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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Taking into account that Opsgenie "saved" many devices in our environment from getting overheated, which would have caused a major outage in our HQ offices, I believe the monthly subscription cost was way lower than the return."

"This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."

"Regarding advice, it is a good tool, and the integration is seamless."

"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."

"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."

"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert."

More Opsgenie pros

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps us manage production incidents beyond service outages, mostly high CPU utilization where we set alerts, application failures, pod issues in Kubernetes, and infrastructure-related alerts."

"Its alerting capabilities, simple user interface, stability and functionality is exactly what we need."

"Alert deduplication and noise reduction for alerts are the major features that I found useful."

"It is stable, it is rapidly growing, and all the features are being built in a stable way for the users to work with."

"PagerDuty's best features are the dedicated application that allows me to reach my engineers immediately and the ability to directly assign specific tasks to individuals and have them report back."

"The most valuable feature is definitely the flexibility of the schedule. The mobile app is quite also good for what we do: for receiving alerts, acknowledging, assigning, adding new responders. It has rich features for our needs."

"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."

"Now, we don't have to think about it; we can simply set it up in PagerDuty and it works, with the escalation and everything still functioning reliably based on the configuration we set up six months to one year ago."

More PagerDuty Operations Cloud pros

Cons

"I would like to see reports that can provide us with integration with Jira or with another management solution, which I'm not sure Opsgenie provides. The integration is possible, however as Opsgenie reports is an area that needs to be addressed. An alert is received, and Opsgenie will immediately generate a ticket or card for that issue, track it, and provide a follow-up. Opsgenie will also track an issue's whole life cycle. This is something that I would like to see in Opsgenie."

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

"They could introduce many more features, which we believe is on their roadmap."

"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."

"Typically, the alerts are vague at times, and when the automated callers begin reading that alert, it does not make sense to us."

"It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now."

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

"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."

More Opsgenie cons

"Currently, it only notifies us about incident management."

"The solution's analytics are okay. I don't think the features, at this point, give you a lot of insights."

"Our developers noted that integrating incident bots or chatbots created with AI tools occasionally presents challenges with PagerDuty Operations Cloud."

"The solution does not code all alerts correctly so sometimes you get false positives or multiple alerts for the same issue."

"Has a complex setup and advanced features feels hidden on complexity."

"I would like the UI to be more intuitive. I would like to be able to group or color-code the discoveries. When you create a system, you have a listing of all the different configurations. You can list them by teams, but some additional color coding would be helpful. I would break it down by incident controls. In other words, it should be broken down it into response teams and engineering divisions."

"The pricing for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit expensive, especially for startups like us, compared to the other platform which I mentioned, which is Rootly."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud can be improved by adding more features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 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 fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."

"We have opted for a yearly subscription. The initial quote given was about $29, but I don't know the actual price. There might be some negotiations during renewal."

"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."

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."

"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."

"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."

"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."

"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."

"The price is very high."

"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."

"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
