Overview

BigPanda develops AI-driven AIOps software that analyzes observability and monitoring data to prevent corporate network outages by correlating events, automating incident response (including ticketing), and recommending fixes. The platform can optionally connect to third-party runbook automation tools to run automated workflows and provides analytics to track incident trends and measure progress toward goals.

Revenue remains under $100 million with an approximately 80% gross margin, and its valuation is reported at $1.2 billion. Part of the new capital will be used for hiring; BigPanda plans to finish 2022 with over 350 employees, up from 330. It competes in AIOps with vendors such as ScienceLogic, Coiled, OpsRamp and larger entrants like New Relic and ServiceNow.
