We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

Cons
"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."

More BigPanda Cons →

"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."

    Overview

    BigPanda Autonomous Operations platform is a cutting-edge solution that helps IT Ops, NOC and DevOps teams detect, investigate, and resolve IT incidents faster and more easily than ever before. Powered by Open Box Machine Learning, BigPanda correlates IT noise into insights, automates incident management, and unifies fragmented IT operations.

    BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations platform increases the ease with which IT administrators are able to both manage their systems and respond to issues that arise. It combines machine learning and automation, which not only provide administrators with reliable suggestions concerning future issues that may arise, but also allows for certain tasks to be assigned to the system itself. These allow organizations to save both time and resources that can be dedicated to more critical tasks.

    BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations platform possesses a simplified and unified user interface, enabling users to manage the solution from one place. The UI allows users to view and manage all of the information and controls that IT teams need to be able to easily access, providing a level of visibility that ensures users will be able to view all of their system’s most up-to-date and critical information at any time that they wish.

    Benefits of BigPanda Autonomous Operations Platform

    Some the benefits of using BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations platform include:

    • The ability to autonomously detect and respond to IT issues. BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations software autonomously searches for and detects issues. When found, its level-zero feature can then handle elementary tasks such as threat prioritization, which would otherwise require a dedicated team to handle. The solution can be adapted to meet your organization’s specific requirements.
    • The ability to receive new threat suggestions based on historical data. Armed with this knowledge, BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations’s machine learning algorithm makes reliable predictions of issues that might come up in the future.
    • The ability to manage BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations platform and view both real-time and historical data from a single interface. BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations platform UI is a centralized location where all levels of your organization’s IT teams can view system data and manage situations that may arise. The data displayed on this interface is always up-to-date. IT teams have the latest relevant information available to them at all times without having to conduct a search.

    Reviews from Real Users

    BigPanda’s Autonomous Operations platform stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its centralized user interface and its ability to easily integrate with other security solutions. The centralized UI gives users the ability to clearly see all their alert data in a single location without having to search for it. Its easy integration allows administrators to augment their IT security capabilities when they find it necessary to do so.

    PeerSpot user Larry C., the principal engineer in charge of site operations for a tech vendor, notes this benefit when he writes, "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."

    Another PeerSpot user, who is an independent entrepreneur in the IT environment at a tech services company, notes the flexibility of this platform when they write “BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard.”
