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

"I rate BigPanda nine out of ten."

"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."

"BigPanda is an endpoint protection solution against ransomware."

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

"The best of a bad lot was the error message deduping."

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

"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."

More BigPanda pros

"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."

"That clarity, visibility, scheduling, and the management of on-call schedules, as well as tracking SLA breaches and workload, are key reasons to utilize Opsgenie."

"We can rely on the product to organize our schedules. We don't have to think about who will be next on-call. The system already gives us the answer. We don't have to waste time organizing how people are going to be covering each of their rotations. There's also an override option. So, it's easy to reschedule or reorganize our schedules when someone goes on vacation or when someone is on sick leave."

"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."

"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."

"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."

"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."

"Taking into account that Opsgenie "saved" many devices in our environment from getting overheated, which would have caused a major outage in our HQ offices, I believe the monthly subscription cost was way lower than the return."

More Opsgenie pros

Cons

"The solutions were quite useful but not completely stable."

"The cost of this product is too high compared to New Relic."

"BigPanda attempts a little of everything and fails at most."

"The planned maintenance feature in BigPanda needs enhancements due to its limited scheduling options."

"It would be beneficial for BigPanda to offer detailed error descriptions similar to what AppDynamics and ThousandEyes provide."

"We'd like to see additional dashboard features included as part of the solution."

"BigPanda could improve by syncing its threshold settings with Dynatrace to align with users' familiarity."

"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."

More BigPanda cons

"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."

"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."

"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."

"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."

"When I needed to add the fourth guy to the on-call rotation, I had trouble finding the option in Opsgenie where I can add the new user. It took me some time to figure out because it it was very small. You have a pencil icon that you need to click, but it was so small and in a place that wasn't so obvious, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. I couldn't find the icon myself and my manager had to show me where it is. Opsgenie needs to be more user-friendly, particularly when it comes to finding the "Add New Users" option in the on-call rotation feature. Other than that, the solution was very easy to use, and you can see both the open and closed alerts."

"Typically, the alerts are vague at times, and when the automated callers begin reading that alert, it does not make sense to us."

"The installation of other applications is difficult in Opsgenie. I would like to see more flexible reporting methodologies. Scalability and pricing also need to be improved."

"We can't rely on the output that we're getting from the platform."

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."

"BigPanda is cheaper than the competitors."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"The pricing is on the lower side; I would rate it a six out of ten, with ten being low price, which indicates good affordability."

"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."

"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."
