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.

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The measurable benefits from PagerDuty Operations Cloud are that it has made our work easier, where the alerts will be synced and then directly create an alert to the SMEs, and instead of doing it manually, if it is automated in such a way that an alert gets triggered and routed directly to the SME, then that is a great benefit."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted our organization significantly."
"With one solution, we are able to do the triaging, and that definitely reduced the outage window and the average outage window."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted my organization by helping in faster incident detection and resolution with less downtime."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been reliable as it has never gone down in my experience; I have never seen it fail."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to be immediately paged when a system or service is down, enabling us to quickly respond and provide updates to the organization on issues and their resolution."
"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."
"Obviously, scheduling the calls is a valuable feature."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."
"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."
"This is really easy solution to scale up and get get going to add new catalog items."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"CA Technologies support is excellent."
 

Cons

"If there is an outage on PagerDuty's side, we sit idle waiting for it to be resolved."
"One way PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve is through the scheduling feature, which can be tricky, especially with complex schedules."
"Customer support can be improved. At times, we get a delay in response."
"I can only suggest cosmetic improvements to the recorded voice when responding to a page. It should be less angry."
"It’s quite hard to reach the support team."
"The product can be improved by including out-of-the-box integration with other standard tools used in our fields such as Confluence, and Jira."
"Because of the way you have to structure the rosters, if an engineer has to go on leave, you can't just go in and reassign or take this person out of all of the different rosters that they're in."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be improved with clearer instructions for beginners."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"Usability for IT analysts could be improved."
"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."
"Their service management application needs a lot of work."
"Flexibility to customize."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
"This is not appropriate for a small or even a medium-sized business. Too much overhead for a small company."
"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."
"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 you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
