Over the past year, BigPanda announced multiple new features to improve the IT incident lifecycle. In July 2023, BigPanda unveiled its Automated Incident Analysis product — a new generative AI capability that provides ITOps teams with fast, accurate, and consistent insights into every incident. In September, the company launched its updated Root Cause Changes feature, which leverages explainable artificial intelligence to correlate incident alerts with infrastructure change data. With these updates, BigPanda can dramatically improve incident root-cause identification and reduce response times by 50%.
