Offers different levels of notification options, including WhatsApp integration

Opsgenie has been most valuable in managing our incident response. We use Opsgenie for on-call management of AWS services, and its integration with CloudWatch has been particularly beneficial. Opsgenie alerts us to anomalies in cloud services, not just incidents but also performance issues like delayed response times or execution errors. So, we will quickly know about the issue, and it allows us to take swift action. It has been very helpful to us. Opsgenie's strength lies in its configurable alerting levels, from first responders to escalation managers. It offers different levels of notification options, including WhatsApp integration, ensuring timely alerts to the relevant team members. We also use the on-call scheduling feature. It is easy to use. The on-call scheduling feature is user-friendly and easily integrates with our existing systems, streamlining schedule management without added complexity.

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

"The solution has helped us stay alert on incidents and improved our response times."

"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."

"I am a Jira admin. The best feature for me is that I do not need to write different code when I integrate with multiple applications. OpsGenie made it easier for me. All I need to do is create a field and give a value. I need to set the parameters and give a value. I can write only one script so that it directly interacts with my Jira and feeds all the data."

"Taking into account that Opsgenie "saved" many devices in our environment from getting overheated, which would have caused a major outage in our HQ offices, I believe the monthly subscription cost was way lower than the return."

"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."

"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."

"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."

"OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets. Automation, like scripting, is also possible. There are also features for maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how it was resolved previously. If there are similar kinds of tickets, we can look at how a person is working on that ticket. If he doesn't have any idea, you can look back at a similar ticket and solve it as the previous person did it."

More Opsgenie pros

"Using PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a very crucial part for us; if we do not use it, we don't know what is happening in the customer's environment."

"The most valuable feature is definitely the flexibility of the schedule. The mobile app is quite also good for what we do: for receiving alerts, acknowledging, assigning, adding new responders. It has rich features for our needs."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted our organization by helping us save a lot of costs, and our responsiveness and actions towards any issues on the platform have improved many folds."

"Just the ability to be able to respond quicker to the issues that are coming up gives the company a better mean times resolution resolution, which is going to improve upon the return on investment for what we spend on PagerDuty."

"The aspect I appreciate most about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is certainly the incident management capabilities."

"PagerDuty helps you bifurcate teams and redirect alerts to specific teams"

"It integrates with multiple applications and is highly customizable, with policies, escalation procedures, and an event routing tool that ensures contacting the right person."

"My advice to others looking into using PagerDuty Operations Cloud is that it is a go-to platform for alert management."

More PagerDuty Operations Cloud pros

Cons

"Typically, the alerts are vague at times, and when the automated callers begin reading that alert, it does not make sense to us."

"It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now."

"I would like to see reports that can provide us with integration with Jira or with another management solution, which I'm not sure Opsgenie provides. The integration is possible, however as Opsgenie reports is an area that needs to be addressed. An alert is received, and Opsgenie will immediately generate a ticket or card for that issue, track it, and provide a follow-up. Opsgenie will also track an issue's whole life cycle. This is something that I would like to see in Opsgenie."

"In a future release, we would like to receive alerts when a specific threshold is reached and to escalate the reason for that alert."

"They could introduce many more features, which we believe is on their roadmap."

"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."

"I would like to see a little bit more work in API key management in the Opsgenie UI. It's a bit difficult to manage sometimes. For example, in terms of management, you can either see all the keys or none of the keys. This is something for which I would like to have better granularity so that I could give some people access to some of the keys. It's something that I don't have today if I'm not mistaken."

"We can't rely on the output that we're getting from the platform."

More Opsgenie cons

"One way PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve is through the scheduling feature, which can be tricky, especially with complex schedules."

"Initially it was a nightmare. There were a lot of bugs and we were getting a lot of alerts, and it was a very messy period."

"Sometimes it hangs and occasionally I am unable to open PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which occurs due to an outage or similar issues."

"Because of the way you have to structure the rosters, if an engineer has to go on leave, you can't just go in and reassign or take this person out of all of the different rosters that they're in."

"I would defiantly like to see more integration with other systems. This would really add some value for us."

"I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud six out of ten because I believe you can add more features to make the platform even better."

"Dynamic scheduling is something I was waiting for almost three or four years."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In the company I'm working for, currently, we are using the standard edition of Opsgenie. We're paying around $3,000 a month. It's a bit expensive compared to the other tools we use for different purposes. We find it a bit expensive because although Opsgenie is a complete tool for monitoring, it does not provide us with everything."

"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."

"I'm not the person who dealt with Opsgenie in terms of pricing, and I don't know how the solution compares to other solutions in the market, price-wise. I won't be able to say if it gives you the best value for money or not, but if Opsgenie gives good value for money, then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use it."

"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."

"I rate Opsgenie eight out of 10 for affordability. Opsgenie is on the cheaper side, and it fits our budget. I estimate the license costs around $400 to 500 annually for 15 users. The price is available on the internet. It's a standard, straightforward price."

"The solution's prices are exorbitant."

"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."

"The pricing is fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

"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..."

"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."

"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
