"BigPanda has helped accelerate our monitoring and alerting capabilities greatly."
What do you like best about BigPanda?

The alert correlation assists our support teams to be able to quickly and easily identify the root cause, allowing them to reduce the overall time to resolution.

What do you dislike about BigPanda?

Like all software, it's not devoid of its issues or bugs. Not to say they have more than any other software out there, but they do have the occasional bug that is run into, and can be a temporary frustration while it gets resolved. (In which BigPanda does work to resolve in a timely fashion)

What problems is BigPanda solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigPanda allows us to correlate events from multiple monitoring systems. This then bridges into a single actionable ticket for our support teams to be able to investigate and work to resolution.

"BigPanda - An Effective and Efficient NOC Monitoring Tool"
What do you like best about BigPanda?

1) BigPanda aggregates data from inbound tools such as Icinga, ThousandEyes, Prometheus, Jira, and others. BigPanda’s machine learning will correlate data into a small number of actionable incidents as they are detected in real-time before they escalate into outages.

2) BigPanda's integration with Outbound Tools such as Slack, WebEx, Teams, JIRA, ServiceNow, etc., automates and streamlines the incident response lifecycle across incident triage, ticketing, and notifications allowing accelerated remediation.

What do you dislike about BigPanda?

1) BigPanda still lacks the feasibility to show the alert count in a particular incident which would be very helpful to NOC and IT Ops in some instances to determine the alert count.

2) BigPanda needs to improve on the Activity Tab front, wherein we can't currently filter between Comments, Incident Sharing and Incident status changes.

What problems is BigPanda solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) BigPanda’s ability to eliminate IT noise, surface the root cause of problems, and automate manual incident management tasks improving MTTR across the organization.

2) BigPanda's Integrations with CMDB provide Event Enrichment details, improving the quality of data fed to BigPanda’s AI/ML algorithms. This leads to

cleansing, preparing and enriching the alert data payload with rich operational and topological context.

"Best Incident Management Workflow"
What do you like best about BigPanda?

BigPanda allows us to unify our incident and alert management. With the included automation, we can escalate issues to the relevant people in a timely fashion.

What do you dislike about BigPanda?

Currently, BigPanda does not display HTML-based email alerts as well as extracting info from HTML-based email alerts. If this is resolved, we don't need to reconfigure existing alerting methods. And in some cases, 3rd party systems only send out HTML-based alerts.

What problems is BigPanda solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigPanda is helping us solve the way we consume all of our alerts systems into a single system and allowing us to work more efficiently. The simplified workflow reduces wasted time.

"Streamlined escalation and workflow processes"
What do you like best about BigPanda?

Correlates data from all monitoring sources. Helps visualize incident progress and timeline. This streamlines our escalation workflow.

What do you dislike about BigPanda?

Not enough user customization. Would like to see some cosmetic changes and or custom alert views. Customizeable short cut buttons for snoozing. Customs filters when displaying incidents.

What problems is BigPanda solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigPanda helped solve the escalation process and workflow by consolidating every alert source then correlating all alerts into separate incidents which allowed us to focus more on the issue rather than waste time finding whom to address the issue.
