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.

Omni-channel routing has transformed case handling and now supports complex field operations
From my experience, we might need queue-based alignment in Omni-Channel routing. Assignment rules should be defined at the flow level. The challenge with SLA creation is evident in escalation rules, which should include a field flagging feature that is lacking in the current setup. Einstein Bot, linked with Omni-Channel messaging, is complex to define, with a need for all related information in one place, making the process cumbersome. Understanding which bot is associated with specific messaging apps requires manual searching, and this can be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The integration feature is the most valuable. It provides a lot of customizations for the integrations we use."
"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."
"If you can get customers to self-serve, this is invaluable and save your customers' time and your staff's time."
"Automation, order of execution, bulkification, and error monitoring are features that I found to be valuable, and with Salesforce, I have not faced any issues related to these functionalities."
"Being able to report on the Case data and use it to create Dashboards for our upper level management who are already familiar with Salesforce is important."
"Salesforce Service Cloud improved our organization with its mobile capabilities."
"Service Cloud provides a best-of-breed cloud-based case management and call center solution."
"The most valuable feature was the ability to quickly add customizable fields (and by quickly, I mean in less than two minutes) that were easily incorporated into the existing framework."
"Logging activities and creating opportunities are easier than before, and it provides visibility of the sales pipeline."
"There are several good features, but the most valuable to us are the integrated email, entitlements, and the overall powerfulness of the platform."
 

Cons

"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."
"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."
"Typically, the alerts are vague at times, and when the automated callers begin reading that alert, it does not make sense to us."
"We can't rely on the output that we're getting from the platform."
"The user interface could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive compared to other solutions like our current SAP CRM, which is much cheaper."
"The workforce management could use improvement as my client wasn't happy with the scheduling engine."
"It is kind of a struggle to get a report that shows something you want it to show."
"They need to improve the email integration with Outlook. At the moment the plugin is very unstable, and crashes from time to time."
"I'd like to see a better UI/UX. It also needs more competitive pricing on the Service Cloud feature licenses."
"We've started using a couple of AI engines. I believe there's room for improvement there. For instance, when an agent receives a message like "My order is stuck midway, and the delivery guy isn't responding," there should be a pre-populated recommended response on the agent's screen. Instead of crafting a custom reply or searching through knowledge articles to find the delivery guy's contact, this should be the process."
"UI/UX has always proven difficult to keep up with. Salesforce, in general, requires a continued training effort to keep people up to speed and to encourage adoption in the tools."
"The pricing of the various editions could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."
"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."
"The solution's prices are exorbitant."
"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."
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"The price is too expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
