In their own words
BigPanda
BigPanda is a web and API platform using agentic AI for IT operations. It is designed to prevent, detect, and resolve incidents by grouping related alerts into incidents and adding operational and business context. AI agents gather information from changes, service desk activity, historical incidents, and other sources, then summarize incidents and suggest next steps. The platform correlates changes with incidents to help identify change-related causes. It ingests event, alert, change, and topology data and can share incident information with ITSM and chat tools. A self-service REST API supports custom integrations for nearly any data source. Incident capabilities include on-call scheduling, escalation policies, post-incident reviews, stakeholder updates, and ChatOps actions. BigPanda states that data in transit uses TLS 1.2 or higher and sensitive data at rest uses AES-256. It reports annual independent SOC 2 audits and AI security assessments with red-team testing, plus zero data retention when generative AI vendors are used. Critical-issue support is available 24/7; standard support follows regional business hours. Pricing is on request through value-based tiered credit plans starting at 20,000 credits, with a one- to three-year commitment.
