We performed a comparison between BigPanda and PagerDuty Operations Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Alerting and Incident Management 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."
"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."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"The solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"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."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"The program is very stable."
"The product has valuable on-call scheduling, escalation, and incident workflow management features."
"The initial setup is a simple process."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it adds each alert as a service, has good scheduling capabilities, and includes the ability to write logic based on texts."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"A cool feature is that it helps us to understand the flow of the alert. If the alert was coming to the current on-call and he didn't catch the call or didn't notice it for any reason, it starts being escalated automatically, according to the escalation schedule, or to other teammates. You can see the flow very easily on your phone or via the website, if you want to do a post-mortem."
"Alert deduplication and noise reduction for alerts are the major features that I found useful."
"The alerts are immediate in this solution, which allows us to respond to errors quickly."
"Notification is the most valuable feature."
"The observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"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."
"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."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"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."
"PagerDuty could improve the event orchestration by enhancing features, such as easier condition setup inside the orchestration."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"This solution works best in conjunction with a proper logging system, which can be an additional cost to organizations."
"Something that needs to be improved, is adding multilingual support."
"PagerDuty's webhooks need some improvement."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"The solution's analytics are okay. I don't think the features, at this point, give you a lot of insights. We have actually been trying to get insights from it but it hasn't really given us a lot of extra points to explore. We were looking at the number of alerts to see where many of the alerts were coming from. We never managed to get many insights on this."
"I would like to see more content in the notification messages; although, that might be a configuration on our end."
