    If the organization has a proper CMDB asset record then BigPanda features can be utilized to their true potential as it has alert correlation capability. The alert can be redirected to the proper support team using the auto-share feature. This wouldn't be the case where asset records are not updated and the Operations have to manually assign the alerts to support groups.

    Setting up the Grafana OnCall configuration is from the UI is a little bit complex, you need to create an integration, from there an escalation chain ann after that you need to change the template for the notificaion. Also the documentation is not entirely clear, particularly the section on provisioning with Terraform, because production stack is provisioned with infra structure as code.

    setting up the Grafana OnCall functionality is complex but if you setup this and you know how to setup then the rest is easy. IAC is provided with terraform The UI for the alert groups shows the alerts in one view and from there you can go to the relevant alert trigger to solve the problems.

    TrueSight didn't provide many customization options. The features provided were primitive as compared to BigPanda. TrueSight was being used just for alert visibility and assignment to a proper support group from a single console. Although Moogsoft had similar features as compared to BigPanda, the user administration and ease of use were a bit complicated. BigPanda provides a much simpler user interface.

    Unlike Grafana OnCall tool Splunk On-Call solution looks more complicated and noticeably inferior in the visualization of the information presented (UI is not user friendly). Alerts re-route process looks totally illogical and you need some time to get with it. However Splunk On-Call looks more featurable out-of-box and has iOS and Android apps while Grafana OnCall provides a general dashboard apps only.
