We performed a comparison between BigPanda and Zabbix 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."A user-friendly solution."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user 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."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"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 best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."
"The product is very stable."
"They've already added extra features, such as noise-canceling and facial recognition, which is great."
"The best thing about Zabbix is the integration and the APIs that are included are very fast"
"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."
"Every new asset placed in the environment can be automatically detected, predicting human failures."
"Simple network monitoring that is easy to install and manage."
"Templates are good. We download them from the official Zabbix site or the community. If the information we need isn't available, we create custom templates based on client requirements."
"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."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"The observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"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."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"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."
"When we have a problem, we have to do a lot of research to solve it."
"The integration of the product is not so easy, especially when it comes to the application database."
"There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"Implementing Zabbix is difficult. I've deployed many solutions over the years, and Zabbix is the hardest to implement. You have to do some development to get it to work with IBM, Micro Focus, or HP products."
"There are some features of Zabbix that are not good for reporting. The DX Spectrum solution has better reporting."
"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
