We performed a comparison between BigPanda and ServiceNow IT Operations Management 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."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 solution is user-friendly and has good performance and certification."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"A user-friendly solution."
"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."
"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 event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"BigPanda integrates well with other solutions, such as WatchGuard,"
"I like the tool's CMBD connection with Discovery. The solution is also flexible."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"It's easy to set up."
"It is easy to use and simple to learn."
"ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"I like the solution due to the fact that it's scalable."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a stable product."
"We had to use a partner for the deployment."
"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."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"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 observability can be enriched with regards to infrastructure and the application-integrated environment. The dashboard and reports could be improved."
"Lacks sufficient dashboard features."
"There are not enough apps in the app store to expand functionality. There should be more made available."
"When it comes to improvements, I think that my colleagues and I often have issues finding the correct screen and the search box does not work as intended."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
"The solution’s licensing cost could be improved."
"The most complaints we have received from our clients are the solution's discovery aspect. I've heard a few concerns from the customers where we have to integrate with a third-party tool to make a full-fledged discovery along with ServiceNow. ServiceNow alone does not do the total capacity of the discovery. The discovery portion of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not in-depth as what the customers are looking for. The information that it gathers from the assets is a little more limited than what other tools provide."
"Service mapping is pretty limited."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
