Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 2, 2025

BigPanda and Opsgenie are competing in the incident management and alerting space. BigPanda seems to have an advantage with its smart alert management features, while Opsgenie offers strong integration flexibility, making it suitable for diverse IT environments.

Features: BigPanda offers machine learning capabilities, smart alert correlation, and a user-friendly interface for quick incident response. Opsgenie provides real-time alerts, extensive third-party integrations, and on-call management with both SMS and app notifications for seamless communication and collaboration.

Room for Improvement: BigPanda could improve its integration options and onboarding experiences to match Opsgenie's flexibility. Enhancing API capabilities and expanding its support for various IT environments might also be beneficial. Opsgenie could enhance its alert processing capabilities, provide more customization options for notifications, and improve user interface intuitiveness to support more complex incident workflows.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BigPanda offers a straightforward deployment process with comprehensive documentation, focusing on personalized customer service. Opsgenie's deployment benefits from Atlassian's ecosystem, which eases integration efforts. However, it relies on a larger support network, which can lead to less personalized service.

Pricing and ROI: BigPanda has a higher pricing structure reflecting its advanced capabilities but offers a significant ROI for prioritizing operational efficiency. Opsgenie provides a more accessible pricing model, attractive for small and medium enterprises, delivering ROI through improved team communication and reduced downtime.

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

"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."

"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 is great in that it notifies us of problems as well as where they were triggered."

"BigPanda is an endpoint protection solution against ransomware."

"BigPanda simplifies the process by consolidating multiple monitoring platforms into a single console where I can view all issues."

"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"

More BigPanda pros

"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."

"Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."

"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."

"The solution has helped us stay alert on incidents and improved our response times."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert."

"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."

"One of the features my team found valuable in Opsgenie is the alert. There's also the option to install an app on your phone, so even if you don't have any mobile reception, but you're still connected to WiFi, you still get the alerts via the app, not just via phone call or SMS. The combination of both options was very useful because sometimes you have data and you don't have coverage by mobile, or vice versa. To have both options in terms of receiving alerts was very useful. Another valuable feature of Opsgenie is the on-call rotation with alerts. I belonged to a small team of three, then the team expanded into four members where everyone was on a weekly on-call basis, with each team member having a week of being on-call. At first, it was a bi-weekly on-call rotation, then it became once every three weeks, and after that, it was once every four weeks, so the on-call rotation with an alert feature was useful. My previous company had two separate environments, on the cloud and on-premises. My team was in charge of the on-premise environment, so there was a queue for my team with everything in Opsgenie, then the DevOps team had its queue on a group of infrastructure related to the cloud. Each team had its own devices organized in a group that was only managed per team. The on-call rotation was also separated between groups. Opsgenie is a very convenient solution for both teams in my previous company."

"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."

More Opsgenie pros

Cons

"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 AI, in particular, was worthless, and the visualization is primitive and not configurable."

"When handling critical traffic, the BigPanda site can slow down, which we manage with a load balancer."

"We had to use a partner for the deployment."

"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."

"In terms of product stability, I can rate it around nine. It is quite good, though I would not rate it a full ten because every time there is a new feature, I have to go through documents or contact support."

"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."

More BigPanda cons

"I would like to see reports that can provide us with integration with Jira or with another management solution, which I'm not sure Opsgenie provides. The integration is possible, however as Opsgenie reports is an area that needs to be addressed. An alert is received, and Opsgenie will immediately generate a ticket or card for that issue, track it, and provide a follow-up. Opsgenie will also track an issue's whole life cycle. This is something that I would like to see in Opsgenie."

"In a future release, we would like to receive alerts when a specific threshold is reached and to escalate the reason for that alert."

"They could introduce many more features, which we believe is on their roadmap."

"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. There are lots of limitations in the cloud version The add-on or features that work with the Data Center versions are not compatible with the cloud version."

"It should have a lot of plugins. It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now. It should have AWS, Azure, and Google cloud integrations. It should also provide automation, that is, it should open somewhere, like orchestration. Something like the orchestration that ServiceNow is doing. That would be great. Orchestration is the main thing. If OpsGenie comes with stack down feature, not completely but some part of it, and orchestration is there, that would be beneficial."

"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."

"The handshake with the monitoring tools can also be improved. When there were a bunch of alerts or the number of alerts was more than a thousand in a minute, OpsGenie wasn't able to handle everything properly. The handshake issues were there."

"Initially, Opsgenie had bidirectional integration with Jira Service Management, but that functionality has been scaled back. Previously, Opsgenie was adept at managing incidents within its ecosystem, offering seamless ticket transfers between Opsgenie and Jira Service Desk. I valued the ability to push tickets between the two platforms, addressing the need for widespread information accessibility, though it sometimes led to duplication. My suggestion would be to reintroduce complete ticket funneling between these systems to streamline operations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay $200,000 USD per year."

"They were great to work with on pricing/licensing. Given we are a high-growth company, we needed a flexible site license."

"The price of BigPanda is in the middle compared to other solutions."

"BigPanda is cheaper than the competitors."

"The pricing is fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."

"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."

"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."

"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."

"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."

"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."

"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."

"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."
