuty should be integrated with other tools, so it can import the IT roster automatically. Our other rules continue to work once they're configured, but the roster must be added manually."
"It’s quite hard to reach the support team."
"It is a very non-customizable product, so you cannot add things like root cause analysis or the classification of incidents based on the area where you are getting more incidents. For example, if you're getting a lot of database issues, that may be an are you want to probe."
"PagerDuty can improve the integration with Terraform."
"I would like to see more content in the notification messages; although, that might be a configuration on our end."
