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.

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

"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 is easy to configure and use."

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

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

"That clarity, visibility, scheduling, and the management of on-call schedules, as well as tracking SLA breaches and workload, are key reasons to utilize Opsgenie."

"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 integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."

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

More Opsgenie pros

"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."

"With one solution, we are able to do the triaging, and that definitely reduced the outage window and the average outage window."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been highly beneficial, preventing numerous outages through prompt response and incident alerting capabilities, demonstrating significant ROI."

"It's improved our organization by making the on-call lifestyle less stressful."

"PagerDuty is of central importance to the continued smooth function of my company and its IT-related infrastructure and applications."

"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."

"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."

"It allows us to provide better customer support."

More PagerDuty Operations Cloud pros

Cons

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

"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."

"We are using the cloud version of Atlassian products now, but I think the Data Center version we used earlier was much more user-friendly. There are lots of limitations in the cloud version The add-on or features that work with the Data Center versions are not compatible with the cloud version."

"The user interface could be improved."

"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."

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

"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."

"When I needed to add the fourth guy to the on-call rotation, I had trouble finding the option in Opsgenie where I can add the new user. It took me some time to figure out because it it was very small. You have a pencil icon that you need to click, but it was so small and in a place that wasn't so obvious, so this is an area for improvement in the solution. I couldn't find the icon myself and my manager had to show me where it is. Opsgenie needs to be more user-friendly, particularly when it comes to finding the "Add New Users" option in the on-call rotation feature. Other than that, the solution was very easy to use, and you can see both the open and closed alerts."

More Opsgenie cons

"They could include incident merging and alert grouping features in the product."

"The pricing for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit expensive, especially for startups like us, compared to the other platform which I mentioned, which is Rootly."

"Something that needs to be improved, is adding multilingual support."

"The only challenge I see is finding the engineer that belongs to the group."

"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."

"More analytics can be brought into PagerDuty Operations Cloud; while I know there are some, they still seem basic to me, and having options for user-customized charts would be really helpful, especially in this GenAI world where prompts can yield valuable data."

"There was agent alert fatigue with more granular root cause analysis that can be done."

"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

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

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

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

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

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"The price is very high."

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

"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."

"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."
