BigPanda is a technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California.[1] The company's flagship product is an IT systems management platform that aggregates and correlates IT alerts to create high-level IT incidents.[2][3]

History

BigPanda was founded in 2012 by chief executive Assaf Resnick and Elik Eizenberg (vice president of research and development) in Mountain View, California.[3][4] The company remained in stealth mode until October 2014.[5][6] BigPanda also announced that it had raised $7 million in venture capital from Mayfield Fund and Sequoia Capital.[7][8] In October 2015, BigPanda raised an additional $16 million in a Series B funding round led by Battery Ventures, which also included both Mayfield and Sequoia. Scott Tobin of Battery Ventures joined BigPanda's board as part of the investment. As of October 2015, BigPanda's customers include PayPal, Wix, Cisco, Caesars Entertainment, and others.[9][10][11] In May 2016 it was announced that an additional $5 million were added to Series B by the new investor Pelion Venture Partners expanding the funding round to a total of $21 Million.[12]

BigPanda has an office in Tel Aviv.[13]

In September 2019, BigPanda was ranked #36 in the Forbes AI 50 list, a collection of the most promising artificial intelligence companies.[14]

Products

BigPanda's product is software as a service for IT incident management that monitors, analyzes, and correlates machine alerts to create high-level IT incidents.[2][3][5][8] It integrates with monitoring tools, including traditional monitoring systems from Hewlett Packard and IBM along with others like New Relic, AppDynamics, Splunk, Nagios or Zabbix.[2][7][8][15] The platform also integrates with several deployment and configuration management tools like Chef, Ansible, Puppet, and others.[1][5]

It uses clustering algorithms[5] to aggregate data across multiple monitoring systems, normalize them into a single consistent data model, and then compressing multiple alerts into consolidated incidents that are displayed based on their relative importance.[7][15] The software is designed to display only the most important alerts and incidents to specific users based on their preferences using AutoShare rules and outbound sharing channels including Slack, HipChat, JIRA, ServiceNow, email, and SMS.[2][3]
