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.

Salesforce Consultant at BYTENET
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

"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 is easy to configure and use."
"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert."
"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."
"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."
"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."
"The instant input of feedback into the CRM systems by case management is one of the impactful features"
"The Salesforce customer service has been excellent."
"It’s feasible to configure the platform according to the specific processes utilised. Customization of the platform could be carried out based on the techniques we employ."
"Salesforce accelerates time to market and streamlines workflows through automation. Integrating with other software systems, such as HR or ERP platforms, allows for seamless data exchange and enhances efficiency."
"I don't have the specific details, but I'm aware that Salesforce is used for campaigns, decision-making processes, and order submissions. I'm currently in the learning phase and not familiar with all the details."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions."
"We have improved our customer service and call-deflection rate with Service Cloud, particularly with Knowledge Base and Customer Community features"
"With the implementation of a complete Service Renewal Cycle using Salesforce, their threshold value of conversion got reduced from 1-2 weeks to a single day!"
 

Cons

"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."
"The user interface could be improved."
"We can't rely on the output that we're getting from the platform."
"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."
"There is no control over the appearance of Visual Flow pages, giving the appearance of an amateur web application within the Salesforce interface."
"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."
"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
"I would like to add some bot features."
"There are elements of Service Cloud which cannot be smoothly migrated from sandbox environments to production, leading to manual steps in a deployment."
"The pricing of Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive compared to other solutions like our current SAP CRM, which is much cheaper."
"The support team is limited and does not typically go above and beyond like some companies. Unless you have premium support, assistance is restricted."
"Reporting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 tool is pretty expensive."
"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"The price is too expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is expensive. I worked with ExactTarget over five years ago, and it was quite pricey then. Not everyone could afford it. Salesforce has different tiers for different kinds of users. It's expensive considering their features and services, but they offer best-in-class solutions."
