Unified incident response has reduced alert noise and improves on-call focus and coordination
PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its noise reduction by making deduplication and suppression more automated instead of manually tuned, and the service dependency graph could be more intuitive with cleaner visuals and easier-to-understand root cause tracing during major incidents. Automation could go further with smarter runbook triggers and AI-driven suggestions to help find root causes, which could save a lot of time for engineers who are struggling to understand what is actually happening. These AI capabilities could lower the time by maybe 50–60%. Analytics and reporting could be more flexible, allowing custom dashboards and filters and team-level MTTA and MTTR breakdowns, so that it is segregated based on teams and it is much easier to have custom dashboards for the teams to understand more. Alert storms were a recurring frustration for the on-call team, and escalation overrides and service dependency graphs can get a bit confusing in larger environments. More customizable analytics and smarter automation would make the platform even easier, more flexible and more powerful for the team to understand. PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its analytics flexibility with customized dashboards and AI capabilities to be more trained and more reliable. Service dependency mapping can also feel cluttered in big environments, making it harder to trace upstream and downstream impacts during bigger incidents. We implemented PagerDuty Operations Cloud's AI to help with alert grouping and early incident insights, but accuracy was not consistent enough to rely on during critical events. It occasionally grouped unrelated alerts or missed correlations, which limited the operational efficiency gains we expected. The on-call team still depended heavily on manual triage because AI suggestions were not always aligned with the real root cause. Overall, AI added some value but it has not yet reached the reliability needed to significantly improve the incident response efficiency. It needs more training or more work.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"It is a great product that is powerful in developing applications."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"When there is heavy customization in the process Bonita is the best compare to other products in the market."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"Bonitasoft helped us automate complicated and labor intensive processes"
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud handles this process perfectly, and we do not miss any alerts because of this system."
"The impact of PagerDuty Operations Cloud's alert reduction feature on our organization helps determine which incidents are business-critical, the impacted services, which teams should respond first, and what customer business impacts exist, focusing on the prioritization of critical incidents, enabling faster incident responses and reducing alert noise for better business visibility."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps us find bugs much faster, which means our users see fewer broken pages and it removes the stress of waiting for customer complaints."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers excellent features including the alert system and automated incident escalation capability, which is effective for routing issues to the right team through mobile notifications, SMS, or phone calls."
"PagerDuty's best features are the dedicated application that allows me to reach my engineers immediately and the ability to directly assign specific tasks to individuals and have them report back."
"Having an automated system to get the right person out of bed when required is priceless."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted our organization by ensuring that our banking applications, which operate 24/7, remain functional and efficient, contributing to better service availability."
"It has scaled well for us."
 

Cons

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"The community edition has limited module functionality."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"That said, creating custom connectors for 3rd party applications and APIs is still a challenging task."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"There is room for improvement with the time schedule. The way the schedule currently works is you assign all the team members in one schedule and it automatically spreads them around throughout the schedule... It would be better to be able to edit the schedule and place my team members where I want, or at least to have that option in addition to the automatic process."
"The solution does not code all alerts correctly so sometimes you get false positives or multiple alerts for the same issue."
"PagerDuty could improve the event orchestration by enhancing features, such as easier condition setup inside the orchestration."
"There is room for improvement with the time schedule."
"I have faced outages and latency in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, including notification delays, web dashboard issues, and majorly API integration failures, along with mobile notification problems such as latency and missed pushes, especially affecting specific regional users."
"I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud as eight out of ten because the cons include a complex configuration process and high costs for each add-on that I try to obtain, making subscriptions costly, along with limited customization in certain incident workflows."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud can be improved by being more sequenced in terms of adapting into the incident life cycle."
"I’d like to see some kind of supervising element, the functionality to resolve and allow people to be alerted for supervisors. I don’t think that they are going to address this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price is very high."
"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"If we wanted phone calls or additional SMSs, we would have to pitch up for those. They give us so many per month per user, then we have to pay extra if it goes over that."
"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
