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.

Automated incident workflows have transformed on-call operations and improved response times

Since I host our internal services, I want more customization relating to our specific use case. The needed improvements include the configuration process, as new team members face a steep learning curve to understand the platform. With many new members, they need training to set up runbook workflows, event orchestration, and manage complex on-call schedules across 23 services, making it a challenge for new users. Additionally, I feel the web interface requires improvements. I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud as eight out of ten because the cons include a complex configuration process and high costs for each add-on that I try to obtain, making subscriptions costly, along with limited customization in certain incident workflows. The primary reasons for rating it an eight include the complex configuration which makes it challenging for new users, as well as their difficulty in setting up advanced runbook workflows and managing complex on-call setups. The web user interface also requires improvement. Although I receive alerts via the mobile app, which is beneficial for handling schedule maintenance, the same features should be added to the web interface. Customization issues persist, such as the inability to clone entire schedules as part of the workflows, and I want to keep incidents open for a specified duration, neither of which I can currently customize. Thus, I raised a ticket with PagerDuty Operations Cloud to address these concerns. Furthermore, the cost is high, making it one of the more expensive incident management solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can rely on the product to organize our schedules. We don't have to think about who will be next on-call. The system already gives us the answer. We don't have to waste time organizing how people are going to be covering each of their rotations. There's also an override option. So, it's easy to reschedule or reorganize our schedules when someone goes on vacation or when someone is on sick leave."

"One of the reasons for implementing OpsGenie was to have a completely automated system where there is no need to monitor and call someone if something breaks down."

"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."

"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."

"The product is integrated into almost all services, including Grafana, AWS, and others."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert."

"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."

"Regarding advice, it is a good tool, and the integration is seamless."

More Opsgenie pros

"It is a great product for routing tickets and alerts, so it saves invaluable time."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud's alert reduction feature has significantly impacted my organization, preventing approximately ninety to ninety-five percent of critical incidents from occurring."

"PagerDuty has allowed us to identify issues and incidents within the infrastructure that we wouldn't have noticed otherwise."

"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to be immediately paged when a system or service is down, enabling us to quickly respond and provide updates to the organization on issues and their resolution."

"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."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted my organization by reducing the number of alerts from 60,000 alerts to every 22 alerts to one meaningful event."

"PagerDuty integrates well with many other monitoring applications, it provides us with a centralized view of what can be configured in terms of escalations, and who's on call."

More PagerDuty Operations Cloud pros

Cons

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

"It should have a lot of plugins. It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now. It should have AWS, Azure, and Google cloud integrations. It should also provide automation, that is, it should open somewhere, like orchestration. Something like the orchestration that ServiceNow is doing. That would be great. Orchestration is the main thing. If OpsGenie comes with stack down feature, not completely but some part of it, and orchestration is there, that would be beneficial."

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

"Initially, Opsgenie had bidirectional integration with Jira Service Management, but that functionality has been scaled back. Previously, Opsgenie was adept at managing incidents within its ecosystem, offering seamless ticket transfers between Opsgenie and Jira Service Desk. I valued the ability to push tickets between the two platforms, addressing the need for widespread information accessibility, though it sometimes led to duplication. My suggestion would be to reintroduce complete ticket funneling between these systems to streamline operations."

"The installation of other applications is difficult in Opsgenie. I would like to see more flexible reporting methodologies. Scalability and pricing also need to be improved."

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

"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."

"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."

More Opsgenie cons

"If I can avoid the 2 AM phone calls that would be perfect but I know that's not possible."

"The solution does not code all alerts correctly so sometimes you get false positives or multiple alerts for the same issue."

"Even though PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a strong platform, many things can be improved."

"I would like to see more content in the notification messages; although, that might be a configuration on our end."

"One area where I believe improvement can be made is reporting and dashboard customization to make it more user-friendly."

"The solution's analytics are okay. I don't think the features, at this point, give you a lot of insights."

"The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for teams managing multiple services, escalation policies, and integrations."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have opted for a yearly subscription. The initial quote given was about $29, but I don't know the actual price. There might be some negotiations during renewal."

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

"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."

"The pricing is on the lower side; I would rate it a six out of ten, with ten being low price, which indicates good affordability."

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

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

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

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"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."

"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."

"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."

"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."

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

"The price is very high."

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

"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
