Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO / Co-Founder at Aiops ltd
Automated incident workflows have reduced alert noise and now improve response efficiency
In my opinion, the best feature of BigPanda is its speed in terms of deployment. It has very strong integration with all of the major platforms and workflows that organizations need. The biggest customers are enterprises like HSBC and Barclays. Implementing something effective for them that dramatically reduces meantime to repair and the number of incidents is substantially difficult, as projects can often extend three years with very small results. BigPanda is different; it is a tool relied on by many enterprises, fitting over existing toolsets rather than trying to replace them, which makes it non-competitive to many existing alerts and monitoring tools. It enhances existing systems to provide actionable intelligence for business solutions.

Offers different levels of notification options, including WhatsApp integration
Opsgenie has been most valuable in managing our incident response. We use Opsgenie for on-call management of AWS services, and its integration with CloudWatch has been particularly beneficial. Opsgenie alerts us to anomalies in cloud services, not just incidents but also performance issues like delayed response times or execution errors. So, we will quickly know about the issue, and it allows us to take swift action. It has been very helpful to us. Opsgenie's strength lies in its configurable alerting levels, from first responders to escalation managers. It offers different levels of notification options, including WhatsApp integration, ensuring timely alerts to the relevant team members. We also use the on-call scheduling feature. It is easy to use. The on-call scheduling feature is user-friendly and easily integrates with our existing systems, streamlining schedule management without added complexity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A user-friendly solution."
"BigPanda is great in that it notifies us of problems as well as where they were triggered."
"The event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise."
"I rate BigPanda nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda include event deduplication, correlations, and enrichment, which reduce the noise in the environment."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"BigPanda is different; it is a tool relied on by many enterprises, fitting over existing toolsets rather than trying to replace them, which makes it non-competitive to many existing alerts and monitoring tools."
"I would definitely recommend BigPanda for its time-saving features, root cause analysis, topology overview, and visual event representation capabilities."
"The integration feature is the most valuable. It provides a lot of customizations for the integrations we use."
"Opsgenie has been most valuable in managing our incident response. We use Opsgenie for on-call management of AWS services, and its integration with CloudWatch has been particularly beneficial. Opsgenie alerts us to anomalies in cloud services, not just incidents but also performance issues like delayed response times or execution errors. So, we will quickly know about the issue, and it allows us to take swift action. It has been very helpful to us."
"Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."
"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."
"If you are using Atlassian products, Opsgenie is the best choice because the features are the same and it is bundled with Jira Service Management."
"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."
"Regarding advice, it is a good tool, and the integration is seamless."
"OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets, automation like scripting, and maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how they were resolved previously."
 

Cons

"I am not sure if we can pull reports of bulk incidents in different formats like PDF, Excel, or CSV. This feature would allow us to extract monthly incident reports similar to ServiceNow."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"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 planned maintenance feature in BigPanda needs enhancements due to its limited scheduling options."
"The usability needs to improve because it is a pure code environment."
"BigPanda sometimes creates false incidents and workarounds, causing financial disturbances because we pay for each incident."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."
"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."
"Typically, the alerts are vague at times, and when the automated callers begin reading that alert, it does not make sense to us."
"It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now."
"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."
"When I needed to add the fourth guy to the on-call rotation, I had trouble finding the option in Opsgenie where I can add the new user."
"The user interface could be improved."
"We are using the cloud version of Atlassian products now, but I think the Data Center version we used earlier was much more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They were great to work with on pricing/licensing. Given we are a high-growth company, we needed a flexible site license."
"We pay $200,000 USD per year."
"BigPanda is cheaper than the competitors."
"The price of BigPanda is in the middle compared to other solutions."
"I'm not the person who dealt with Opsgenie in terms of pricing, and I don't know how the solution compares to other solutions in the market, price-wise. I won't be able to say if it gives you the best value for money or not, but if Opsgenie gives good value for money, then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use it."
"The solution's prices are exorbitant."
"The pricing is on the lower side; I would rate it a six out of ten, with ten being low price, which indicates good affordability."
"We have opted for a yearly subscription. The initial quote given was about $29, but I don't know the actual price. There might be some negotiations during renewal."
"In the company I'm working for, currently, we are using the standard edition of Opsgenie. We're paying around $3,000 a month. It's a bit expensive compared to the other tools we use for different purposes. We find it a bit expensive because although Opsgenie is a complete tool for monitoring, it does not provide us with everything."
"I rate Opsgenie eight out of 10 for affordability. Opsgenie is on the cheaper side, and it fits our budget. I estimate the license costs around $400 to 500 annually for 15 users. The price is available on the internet. It's a standard, straightforward price."
"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."
"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."
