Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in IT Infrastructure Monitoring."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."
"Alert aggregation was the primary requirement. BigPanda pulls all this together into a single UI for us, allowing us to see related alerts grouped together into an incident, and enables us to easily create a JIRA ticket and Slack channel to manage an issue."
"The main thing that we like about BigPanda is the user interface."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"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 program is very stable."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
"It is very simple to tweak or write a small piece of glue code to go ahead and create a new dashboard for a business unit to make near real-time decisions to focus more on other geographies when launching the product."
"The logs on the solution are excellent."
"It has the ability to correlate data, analyze and review it."
"The ability to analyze huge amounts of sales data and accurate prediction of sales forecasting is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."
"Splunk has a wide range of features that customers use to find and analyze all kinds of logs."
"Splunk's schema on demand is incredibly useful. I do not have to worry about what my users will need when we onboard their data."
"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."
"The usability needs to improve, because it is a pure code environment."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"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 solution could improve by having better integration."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"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."
"Splunk could improve its default machine-learning models. Also, Splunk Enterprise's native threat intelligence isn't that good. I prefer a custom threat intelligence model."
". Having a trial version or more training on Splunk would be helpful."
"The case management area of the ES could be improved. The ability to move cases through various stages and states. The ability to close a case would be key improvement."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"Splunk has a steeper learning curve, making it feel less user-friendly."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"Writing queries is a bit complicated sometimes."
"Its interface and usability can always be improved."
