Hardik Murdia - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at CloudBolt Software
Automated incident workflows have strengthened on-call ownership but still need broader capabilities
I would like to see incident.io improved in terms of maturity, as it is not a complete solution at the moment. It narrowly focuses solely on incident management and lacks the breadth of a platform such as PagerDuty, which has a high service catalog encompassing everything from asset management to change management. incident.io is not there yet. It's not so much of a feature request; it's about the niche they're working on. For it to develop further for enterprise-level customers, it needs to transition into more of a platform than just a solution. When it comes to pricing, I have seen a great ROI with incident.io after switching from PagerDuty. However, I must clarify that those ROIs were also met with PagerDuty, meaning it isn't extensive that we are observing. The MTTR trends are something that is sadly missing in incident.io, which we had with PagerDuty. Cost estimations are also lacking. If an incident occurs, for example, seeing high cardinality metrics in production leading to a jump in billing, those estimations can't be done in incident.io while they could be done in PagerDuty. Thus, it feels more of a downgrade for us, but again, every choice has its pros and cons. incident.io is cheaper, and we needed a more economical solution, as simple as that.

Centralized incident response has cut noise, improved morale, and protects revenue every day
PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers robust features including centralized alerting and incident response, on-call scheduling and escalation, automated remediation and runbooks, stakeholder communication during major incidents, and automation capability. Everything has been working exceptionally well with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The features have been excellent. It is a spanning tool that has enabled us to operationalize reliability. Since rolling it out three years ago, we have cut MTTR by 35% and reduced on-call noise by 70% through AIOps correlation. For us, the main value of PagerDuty Operations Cloud lies less in paging and more in coordination, automation, and reducing the operational burden on engineers. Reducing the operational burden has improved morale among our engineers. They have been able to focus on other projects and tasks since they have saved considerable time, and consequently productivity in the organization has greatly improved. We have also seen faster incident response, lower MTTR, reduced alert noise, and decreased on-call burnout. Additionally, automation has reduced manual toil, with approximately 25 of our P2 incidents now being resolved or partially resolved by automation before an engineer touches them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Having an automated workflow feature in incident.io has helped me reduce human error significantly."
"incident.io has positively impacted my organization by helping with incident resolution and reducing time in incident management."
"incident.io made things easy for us as we do not need to sit in front of the system twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to check if our application is up or if something is going wrong, saving a considerable amount of time for the DevOps engineers."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud delivers very high performance when notifying users, especially in high-frequency trading environments where even a second of delay can result in billion or trillion dollar transaction losses."
"Its alerting capabilities, simple user interface, stability and functionality is exactly what we need."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted my organization by being effective in terms of managing the system and in terms of scalability, and a specific outcome that shows how PagerDuty Operations Cloud has helped my organization is that it has improved efficiency and helped in saving a lot of time."
"From my perspective, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is good, with user-friendly features that anyone can quickly learn, including integration processes, on-call management, and escalation policies, and it is a valuable asset for my organization."
"It has scaled well for us."
"Since PagerDuty Operations Cloud has all the data and provides forward-looking resolution steps and information about which team was involved, PagerDuty AI helps us tremendously."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted our organization significantly."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"Thus, it feels more of a downgrade for us, but again, every choice has its pros and cons."
"The AI features are quite expensive pricing-wise, and the pricing should be reduced."
"To improve PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I can mention that we can improve the escalation policies. Nowadays, many people miss the alerts."
"PagerDuty can improve the integration with Terraform."
"There is room for improvement with the time schedule."
"Some of the UX needs some help for better flow of actions - however I can understand the reasoning behind how some of the UI is laid and how you need to go an extra step to trigger actions."
"Our developers noted that integrating incident bots or chatbots created with AI tools occasionally presents challenges with PagerDuty Operations Cloud."
"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 main thing is that sometimes we receive some alerts continuously, which may be noisy."
"It is a very non-customizable product, so you cannot add things like root cause analysis or the classification of incidents based on the area where you are getting more incidents. For example, if you're getting a lot of database issues, that may be an are you want to probe."

"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
