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."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 most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"The program is very stable."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"A user-friendly solution."
"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 best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution."
"The correlation search functions that generate all the notables are valuable. That can get pretty complicated, and it handles that pretty well."
"Visualizations are the best way to understand deviation techniques from the norm."
"The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers."
"We were able to create a catalog of dashboards and have a holistic view at all levels. We could understand our business much better. Real-time errors, which were buried in emails before now, surfaced up on dashboards."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"Splunk incorporates a lot of elements that help to reduce security risks. For it to reach certain compliance, we need to have some security insight. Splunk is a very good SIEM, it’s a top solution, but the best feature is its cost of visibility. We have all the most important features to detect vulnerabilities or risks."
"This is a straightforward solution, easy to configure."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"If you monitor too much, you can lose performance on your systems."
"I would like to get visibility into the data pipelines on heavy forwarders and indexers to see exactly their source and the cause of saturation when it occurs. This would help us learn even more about our high use applications."
"While Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features, its cost is high and could be more competitive."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"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."
"More training on PetaData using artificial intelligence techniques to identify the events which are not normal and exceptions that would help the organization identify threats and malware on the go with results."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
"If it could be made available as a service, this would be much better than as a product."
