We performed a comparison between BigPanda and DX Spectrum 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."One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"A user-friendly solution."
"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."
"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."
"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,"
"The program is very stable."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"It creates transparency and makes everything work by being more transparent."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"It is very stable. We have not had any major issues in over 10 years."
"The most valuable features have been the interface and the ability to do equipment management."
"I have found the cross analysis feature to be the most valuable."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"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."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"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 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 observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"DX Spectrum needs to incorporate faster support."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"DX Spectrum is stable. However, now and then there are some issues, but overall it is good."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"We have had one support issue that's been open for a couple of months, and it is currently open."
"It needs better integration with other CA products."
"It takes some time to learn how to use this solution."
"There should be a facility to integrate with other monitoring applications that are currently running in the environment."
