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."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 event correlation is really good and it is able to reduce the noise. It is a good tool for anomaly detection."
"The program is very stable."
"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."
"One of the most valuable features of BigPanda is its user-friendly interface."
"The most useful feature has been the AI/ML. The way BigPanda uses the AI/ML is good compared to other SRE tools."
"The most valuable features of BigPanda are the API integration was good. It enables us to do faster onboarding."
"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 allows for good integration with other products."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the ease with which we can set it up at customer sites with our custom Zabbix proxy and tools."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."
"It's a flexible solution."
"The flexibility of this solution is amazing."
"Zabbix can use old data to current data to set the threshold. We can use previous data to set the threshold."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"We have found that Zabbix is more easy to use than other applications."
"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."
"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. 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."
"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."
"The UI for this solution could be improved. It is very hard to find what you are looking for."
"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."
"I would like to remotely connect to the computer, and Zabbix doesn't have this capability."
"The user interface could be a bit better. They could update it a bit."
"The stability could be better."
"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."
"They should open an SSH session from the web interface."
"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."
"The solution needs to add remote features."
"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."
