Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"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."
"The program is very stable."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"It is stable."
"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"The observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"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 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."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Implementation could be improved."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
