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

"Technical support is unequivocally excellent; in fact, the best customer service and technical support I’ve experienced during my 12 years in IT."
"We took our server provisioning process from about 30 days to about 4 days on the first iteration of implementation."
"PAM has the ability to integrate and build solutions that work well in CA's suite of service management products and those that are outside of service management."
"Before implementing this product, our Problem and Change Management Processes were very poor, but nowadays, thanks to CA Process Automation (PAM), we no longer have this problem, as we now have all of the processes' rules placed inside of it."
"If you’re planning or looking for an application able to create process automation, stop looking."
"CA Process Automation manager is a very powerful production tool."
"The value lies in just being able to automate things such that there's less human interaction and, therefore, more consistency in our automations."
"This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been highly beneficial, preventing numerous outages through prompt response and incident alerting capabilities, demonstrating significant ROI."
"PagerDuty has replaced that ability to contact somebody in case of emergency without fail."
"It is one of the most critical things you can do in your infrastructure, and it is a no-brainer, just do it."
"PagerDuty has allowed us to identify issues and incidents within the infrastructure that we wouldn't have noticed otherwise."
"The product easily integrates with other solutions."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it adds each alert as a service, has good scheduling capabilities, and includes the ability to write logic based on texts."
"It's improved our organization by making the on-call lifestyle less stressful."
"Together, these features help our team respond faster, stay organized during an incident, and reduce service disruptions for our customers."
 

Cons

"It’s very complex, which is one of the disadvantages."
"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
"I'd like to see additional form functionality and having Python as an available common script language."
"A lot of times they don't get resolved, but I'm okay with those kind of responses sometimes."
"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."
"The solution engine is in Java. Regardless of developments, the solution will always be limited to what Java offers."
"Every so often the service needs to be restarted otherwise it runs slower and slower. I think this may be due to a memory leak."
"CA offers minimal public information pertaining to the performance drain the usage of some objects and operators introduce to processing."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be improved by simplifying the configuration of alert rules and escalation policies."
"Even though PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a strong platform, many things can be improved."
"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."
"The platform feels a little complex when setting up advanced routing rules, escalation policies, and integrations."
"In terms of witnessing an ROI, no one has really done that level of due diligence."
"The UI of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is something I dislike. Their UI is kind of unstructured."
"Thank goodness it was not a Severity 1 incident for us, but two days was unacceptable at that point."
"Regarding improvements, there are no major issues, but sometimes it shows low-priority bugs to the team at midnight; prioritizing these alerts would be beneficial so that the team is informed when logging in the next morning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"They're very good in pricing compared to the competitors in the area. I would rate them a five out of five in terms of pricing."
"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."
"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."
"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
"The price is very high."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
