Automated recovery has minimized downtime and supports seamless multi‑datacenter failover
Beyond pricing, there are areas where I would like to see InfoScale improved or enhanced. Veritas offers three management approaches. The first, which Veritas currently recommends, is Veritas Operation Manager. The second is the Cluster Manager Java Console graphical interface. The Cluster Manager Java Console has not been revised since version 6.1 or 6.2. This tool was critical for me, particularly valuable when managing small cluster footprints of 20 to 30 server nodes. I relied heavily on this tool, but Veritas has moved away from it in favor of Operation Manager. I recommend Veritas continue evolving this tool rather than discarding it. The third approach is the command line, suitable for individuals with extensive Veritas expertise and experience, but command line use in live environments consumed excessive time, leading me to prefer the graphical interface. Apart from pricing, I have not discovered disadvantages. The product is excellent. My concern is Veritas discarding the Cluster Manager Java Console in favor of Veritas Operation Manager. Setting up Operation Manager requires time and a dedicated server that runs continuously. I had to create a single server just for Veritas Operation Manager. While this works well for larger environments with hundreds of clusters, it is less useful for smaller deployments. I still recommend Veritas reconsider this application and evolve it by incorporating new features from Veritas Operation Manager. Adding these new features to the Java console would be beneficial because that tool runs on my laptop without consuming environment resources, and I can connect directly to clusters from my laptop. I am not opposing Veritas Operation Manager, which is excellent and resembles hardware management consoles for power machines, but smaller tools that previously performed these tasks should remain as options to provide clients with greater ease. From a features and functionality perspective, I do not find missing features in InfoScale at this moment. However, I am not actively using Veritas, managing only legacy machines on older hardware. I am upgrading operating systems but not Veritas due to contract expiration and end-of-life status. The contract is not being renewed because the customer wants to move away. Since I have not logged into VCS since 2021 and transferred responsibilities to another team, I am unaware of features arriving in version 8 or beyond and cannot comment specifically on recent Veritas introductions.

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

"It offers High Availability for many applications, including Oracle and SAP environment."
"In a live incident scenario, the data replication process occurs in real-time, and compared to other products, this data replication feature works effectively, ensuring data availability, and we can implement this scenario using Veritas Volume Replication (VVR), which is the most usable feature in InfoScale for data replication."
"Over the last two years, we did not experience any application failover or receive alerts due to the immediate switchover mechanism in active-active mode that ensures no downtime, helping us significantly with confidence and trust in our organization."
"The best feature is that it supports high availability and automatic failover, which minimizes downtime and helps the environment reduce downtime and improve high availability for critical applications."
"It's a stable solution."
"The best feature in InfoScale is the file system, which is the greatest feature as you can get any storage LUN from any hardware because it's software-defined and create a volume that can consist of storage from two or more different vendors, which avoids any vendor lock-in and makes it easier when you expand as time goes."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"InfoScale's ability to maintain data integrity and availability during a cyber event such as a ransomware attack is excellent."
"The alerts are immediate in this solution, which allows us to respond to errors quickly."
"All of our on-call hand-offs are now fully automated with the scheduling system inside PagerDuty."
"The aspect I appreciate most about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is certainly the incident management capabilities."
"I see PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a very good incident management and on-call platform, mostly used by large-scale organizations because it comes with premium pricing, but it is very reliable with alerting and on-call scheduling, triggering incidents, escalation policies, rules, and runbooks."
"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."
"The inbound integrations that PagerDuty provides with most of the DevOps tools are valuable."
"With PagerDuty Operations Cloud's alert reduction feature, I have noticed that it helped me prevent costly incidents in my organization."
"Many customization, AI features, and automatic features are really making my work easy, and being a Major Incident Manager of my team, resolving P1 and P2 incidents quickly and on time, PagerDuty Operations Cloud really helps me a lot to deal with it."
 

Cons

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that pricing is a little higher and should be reduced since most companies cannot afford it."
"While InfoScale is mainly used by enterprise-level customers, it does not inherently support many applications, which presents a scalability issue."
"It could be more stable and more secure."
"The primary concern is licensing cost, as the customer is unwilling to invest further and has begun cost-cutting measures."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is a bit expensive, but rather than that, because it is used in critical environments with no competitor, most of the customers go for it anyways."
"Many customers can see the benefits of InfoScale, but they are usually not able to buy the products and solutions because of the licensing costs."
"It's very difficult to implement."
"Based on my experience with support, I would rate them a nine, only because occasionally the first person I talk to does not know more than I do and it needs to be escalated to reach someone more knowledgeable."
"I rate the platform an 8 out of 10 because, as mentioned, there could be better ways of creating incidents or using a phone number to contact someone who is on call."
"I would like to see more content in the notification messages; although, that might be a configuration on our end."
"I would like the UI to be more intuitive. I would like to be able to group or color-code the discoveries. When you create a system, you have a listing of all the different configurations. You can list them by teams, but some additional color coding would be helpful. I would break it down by incident controls. In other words, it should be broken down it into response teams and engineering divisions."
"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."
"I think PagerDuty Operations Cloud can be improved cost-wise as it is a bit high when compared with Opsgenie services that are offered by Jira, so I think if you can manage that part it will be good."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"The On-Call Teams feature could be better in terms of levels of conditions related to which team or member should get the responsibility of handling a matter or incident."
"This solution works best in conjunction with a proper logging system, which can be an additional cost to organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our clients pay for licensing on a yearly basis."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"The price is very high."
"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."
"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 quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."
"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
