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

"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 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 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 integration feature is the most valuable. It provides a lot of customizations for the integrations we use."

"One of the features my team found valuable in Opsgenie is the alert. There's also the option to install an app on your phone, so even if you don't have any mobile reception, but you're still connected to WiFi, you still get the alerts via the app, not just via phone call or SMS. The combination of both options was very useful because sometimes you have data and you don't have coverage by mobile, or vice versa. To have both options in terms of receiving alerts was very useful. Another valuable feature of Opsgenie is the on-call rotation with alerts. I belonged to a small team of three, then the team expanded into four members where everyone was on a weekly on-call basis, with each team member having a week of being on-call. At first, it was a bi-weekly on-call rotation, then it became once every three weeks, and after that, it was once every four weeks, so the on-call rotation with an alert feature was useful. My previous company had two separate environments, on the cloud and on-premises. My team was in charge of the on-premise environment, so there was a queue for my team with everything in Opsgenie, then the DevOps team had its queue on a group of infrastructure related to the cloud. Each team had its own devices organized in a group that was only managed per team. The on-call rotation was also separated between groups. Opsgenie is a very convenient solution for both teams in my previous company."

More Opsgenie pros

"We have seen a positive return on investment from PagerDuty Operations Cloud through improved operational efficiencies, faster incident response, and reduced downtime."

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

"The most valuable feature of PagerDuty is its integration with other tools, such as Amazon AWS, to receive notifications or create automatic instances."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud improved my team's ability to focus on core tasks rather than routine issues by having the notification feature that was very helpful to monitor and trigger high and critical issues directly to team members."

"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."

"For a corporate tool – it acts as a 3rd party for a simple wake up tool."

"Integration-wise, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is flawless."

"Afterwards, we didn't want to get rid of it."

More PagerDuty Operations Cloud pros

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The handshake with the monitoring tools can also be improved. When there were a bunch of alerts or the number of alerts was more than a thousand in a minute, OpsGenie wasn't able to handle everything properly. The handshake issues were there."

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

More Opsgenie cons

"Operations are somewhat limited by their integration package. For example, integrating with Jira was problematic until they updated to a better plug-in."

"In terms of witnessing an ROI, no one has really done that level of due diligence."

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

"Smartphone App can be flaky sometimes."

"Our developers noted that integrating incident bots or chatbots created with AI tools occasionally presents challenges with PagerDuty Operations Cloud."

"However, I hear from my manager that the pricing is very high for PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and only a few of us have the main business tier accounts."

"To improve PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I can mention that we can improve the escalation policies. Nowadays, many people miss the alerts."

"There is room for improvement with the time schedule."

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."

"The solution's prices are exorbitant."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"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..."

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

"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."

"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."

"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
