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."
"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 solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"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,"
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"The solution's service map feature allows us to have a holistic overview and to see quickly where the issues are."
"Splunk APM has helped us to standardize logging and monitoring procedures."
"This solution is very quick to deploy as it is a SaaS solution and integrates with tools like ServiceNow."
"Detectors are a powerful feature."
"Splunk's dashboards are great."
"The features are pretty much ready out of the box."
"The volume it handles is very good, including the number of metrics, the volume number of traces, and more."
"It is a good tool. It allows you to set alerts for application and infrastructure monitoring, and it allows you to create dashboards."
"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 cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"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."
"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 enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"The cardinality is pretty low."
"We currently lack log analysis capabilities in Splunk APM."
"Splunk APM's performance could be improved - at the moment, it's very slow and takes forever to give me what I want."
"The UI enhancements could be a way to improve the solution in the future."
"I've been using the Splunk query language, and it can be a bit time-consuming to set up the queries I need."
"Splunk APM should include a better correlation between resources and infrastructure monitoring."
"The licensing model is expensive. We need to monitor the amount of data ingested because the cost is based on the data collected."
