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.

Automated alert routing has improved incident response and now enables faster on-call collaboration

Some of the features of Splunk On-Call include automated alert routing and escalation that will ensure the right people get notified immediately. Also, on-call scheduling and rotation management. This feature makes managing shifts and coverage very easy. Another feature is real-time incident collaboration and communication. This will help bring the right team together fast. Another feature is alert de-duplication and suppression. This will reduce the noise, so only meaningful alerts reach the on-call staff. The feature I rely on the most in my daily work is automated alert routing and escalation. It ensures that critical issues go directly to the right engineer without delay, which saves time and prevents the incident from being missed. This has been the biggest contributor to improving our response times. The noise reduction feature is also very helpful. By filtering out non-critical or duplicate alerts, Splunk On-Call keeps our team focused on what actually matters and prevents alert fatigue. Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents. It also reduced alert fatigue and made our on-call process more reliable and predictable. Our average incident response time dropped by around 20% to 25%, mainly because alerts reached the right people faster. We also noticed fewer unnecessary escalations, and missed alerts almost completely stopped after we implemented automated routing and escalation policies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets. Automation, like scripting, is also possible. There are also features for maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how it was resolved previously. If there are similar kinds of tickets, we can look at how a person is working on that ticket. If he doesn't have any idea, you can look back at a similar ticket and solve it as the previous person did it."

"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."

"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."

"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."

"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 rotation and scheduling are beneficial."

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

More Opsgenie pros

"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."

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

"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."

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

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

Cons

"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."

"In a future release, we would like to receive alerts when a specific threshold is reached and to escalate the reason for that alert."

"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."

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

"The user interface could be improved."

"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."

"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."

More Opsgenie cons

"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."

"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."

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

"Should have more YouTube webinars."

"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's prices are exorbitant."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

Overview

Users are empowered to manage their contact details and notification preferences in a single location, hence the administrators don't have to maintain this information at each application. OpsGenie is a cloud based service with reliable, distributed architecture that is replicated in multiple data centers, and monitored around the clock. The lifecycle for each alert, notifications, actions taken by users, are recorded and reported to enable admins to easily analyze what happened. No more wasting time, digging up log files. No more finger pointing.

Most enterprises employ multitude of tools for IT management: for monitoring, ticketing, configuration and change management, etc. Although each of these tools may be individually capable of sending notifications via email or SMS, it is a burden for administrators to maintain the same information in each of these multiple, disparate systems.

OpsGenie enables organizations to consolidate notification management into a single management system. OpsGenie enables users to maintain their own contact details and preferences in one place, eliminating duplication of data, reducing administrative overhead.
