Reliable incident paging has kept outages under control but separate client notes are still missing
Pros and Cons
  • "PagerDuty Operations Cloud has improved my team's ability to focus on core tasks rather than routine issues primarily due to its availability and reliability."
  • "I can evaluate the effectiveness of PagerDuty Operations Cloud in providing insights for decision-making, and I rate it around seven out of ten."

What is our primary use case?

My usual use cases with PagerDuty Operations Cloud involve handling incidents through a full flow. When there is an outage, an incident is created that can be either severity one or severity two. As the person on call that day, I receive a page from PagerDuty on the app and three calls on my cell phone. When I pick up the call, PagerDuty IVR asks me to acknowledge the incident. Once I acknowledge the incident from the call, I go to PagerDuty through the website, which is much easier to navigate than the mobile app. I then page other teams responsible for the incident, as well as the stakeholders and product owners.

PagerDuty is integrated with Microsoft Teams, so I open a Teams bridge call to resolve the issue and update all incident details in PagerDuty notes, which automatically integrates with ServiceNow incident and sends messages to stakeholders' phone numbers.

One time while hanging out in the mountains, there was no internet signal but there was cell reception. An incident happened while I was on call that day. Normally, without internet, I would not be able to know about it, but because of PagerDuty, I was paged three times on my cell phone as well as through text message. I managed to call another colleague from my work and told him to take care of the incident. This helped me avoid breaching the SLAs on incident acknowledgment and allowed me to access remote incidents without relying solely on the internet.

What is most valuable?

The features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that I find most valuable involve being automatically paged whenever an incident is triggered. PagerDuty has group names embedded into it, and when we set up PagerDuty in our organization, we embedded the group name, allowing me to page other respondents without having to go separately into Microsoft Teams, add everybody's name, and then ping and call them. I can do this directly from PagerDuty itself.

The notes update feature allows me to put the details of the incident in the notes and click post, and it is integrated everywhere. Everything is centralized.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has improved my team's ability to focus on core tasks rather than routine issues primarily due to its availability and reliability. We do not worry about whether PagerDuty will call us when an incident triggers, allowing us to focus on that incident. The notes update process ensures that everyone gets informed with just one update.

What needs improvement?

I think PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be improved by having two fields for incident updates. In my work, I handle incidents that have two fields: work notes visible only to developers working on the incident and additional comments visible to the client. When I update through PagerDuty, everything gets updated into the additional comments. There should be two fields, perhaps based on how it is integrated with ServiceNow.

I have not used PagerDuty's autonomous AI agents or generative AI, so I am not sure whether it is integrated.

I can evaluate the effectiveness of PagerDuty Operations Cloud in providing insights for decision-making, and I rate it around seven out of ten. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is really helpful. With generative AI integrated and a chatbot, I think it would bump the rating up to nine, but I have not used it yet, so I cannot say for certain.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for around one and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Regarding the reliability and stability of this product, I find it really stable. Based on my personal experience in the mountains, I can vouch for it. My organization measures the acknowledgment rate by checking how many times a call rings and how quickly the responder acknowledges the incident. The acknowledgment rate is really good, around ninety to ninety-five percent.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think the scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is superb. It can handle many requests according to demand. As other members and teams are added to our organization, it has not impacted the latency, call failure, or anything else. The performance is really good.

On-call automation has transformed alert handling and now creates a faster, competitive workflow
Pros and Cons
  • "PagerDuty Operations Cloud changed the process and the flow in our team very smoothly."
  • "However, I hear from my manager that the pricing is very high for PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and only a few of us have the main business tier accounts."

What is our primary use case?

My use case for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is from the SRE and DevOps team. We use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for specific alerting purposes and for the pipeline process. When we build a pipeline and it suddenly fails due to some job and issues, we receive an error. We set up PagerDuty Operations Cloud with our monitoring services, which we are currently using, Datadog. Datadog is connected with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and whenever Datadog receives an alert or a spike or anything critical, it will trigger an alert to PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and we quickly get a notification. We are currently using this process, and we are also maintaining our on-shift call rotation. For example, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I am working as a shift lead, and then on Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, someone else is the shift lead. Regarding MTTR and all those statistics, we can see how many alerts we received, how many alerts we acknowledged this month, and we have a timeline as well. One of the valuable parts of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is that in our team, we can have a competitive environment. For example, if I resolved the most alerts triggered and resolved this month, then someone else can do it next month, and whoever resolves the most critical alerts on time receives appreciation every month.

What is most valuable?

One feature of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that I find valuable is the on-call schedule. We can manage our on-call scheduling, and we have various alert and notification delivery methods available, including mobile. We can receive phone calls, emails, SMS, and push notifications. For example, if someone missed the notification, they will get a phone call, which is very straightforward. We also have incident automation, making collaboration with any third-party monitoring services we use very straightforward, such as Datadog. We can seamlessly automate things with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The AI features are also beneficial; for example, noisy alerts that trigger regularly and false positive alerts get suppressed. It checks the past month's alerts, showing us that this alert triggered 60 percent, this alert triggered 20 percent, this alert is rare, and this alert is not rare. The escalation policy is excellent as well, as if I did not pick up the call, my manager will get the call; if my manager did not pick up, then his manager gets the call. These are some of the most valuable parts we use in PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

In Datadog, we have multiple dashboards and monitoring systems where we see our spikes and alerts. When we integrated with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we got better signal and less noise. When we are seeing a spike that is concurrent, in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, the AI feature already signifies that alert as a noisy alert, and it suppresses that alert. This significantly improves our workflow with both Datadog and PagerDuty Operations Cloud. We have faster response and faster escalation. Previously, in Datadog, we did not get notifications, and people would refresh it and check the spike every hour. Now that we integrated PagerDuty Operations Cloud, any alert triggers, and we quickly get a notification or a phone call. Therefore, we do not sit in front of a computer and refresh repeatedly. Additionally, we have a centralized incident workflow; PagerDuty Operations Cloud and Datadog feed into PagerDuty Operations Cloud incident timeline, so we see everything there. We do not need to open Datadog again and again, and if we need to deep dive into an alert from Datadog, we can click the link inside PagerDuty Operations Cloud, redirecting us to the Datadog dashboard where everything is noted down and visible.

In PagerDuty Operations Cloud, AI suppressing our alerts has helped streamline repetitive tasks. For example, very noisy alerts get suppressed automatically, aiding smarter routing. When we have new joiners in our team, they see alerts already suppressed, allowing them to focus on the critical ones instead of the lower ones. Additionally, alert prioritization is present; we receive critical alerts, high alerts, and then low alerts. The faster prioritization facilitated by AI enhances our alert management processes. Also, the root cause historical pattern assists us; if we get an alert similar to one from last month, it tells us how we resolved that alert previously. Historical patterns using AI greatly aid us in alert management.

What needs improvement?

I have already used PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and my previous monitoring tools were very poor for alerting. I had a good impression of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but I believe it can improve with deeper root cause insights. I know there is automation to detect recent deployments causing incidents, but a deeper root cause analysis could provide more details. If PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers more information, we will not need to jump into the main dashboards where the alert triggered. For instance, if we get more insights directly in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we would not need to check the Datadog dashboard. Additionally, I think a sandbox mode would be helpful for new team members, allowing us to guide them in simulating alerts, performing escalation policies, and creating PagerDuty Operations Cloud channels.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with PagerDuty Operations Cloud for five years. I worked on two different projects, and in both projects, we use PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In my previous project, we utilized the flexible incident command system to coordinate large-scale incidents, but in my current project with only Datadog, we have not received many alerts or incidents in the last couple of days.

How are customer service and support?

I do not have direct contact with PagerDuty Operations Cloud tech support or customer service teams, but my senior team members have connected with them when we received an alert related to our team failing to set it up properly. The customer support team promptly gave us insight and helped us within 24 hours.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I am currently working with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Previously, on my previous project, we were on BigPanda, but we faced multiple issues during BigPanda. At that time, there was no call schedule feature, and there was no alert triggered feature for BigPanda. We then moved it to PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and suddenly everything was smooth. We got a phone app as well; we set up PagerDuty Operations Cloud on the phone as well. Whenever any alert triggered for us, we used to quickly check from our phone to see if it was a false positive, a true P1, P2 alert, a major alert, or a critical alert. We then quickly jump into the alert and work on it. PagerDuty Operations Cloud changed the process and the flow in our team very smoothly.

How was the initial setup?

I found the initial setup of PagerDuty Operations Cloud straightforward; I did not face any complexities during the setup for alerts or during the initial configuration.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Regarding pricing for PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I am currently a software engineer and a senior software engineer, so I do not handle the pricing aspect. However, I hear from my manager that the pricing is very high for PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and only a few of us have the main business tier accounts. Many of us have low tier accounts that restrict us to acknowledging and viewing alerts, while a few have the ability to create and trigger alerts. Therefore, I do not think much about pricing, but I do believe it is somewhat high. However, I think this is valid because PagerDuty Operations Cloud provides a vast amount of benefits compared to other alerting systems.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Regarding the key differences, pros and cons of PagerDuty Operations Cloud compared to competitors, some pros include alert grouping, AI functionality, and the ability to easily integrate with Slack for quicker resolution. Additionally, we receive phone notifications and push notifications, which many of the other competitors do not provide. The pricing of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is also reasonable for the functionalities it offers compared to its competitors. These are some benefits I see in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, including helpful alert insights and direct links to dashboards we have integrated, such as Datadog and Grafana, which allow us to resolve issues quickly.

What other advice do I have?

The recommendation I share, based on my experience with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, is that it is one of the best platforms for synchronizing with your monitoring tools. It will improve your flow, and your team will definitely benefit from PagerDuty Operations Cloud compared to other competitors, as it offers numerous advantages. I give this review a rating of ten out of ten.

Centralized incident routing has streamlined on-call response and reduced downtime
Pros and Cons
  • "PagerDuty Operations Cloud has made our incident response more organized, well-structured, and consistent."
  • "The platform feels a little complex when setting up advanced routing rules, escalation policies, and integrations."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for managing incidents and monitoring all critical services on our application. I rely on it most for real-time alerts, automated incident routing, on-call coordination, and quickly bringing the right team members into an issue when something goes wrong with our production applications.

A recent issue occurred when one of our production services started showing a spike in errors. PagerDuty Operations Cloud triggered an alert and automatically routed the incident to our on-call engineer. We were able to acknowledge and quickly coordinate the response while keeping track of updates in one place, making it easy to identify issues and avoid delays in determining who should handle the problem and how to reduce the time to restore service to normal so we could maintain the same user experience.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud fits well into my daily workflow because it provides one place to manage all alerts, incidents, and on-call responsibilities. I especially appreciate having clear ownership and escalation when an issue needs immediate attention. It reduces manual coordination and makes incident response more organized and structured.

What is most valuable?

Several features stand out for me, including automated alerting, intelligent incident routing, on-call scheduling, and escalation policies. I find it especially useful that alerts reach the right person automatically instead of relying on manual communication. The incident timeline and collaboration features make it easier to understand what happened and keep everyone aligned during an outage.

Escalation policies make the biggest difference for my team because they ensure that if the first person does not respond, the incident automatically moves to the next person instead of getting missed. This provides us more confidence during critical issues, especially outside normal working hours.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has made our incident response more organized, well-structured, and consistent. Instead of relying on manual communications, alerts are automatically routed to the appropriate team and escalation ensures issues do not get overlooked. It has also improved collaboration during an incident because everyone can see the status and ownership clearly. Overall, my team spends less time coordinating and more time actually resolving problems.

What needs improvement?

One area I would like to see improved is making complex alerts configuration and routing rules easier to set up and manage.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud's flexibility is useful, but some advanced configuration can take time to understand. Simplifying the setup of routing rules and escalation policies with clear guidance for complex workflows would make the platform easier for new team members to adopt.

The platform feels a little complex when setting up advanced routing rules, escalation policies, and integrations. For new users, it takes time to understand how everything fits together. I would like to see simpler configuration workflows and clear guidance, particularly for new users or new team members. Once everything is configured, the day-to-day incident management experience is fairly smooth.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very efficient, robust, and scalable.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support is wonderful and always helpful.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are using this for monitoring all our production applications.

What was our ROI?

We see a good return on investment. It saves our time as well as money.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Pricing is good and not too cheap.

What other advice do I have?

I would always recommend PagerDuty Operations Cloud to any organization because it monitors all production applications, enhances user experience, and reduces application downtime.

I found the AI output to be generally accurate and reliable for common incident management tasks, especially when summarizing incidents and highlighting relevant information. It gives us a useful starting point and can save time when reviewing an issue. I still treat AI-generated recommendations as a support tool and verify important details before taking action, particularly during critical incidents.

I give this product a rating of 9 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Real-time alerts have protected client sites and now keep our team focused on critical issues
Pros and Cons
  • "The real-time notification is top-notch, and critical warnings reach the right person right away without delay."
  • "The learning curve for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit steep, with its complicated rules and schedules, and we have to dedicate a proper team to use that tool."

What is our primary use case?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used for real-time alerts when something goes wrong with our system so the team can fix it right away, and for setting up on-call schedules to ensure the right person is always ready to answer the problem at any time of the day. We also use it for scaling up discovery calls with our clients and prospects.

Last month, one of our main web servers stopped working in the middle of the day, and the system sent an instant notification to the team, who automatically used our on-call schedule to contact the right engineer on duty, saving us precious time instead of guessing who to call.

We have used PagerDuty Operations Cloud to control the external noise from the alerts.

What is most valuable?

The real-time notification is top-notch, and critical warnings reach the right person right away without delay. Smart tools that reduce extra alert noise are great for keeping the team focused on real-time problems. The large number of connections to over 700 different software tools allows us to bring all work together in one workflow.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has helped fix critical problems much faster, including the ads we are running that do not crash, the websites we run for our clients, and our CRM website.

I cannot say that PagerDuty Operations Cloud has reduced downtime or improved our team's response time because we have been using it for around two months only. However, we have seen reduced downtime and quick resolution of issues because everyone is notified when something is damaged, whereas earlier we would only find out about issues when the client called us. This also gave us a demerit because the client thought we could not do the work properly, resulting in a significant reduction in our monthly retainer. Now we are stable with our monthly retainer.

The security governance of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty good.

Regarding its accuracy and reliability of output, I would say it is pretty much accurate.

PagerDuty's generative AI is pretty good, although sometimes the decision can be a bit generic and not very reliable, but they are improving it.

What needs improvement?

The learning curve for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit steep, with its complicated rules and schedules, and we have to dedicate a proper team to use that tool.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for two months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty much stable and I have not seen it crashing.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty much scalable.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used customer support until now, but I believe they will be great.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were not using any different solution; this is the first time we are going for an on-cloud platform.

What about the implementation team?

I cannot share how my team has leveraged automation within PagerDuty Operations Cloud because it is a bit confidential.

What was our ROI?

It helps us save manual hours of work every week.

For me as an employee, I would say the time has been reduced and the downtime has been reduced.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I was not on the team that evaluated options before choosing PagerDuty Operations Cloud, so I cannot tell you about this.

What other advice do I have?

We are still in the process of implementing AI and automation through PagerDuty for incident response.

I cannot answer that question right now because we are still testing PagerDuty's autonomous AI agents.

The alert reduction feature has been reporting to us issues such as a client's website being down or the CRM website being down, which I would say has saved us.

I would say that if your team can purchase PagerDuty Operations Cloud, you can definitely use it, although it is a bit costly for a startup, as was pointed out by my team too, but we have saved a lot of time.

I gave this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

On-call workflows have been streamlined and critical alerts are now managed without being missed
Pros and Cons
  • "PagerDuty Operations Cloud handles this process perfectly, and we do not miss any alerts because of this system."
  • "PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself functions well, but our setup sometimes feels irritating."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is for the on-call support that my team provides. We work in two phases: we build and architect things, and then we support them. Every week, two engineers from my team serve as on-call support engineers for any escalation tasks or emergencies that may happen with our production environment. We have monitoring and observability enabled for our services, applications, and servers. Whoever is the on-call engineer for that particular week follows an escalation matrix with five people: two primary and secondary on-call engineers, two primary and secondary management contacts, and the highest level, which is CVP. If something is not resolved by the primary engineer, it escalates to the secondary engineer, then to primary management, secondary management, and so on. We have a predefined roster that has been scheduled for approximately the next year, where each primary engineer is assigned a week. Every engineer is assigned a role as either a primary or secondary on-call engineer, and any escalations during that period are managed by PagerDuty Operations Cloud and communicated to the primary engineer, who then acknowledges it, resolves it, escalates it, or takes whatever action is needed.

What is most valuable?

The best features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud are that it is a fairly good tool for alerting. Here is how the process works: suppose there is an XYZ server in my environment hosting a production or development application, and a primary on-call engineer has been assigned for that particular week. We have set up monitoring and observability for that node so that if the node is not reachable, an alert is triggered and sends a notification to our integrated Slack channels with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. If the engineer is available, they can acknowledge the alert. If they fail to acknowledge it, the system calls them on their provided number. If that is also not acknowledged, it sends a text message. If those actions are not acknowledged, it sends an alert to the secondary engineer and calls them as well. This multi-channel approach makes it very difficult to miss an important alert or update. PagerDuty Operations Cloud handles this process perfectly, and we do not miss any alerts because of this system.

Regarding the stability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I cannot recall an incident where it was not available. I can say that it is 100 percent reliable for my needs.

What needs improvement?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself functions well, but our setup sometimes feels irritating. The calls come very early in the morning, and even after we acknowledge them, numerous calls from PagerDuty Operations Cloud pop up before we have fully woken up. We try to snooze them, but this is a result of how we have configured our alerting mechanisms rather than a PagerDuty Operations Cloud issue.

Another piece of feedback is that there should be more options for changing the automated voice that calls us. The automated voice could be better as it is not very interesting and feels outdated. I have not seen updates to it during the time I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud. I do not see many updates made to PagerDuty Operations Cloud overall. The UI is simple, but it should be refreshed periodically to keep up with current times. Everything needs a fresh appearance periodically.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for the past four years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud's scalability as a solution is fairly straightforward and has maintained its effectiveness. With new integrations being launched periodically, such as Slack and Datadog, the platform has blended itself well from an integration perspective. Whatever top-notch tools we are using as an enterprise solution, PagerDuty Operations Cloud has kept itself current and integrates nicely with all the tools we use these days. Even with upgrades we are making, such as adopting AI agents and using the latest AWS services like Bedrock and SageMaker, it is fairly easy to integrate with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The platform also provides the option of changing rosters. PagerDuty Operations Cloud has a mobile application that I can use on my mobile phone, and it is fairly easy to use from mobile as well. I can change my rosters and reach out to my primary management and other contacts through the mobile app. It has kept up with recent times and continues to evolve.

What other advice do I have?

I was not involved in the deployment of PagerDuty Operations Cloud because it was already in my organization when I joined. However, after using it for the past four years, I can say it does not need much complexity. The architecture is straightforward, as PagerDuty Operations Cloud is integrated with my Datadog and Slack systems. The integrations are easy, and it is now being integrated with AI agents as well. In the UI, I can see who is on the schedule. Although I was not involved in the deployment, I know it is fairly easy to use.

I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud around a nine out of ten. I deduct one point for the lack of updates to the UI, as the platform has not made many updates to its interface. Despite this, it does the job that it needs to do, and I would rate it a nine.

Incident response has become faster and on-call alerts stay reliable for critical operations
Pros and Cons
  • "I see PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a very good incident management and on-call platform, mostly used by large-scale organizations because it comes with premium pricing, but it is very reliable with alerting and on-call scheduling, triggering incidents, escalation policies, rules, and runbooks."
  • "I think an area of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that could be improved is their premium pricing, as it compares unfavorably with competitors such as Atlassian's Opsgenie and ServiceNow, which offer bundle deals, plus DataDog now has incident management capabilities."

What is our primary use case?

I am an end user of PagerDuty Operations Cloud in my organization, with a background in incident management. I primarily use it for managing on-call schedules, triggering and handling incidents, and monitoring alerts. It helps ensure timely responses, efficient escalation, and better coordination during incidents, making it a key tool for maintaining operational reliability.

How has it helped my organization?

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has improved our incident response by ensuring reliable alerting and faster escalation to the right teams. It has significantly reduced alert fatigue through better alert filtering and deduplication. The platform has also lowered our mean time to resolve (MTTR) with runbook automation and streamlined on-call management, leading to fewer disruptions and improved overall operational efficiency.

What is most valuable?

The features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that I have found the most valuable and useful include alerting, which is very reliable with minimal delays, and the escalation policies and routing rules that are more flexible. Additionally, the on-call scheduling capabilities are great, and it integrates well with any cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and observability tools such as DataDog and New Relic for logging and checking out logs.

I have noticed that PagerDuty Operations Cloud influences revenue protection by reducing alert fatigue and incident costs. AIOps has helped recently in reducing noise and alert duplications, and runbook automations aid in lowering the mean time to resolve by integrating triggers to Slack and updating runbooks.

I see PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a very good incident management and on-call platform, mostly used by large-scale organizations because it comes with premium pricing, but it is very reliable with alerting and on-call scheduling, triggering incidents, escalation policies, rules, and runbooks.

What needs improvement?

I think an area of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that could be improved is their premium pricing, as it compares unfavorably with competitors such as Atlassian's Opsgenie and ServiceNow, which offer bundle deals, plus DataDog now has incident management capabilities. Overall, the premium pricing makes it less accessible for small to medium businesses.

I think the pricing of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit too high, and also, the UI can feel a bit curvy for new users; the learning curve might be a bit dense for them. The initial setup is straightforward, but the event orchestration could be complex, and the automation workflow definitely requires great expertise.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for approximately four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability and reliability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud 9.5 out of 10. The platform is highly stable and dependable in production environments, especially for critical incident management workflows. We have experienced consistent alert delivery, reliable on-call scheduling, and minimal downtime or disruptions.

That said, no system is completely perfect, so I cannot say it is 100% flawless. However, overall it has proven to be very reliable for mission-critical operations, where even small delays or failures would have significant impact.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud 8 out of 10. From a technical perspective, the platform scales very well and can support large, distributed teams with complex incident management needs. It handles high volumes of alerts, multiple services, and integrations across cloud platforms efficiently.

However, the main limitation to scalability is its premium pricing. As organizations grow and onboard more users or services, the cost increases significantly, which can be a challenge for small to mid-sized teams. So while it is technically highly scalable, cost can be a limiting factor for broader adoption.

How are customer service and support?

I have had regular interactions with PagerDuty Operations Cloud’s technical support, and my overall experience has been positive. The support team is responsive and helpful in addressing queries.

For example, during a user audit, I requested specific data on active users and those who had not accepted invitations. The support team responded quickly and provided the required information without delays. Overall, the support experience has been efficient and reliable when assistance is needed.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have only been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud; recently with my new organization, I am also using Fire Hydrant.

How was the initial setup?

I was not directly involved in the initial setup of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, as it was handled by senior team members. However, from my observations, the setup process appears to be straightforward at a basic level for core features like alerting and on-call scheduling.

That said, advanced configurations such as event orchestration and automation can become complex. If rules are not configured properly, they may lead to alert storms or missed incidents. Additionally, runbook automation is not plug-and-play and typically requires scripting knowledge and careful setup to function effectively.

What was our ROI?

From an ROI perspective, I do not have direct visibility into financial metrics, so I cannot quantify exact cost savings. However, I have seen strong operational ROI from PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

It has improved incident response efficiency by reducing alert fatigue, ensuring faster escalation, and lowering mean time to resolve (MTTR) through runbook automation. These improvements have helped prevent prolonged outages and reduced the impact of incidents, which indirectly contributes to cost savings and better service reliability at an operational level.

What other advice do I have?

I have some exposure to its autonomous AI agents, I have not extensively used its AIOps or generative AI capabilities. Despite that, the platform has had a strong positive impact on our operations.

By properly configuring alerting rules, we have been able to significantly reduce alert fatigue and shift focus toward more critical issues rather than routine noise. PagerDuty has also helped in reducing the number of duplicate alerts through intelligent pattern recognition.

Additionally, runbook automation has contributed to lowering our mean time to resolve (MTTR), enabling faster and more efficient incident handling. Overall, it has helped prevent costly incidents and improved operational efficiency across the team.

My review rating for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is nine point five out of ten.

Integrated alerts have improved on-call response and enabled proactive incident management
Pros and Cons
  • "From my perspective, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is good, with user-friendly features that anyone can quickly learn, including integration processes, on-call management, and escalation policies, and it is a valuable asset for my organization."

    What is our primary use case?

    PagerDuty Operations Cloud's main use case for my organization is the integration of alerts by receiving them via mobile, email, and SMS.

    For example, we integrated AWS CloudWatch alarms. If we get any age of oldest message alert, which applies to SQS, we set up our SNS integration by providing a topic and subscription, and we give the integration URL of PagerDuty Operations Cloud. If the age of the oldest message threshold is breached, we will receive an alert via PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

    Regarding my main use case, we have also integrated other tools such as Prometheus and Grafana along with Alertmanager. Via Grafana, we have integrated our dashboard metrics and created alerts if the threshold is breached. Based on those metrics, PagerDuty Operations Cloud alert will be triggered.

    What is most valuable?

    PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers great features, including service directories, Slack integrations, incident reports, alert suppression, orchestration, team management, and permission handling such as read or write. These are the best features according to my daily experience.

    The integration part stands out for us, as we have utilized integrations like AWS, Azure, Jenkins for pipeline breaches, Slack, and New Relic, along with a number of plugins that are helpful.

    In the market, when comparing PagerDuty Operations Cloud to VictorOps and other services, PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers great features, particularly the simplicity of its integration plugins, which is a significant advantage.

    If there are issues in our production environment, we immediately get alerts and can take action. Even if we are busy with other issues and we cannot fully monitor our dashboards, the integration of alerts is fantastic because it notifies us via phone at any time. We can react immediately based on the alert's priority and take necessary action, leveraging our understanding of the infrastructure and the type of issues.

    What needs improvement?

    In terms of improvements, I do not have any specific suggestions. The alert suppression and merging features look good, and overall, I see no issues.

    No improvements are necessary from what I have heard, and everything seems fine. I manage PagerDuty Operations Cloud operations for my team, including on-call management and schedules, and I am happy with everything from both my colleagues' and my perspective.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for eight years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The accuracy and reliability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud are good, and I have no doubts about it.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Currently, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is deployed in my organization on the public cloud.

    What other advice do I have?

    As for measurable outcomes like reduced downtime or faster response times, sometimes we have to acknowledge even low-priority alerts. One instance involved a few users on my team who did not accept a low-priority alert.

    From my perspective, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is good, with user-friendly features that anyone can quickly learn, including integration processes, on-call management, and escalation policies. It is a valuable asset for my organization.

    Recently we integrated our AI capabilities into PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which helps us get alerts integrated with Slack, providing information on the service directory and AWS CloudWatch URL.

    We have integrated our AI agents, which provide comprehensive details such as tasks, responses, acknowledgments, resolves, and links, making it beneficial for viewing and acknowledgment processes.

    I need to dive deeper into this, but as of now, the resources we are using have all the necessary functionality and everything is working well.

    I provide a review rating of 8.5 for PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Incident alerts have been centralized and on-call workflows now run smoothly across teams
    Pros and Cons
    • "The aspect I appreciate most about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is certainly the incident management capabilities."
    • "Currently, New Relic and Datadog handle monitoring and observability better than PagerDuty Operations Cloud."

    What is our primary use case?

    We had one monitoring tool in place, and whenever an incident and alert were created in that monitoring tool, we received a PagerDuty alert from there. It was configured over the vessels, and on the ships, we have a small data center. If anything went wrong, before any crew member informed us, we tried to address it and resolve the incident. Currently, one of my clients is Coupa. We have New Relic as a monitoring and observability tool, but for the pager service, we have PagerDuty in place. I was also working for another project called HP Anywhere, where we are using Datadog as an observability and monitoring stack, but we have PagerDuty for incident alerts and notifications.

    What is most valuable?

    The aspect I appreciate most about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is certainly the incident management capabilities. We can create our rotational shifts and on-call schedules. The way it operates has become natural to us, allowing us to create schedules for separate teams and then create escalation policies. If team one misses an alert, it goes to the leads. If the lead misses acknowledging it, then it goes to the managers. It is very easy to manage in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Recently, it has been introduced in Datadog as well, and it looks somewhat similar, but PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been our tool for so long that we have become accustomed to it.

    Auto-resolve is available, so if the alert is gone, it automatically resolves. The information it provides on the incident is valuable, so we do not have to each time go to New Relic or Datadog. It brings all the information from those tools to PagerDuty Operations Cloud, allowing us to identify the issue and resolve it.

    What needs improvement?

    From an India perspective, what I have been noticing recently is that in India, the government itself indicates whether a call is spam or normal. Recently, when we receive calls from PagerDuty Operations Cloud numbers, they are flagged as spam calls. This is something that could be addressed.

    Additionally, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is already excellent for incident management, but if it could also provide observability capabilities, that would be beneficial. A smaller team can have PagerDuty Operations Cloud for incident management, but for observability and monitoring, we have to go to New Relic or implement our own Grafana or Prometheus. If PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself started providing some monitoring capabilities, even if not in-depth observability, that would be fantastic.

    Currently, New Relic and Datadog handle monitoring and observability better than PagerDuty Operations Cloud. In New Relic, we have twelve to thirteen accounts, and we navigate between those accounts. At least sixty thousand servers are reporting to those New Relic instances. Finding our server, filtering the logs, and performing related tasks is really easy. This feasibility is not there in PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for approximately seven to eight years

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    In my experience so far, there have been no stability issues. It has always been a working tool. I have not heard from any colleagues or others that we have had any support tickets open with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which means that things have been working as expected.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    For one of our clients that I am currently working with, Coupa, the entire organization is dependent on this tool. We have centralized monitoring observability with New Relic, and for incident management, we have PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The team I am in currently is handling four SaaS products, and Coupa itself has at least thirty plus or forty plus SaaS products under its umbrella. With scalability, I believe PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been working well.

    How are customer service and support?

    PagerDuty Operations Cloud does not require any maintenance from our end.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial deployment was easy, and integration with the other tools was also straightforward. We integrated PagerDuty Operations Cloud with our Slack and Jira. For one of our clients, if an incident is created in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, it creates a ticket in Jira. Then on Jira, under that ticket, we maintain all the history of the incident. Jira is particularly important because in the organization, it is the go-to tool for ticketing. If a similar incident occurs, we keep a history in Jira. Integrating PagerDuty Operations Cloud with the other tools was also quite easy.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    I am not very familiar with the pricing. On an organizational basis, I have not reached that level. I am still a senior cloud consultant, but the costing and those aspects are not something I am currently involved with.

    What other advice do I have?

    PagerDuty Operations Cloud is not currently being used for additional features in our organizations. We have not started with those features currently. This is certainly not the case for our implementation. I am particularly a customer, but my clients could have partnerships with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which I am not aware of currently. I would rate my overall experience with PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a nine out of ten.
