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.

Senior Software Engineer at Infosys
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

"incident.io has positively impacted my organization by helping with incident resolution and reducing time in incident management."
"Having an automated workflow feature in incident.io has helped me reduce human error significantly."
"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 has positively impacted our organization by accelerating incident response and reducing MTTR by up to 27%, and we are also integrating AI and ML into PagerDuty Operations Cloud."
"After implementing PagerDuty Operations Cloud's runbook automation, I have reduced the response time from over 20 minutes to less than two minutes, saving approximately 80 to 90 percent of the time and making mean time to resolve significantly faster."
"Afterwards, we didn't want to get rid of it."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been highly beneficial, preventing numerous outages through prompt response and incident alerting capabilities, demonstrating significant ROI."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud is the best tool available, and I can confidently say it is the best tool for all aspects, not just incident management or escalation, but for all analytical functions as well."
"Because of the alert mechanism, our support technicians are prompted about support cases at risk."
"Alert deduplication and noise reduction for alerts are the major features that I found useful."
"PagerDuty has replaced that ability to contact somebody in case of emergency without fail."
 

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."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud can be improved by being more sequenced in terms of adapting into the incident life cycle."
"PagerDuty should be integrated with other tools, so it can import the IT roster automatically. Our other rules continue to work once they're configured, but the roster must be added manually."
"One suggestion for improving PagerDuty Operations Cloud is to provide more insights about incidents, such as root cause analysis or additional information, which could assist SRE teams in reducing remediation time and incident detection before jumping on a call."
"I have observed that MTTR is very slow, and wrong escalation sometimes routes alerts to the wrong team rather than the proper team."
"One area for improvement in PagerDuty Operations Cloud is the unpredictable costs that can cause issues in our organization and project complexity, along with the occasional perception of an outdated user interface by non-tech personnel."
"They could include incident merging and alert grouping features in the product."
"The product can be improved by including out-of-the-box integration with other standard tools used in our fields such as Confluence, and Jira."
"I think an area of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that could be improved is their premium pricing, as it compares unfavorably with competitors such as Atlassian's Opsgenie and ServiceNow, which offer bundle deals, plus DataDog now has incident management capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."
"The price is very high."
"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."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
