Features: Opsgenie stands out with customizable alerting, flexible notification rules, and extensive tool integrations. It encompasses email and SMS notifications, maintains ticket history, and allows automated scripting. Opsgenie's app ensures alert receipt even via WiFi, enhancing reliability. Splunk On-Call is known for deep integration with Splunk’s ecosystem, superior on-call scheduling, and powerful coordination capabilities. Its feature set is robust, streamlining on-call tasks efficiently.

Room for Improvement: Opsgenie could enhance its feature set to minimize customizations necessary for more advanced use cases. Its API usability, although good, has room for expansion in features.

Pramodh M

DevSecOps Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

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.

Ramani Happy

Dev Ops Engineer at Data Elicit Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration

A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"If you are using Atlassian products, Opsgenie is the best choice because the features are the same and it is bundled with Jira Service Management."

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

"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."

"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."

"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."

More Opsgenie pros

"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."

"Since implementing Splunk On-Call, our mean time to acknowledge has dropped significantly, and we have fewer escalations to senior engineering for things that could have been caught earlier."

"Technical support is an A+ or a 10/10; if I could give an 11/10, I would, and it is what I love about them."

"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."

"My VP of Operations is ecstatic about the VictorOps product."

"The big benefit of using Splunk On-Call is that I know I have a high-performance team, but now I can really measure and prove it."

"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."

"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."

More Splunk On-Call pros

Cons

"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."

"Typically, the alerts are vague at times, and when the automated callers begin reading that alert, it does not make sense to us."

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

"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 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 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."

More Opsgenie cons

"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."

"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."

"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."

"Should have more YouTube webinars."

"Many years ago, when VictorOps was a standalone company, when it was not part of Splunk, their support was more dedicated for us."

"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."

"I would say a little bit of the user experience and the user interface of Splunk On-Call can be improved."

"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
