Featured Opsgenie reviews

Pramodh M

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

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.

ITSM Consultant at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees

Opsgenie is just an out-of-the-box tool included with the Jira Service Management (JSM) package. When you're on a premium package, above the standard, Opsgenie is included for free. The integration aspect I'd associate with JSM for incident management, and possibly for tracking changes in performance, but it's definitely a critical component. Virtually all companies, if not all, would likely be using Opsgenie for this reason. There are also a few third-party apps I'm integrating with Opsgenie. I understand its importance, as it enables easy alerting on your phone among other features. It can also integrate with other service desks like Freshdesk or Zendesk. So, there's quite a bit to it. It's a great tool, serving as a crucial pivot for responding promptly to Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and avoiding delays in response times of six to seven hours. The on-call scheduling feature is essential. It's best practice to rotate shifts among team members, managed by team or group leaders, to avoid having the same person always on the night shift. Opsgenie automates this process, allowing for shift swaps and even temporary substitutions, such as covering someone's half-hour lunch break. This tool enhances visibility within the company regarding who is on call at any given time, making it indispensable for a busy service desk to maintain coverage, especially for critical roles, by facilitating easy ticket triage and call handling during absences.

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 fits on top of the base application, which is Jira Service Management. Jira Service Management is an investigation. Previously, we had Jira Service Management and PagerDuty running on top of that. Now, Opsgenie is bundled as a part of JSM. However, when we switched to the cloud version, many of the features have become a bit complicated compared to the Data Center version I had used for years. It might be due to an architectural change or some other reason: Also, it would be nice if Opsgenie had the ability to import rosters from other sources like you can do in PagerDuty.

Valuable Features

"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."
"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."
"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."

Room for Improvement

"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."
"Initially, Opsgenie had bidirectional integration with Jira Service Management, but that functionality has been scaled back. Previously, Opsgenie was adept at managing incidents within its ecosystem, offering seamless ticket transfers between Opsgenie and Jira Service Desk. I valued the ability to push tickets between the two platforms, addressing the need for widespread information accessibility, though it sometimes led to duplication. My suggestion would be to reintroduce complete ticket funneling between these systems to streamline operations."
"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."

ROI

Users experienced a positive ROI from Opsgenie. They reduced costs by over 20% and eliminated the need for multiple service management teams, cutting nearly six full-time positions. Operations were centralized, reducing device overheating risks and preventing major outages at HQ. The monthly cost was significantly lower than the financial benefits observed.

Pricing

"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."
"The solution's prices are exorbitant."

Scalability

Opsgenie appears scalable, accommodating various user numbers and roles. Users can easily integrate and modify configurations with minimal team effort. There is strong support for both cloud and on-premise environments, fitting small to enterprise-level operations. Concerns include user governance on departure and alert delivery to multiple users. Ratings are mixed, from five to nine out of ten, with some companies planning for future expansion. Some believe Opsgenie is especially useful for companies exceeding ten members.

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.
