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.

Senior SRE at IBM

Automated incident workflows have transformed on-call operations and improved response times

Since I host our internal services, I want more customization relating to our specific use case. The needed improvements include the configuration process, as new team members face a steep learning curve to understand the platform. With many new members, they need training to set up runbook workflows, event orchestration, and manage complex on-call schedules across 23 services, making it a challenge for new users. Additionally, I feel the web interface requires improvements. I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud as eight out of ten because the cons include a complex configuration process and high costs for each add-on that I try to obtain, making subscriptions costly, along with limited customization in certain incident workflows. The primary reasons for rating it an eight include the complex configuration which makes it challenging for new users, as well as their difficulty in setting up advanced runbook workflows and managing complex on-call setups. The web user interface also requires improvement. Although I receive alerts via the mobile app, which is beneficial for handling schedule maintenance, the same features should be added to the web interface. Customization issues persist, such as the inability to clone entire schedules as part of the workflows, and I want to keep incidents open for a specified duration, neither of which I can currently customize. Thus, I raised a ticket with PagerDuty Operations Cloud to address these concerns. Furthermore, the cost is high, making it one of the more expensive incident management solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."

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

"Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."

"The solution has helped us stay alert on incidents and improved our response times."

"One of the reasons for implementing OpsGenie was to have a completely automated system where there is no need to monitor and call someone if something breaks down."

"OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets, automation like scripting, and maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how they were resolved previously."

"I am a Jira admin. The best feature for me is that I do not need to write different code when I integrate with multiple applications. OpsGenie made it easier for me. All I need to do is create a field and give a value. I need to set the parameters and give a value. I can write only one script so that it directly interacts with my Jira and feeds all the data."

"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."

More Opsgenie pros

"With the multiple methods of notification and the escalation policies, we can always be certain that someone will get the message."

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has a very good impact on our company, especially regarding business and service level agreements, as well as reducing incident resolution time."

"It integrates with multiple applications and is highly customizable, with policies, escalation procedures, and an event routing tool that ensures contacting the right person."

"The most valuable thing I appreciate about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is the escalation process, where it automatically escalates incidents."

"Having a tool like PagerDuty to support us from that standpoint is really key, so that we can perform well when we have issues."

"I'd rate the solution ten out of ten."

"Just the ability to be able to respond quicker to the issues that are coming up gives the company a better mean times resolution resolution, which is going to improve upon the return on investment for what we spend on PagerDuty."

"PagerDuty let us set up rosters based on our shifts. We could assign a hierarchy for how the calls should be escalated and the number of times the call will be transferred between people before it is answered. It makes it easy to access an agent via mobile phone."

More PagerDuty Operations Cloud pros

Cons

"They could introduce many more features."

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

"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."

"We can't rely on the output that we're getting from the platform."

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

"It should have a lot of plugins. It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now. It should have AWS, Azure, and Google cloud integrations. It should also provide automation, that is, it should open somewhere, like orchestration. Something like the orchestration that ServiceNow is doing. That would be great. Orchestration is the main thing. If OpsGenie comes with stack down feature, not completely but some part of it, and orchestration is there, that would be beneficial."

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

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

More Opsgenie cons

"They could include incident merging and alert grouping features in the product."

"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."

"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."

"PagerDuty's webhooks need some improvement."

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

"The assigning and editing of the escalation policies could be improved."

"I can only suggest cosmetic improvements to the recorded voice when responding to a page. It should be less angry."

"The biggest area for improvement with PagerDuty is noise suppression. There have been a handful of incidents through our use of PagerDuty over the years where one incident may lead to 30 to 50 pages because you're monitoring all these different things, and each thing is an individual page. There should be the ability to set up paging tiers and group correlations between some of the different pages. That is something that would be really valuable. We should be able to say this one page may have a group or a tree of effective other pages that may tier off of it. So, if you see those pages independently, go ahead and alarm, but if you see this plus that, don't do that."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."

"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."

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

"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."

"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 on the lower side; I would rate it a six out of ten, with ten being low price, which indicates good affordability."

"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."

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

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

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

"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."

"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."

"The price is very high."

"The cost is based on the package you select."
