Featured Reviews

Michael Wenn - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides strong event correlation features, but its initial setup should be made easier
The solution's integrations are out of the box, and it is easy to integrate the tool with many technologies through its APIs. Moogsoft is always deployed on the cloud. Since it's a SaaS-based solution, it's cloud-delivered but also deploys to a hybrid or on-premises situation. The solution attaches itself to any environment size, but it's delivered via SaaS. The solution has room for improvement, but it's a pretty good technology. It does very well in delivering a big impact for businesses. Now, since it's owned by Dell and has the financial backing, it'll go from strength to strength. It's built by two very experienced co-founders who have used this type of technology before and were very much ahead of the curve. I'm still implementing the solution, and it is a platform that can deliver to something as big as HSBC. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
JeremyEmmett - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized alert management with customizable routing and superior scheduling
Everything can always be better. Operations are somewhat limited by their integration package. For example, integrating with Jira was problematic until they updated to a better plug-in. The ability to build customized modules would be advantageous, allowing organizations to define their own integration modules. It would be useful to have a way to define all configurations in code that is similar to how Terraform operates.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The operations are familiar with how to use Moogsoft, so they are keeping it."
"The product currently seems to be a few steps ahead of the competition."
"Moogsoft AIOps integrates seamlessly with 50-plus IT monitoring, automation, service management, notification, and collaboration tools. It also provides a great and easy-to-use interface for observing."
"Moogsoft is easily deployable and ready to use."
"Moogsoft's most valuable features are event management, correlation, and observability."
"Incident management is streamlined with Moogsoft. One standout feature is its unique situation-creation capability, differentiating it from other fault management tools. While other tools typically convert alarms directly into tickets or incidents, Moogsoft adds a middle layer where multiple alarms can be aggregated into one incident. Moogsoft's strong AI capabilities also allow it to correlate similar alarms automatically based on past experiences."
"I find the unsupervised learning algorithms for noise reduction particularly valuable. The algorithm's ability to identify and reduce noise is a feature we initially liked. The anomaly detection feature is excellent for maintaining system uptime as it helps identify problems quickly."
"The Event Management feature is quite valuable."
"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."
"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."
"PagerDuty helps you bifurcate teams and redirect alerts to specific teams"
"A cool feature is that it helps us to understand the flow of the alert. If the alert was coming to the current on-call and he didn't catch the call or didn't notice it for any reason, it starts being escalated automatically, according to the escalation schedule, or to other teammates. You can see the flow very easily on your phone or via the website, if you want to do a post-mortem."
"The alerts are immediate in this solution, which allows us to respond to errors quickly."
"The inbound integrations that PagerDuty provides with most of the DevOps tools are valuable."
"It has scaled well for us."
"Alert deduplication and noise reduction for alerts are the major features that I found useful."
 

Cons

"I would like to see additional reports or information on the dashboard that includes metrics about CPU usage and memory."
"The unsupervised learning algorithms in Moogsoft are valuable, but the learning processes, run book creation, and neural feedback areas could be improved."
"Some additional API interfacing would be great to enable getting the data out of AIOps programmatically."
"The solution's initial setup is complex, and it should be made easier."
"They are very much dependent on open-source technologies like RabbitMQ message bus. They are using open-source databases, Apache Tomcat, NGINX. If we face any issues with Apache Tomcat or the RabbitMQ message bus, then we do not get support from them. We have to troubleshoot it ourselves."
"Moogsoft is dependent on external products to do orchestration and SOP-based functionality."
"The documentation and flexibility for generic integration could be improved."
"The product roadmap doesn't align with our roadmap."
"PagerDuty's webhooks need some improvement."
"They could include incident merging and alert grouping features in the product."
"It cannot be integrated with our upgraded Jira system."
"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."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"Operations are somewhat limited by their integration package. For example, integrating with Jira was problematic until they updated to a better plug-in."
"PagerDuty should be integrated with other tools, so it can import the IT roster automatically. Our other rules continue to work once they're configured, but the roster must be added manually."
"It is difficult to send underlying trace files or statuses using PagerDuty."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As for pricing, Moogsoft recently updated their pricing model, and we're still evaluating it. It's an area where clarity is needed with the new alert-based pricing model."
"The solution is very good from a business impact point of view, but it's quite expensive because it's an enterprise-grade solution."
"It's a very cost-effective and competitive product."
"Moogsoft's licensing is consumption-based, so the price may increase depending on the environment."
"When compared to other solutions, it is quite good."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."
"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
"The price is very high."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."
"If we wanted phone calls or additional SMSs, we would have to pitch up for those. They give us so many per month per user, then we have to pay extra if it goes over that."
"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
