Featured Reviews

Pramodh M - PeerSpot reviewer
DevSecOps Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
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.
Ramani Happy - PeerSpot reviewer
Dev Ops Engineer at Data Elicit Solutions Pvt. Ltd.
Streamlined incident response has reduced downtime and improved on-call collaboration
A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak. If I want to deep dive into the on-call load, including MTTD and MTTR rates, I kind of have to export data and build my own dashboard, which is not as out-of-the-box as I would prefer. The UI has improved, but it still feels a little chunky in certain areas, particularly when managing schedules. When I have a lot of teams, it can get messy. Additionally, the pricing model is per user, which starts to get expensive as the team scales.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If you are using Atlassian products, Opsgenie is the best choice because the features are the same and it is bundled with Jira Service Management."
"Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."
"Regarding advice, it is a good tool, and the integration is seamless."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert."
"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."
"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."
"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."
"VictorOps has decreased the meantime to acknowledge an incident management process, our developers can be on-call faster when we are using this solution, and we can fix our incidents much quicker."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"Technical support is an A+ or a 10/10; if I could give an 11/10, I would, and it is what I love about them."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"My VP of Operations is ecstatic about the VictorOps product."
"Its the best solution of its type out there, you should go for it."
"It reduces the communication around CI/CD and production errors in about 90% of the cases and made our support tasks much easier."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The handshake with the monitoring tools can also be improved. When there were a bunch of alerts or the number of alerts was more than a thousand in a minute, OpsGenie wasn't able to handle everything properly. The handshake issues were there."
"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."
"They could introduce many more features."
"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."
"When there were a bunch of alerts or the number of alerts was more than a thousand in a minute, OpsGenie wasn't able to handle everything properly."
"A few things I would improve in Splunk On-Call. Honestly, the reporting and analysis side feels a bit weak."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"User management has to be improved and more user types need to be added as there is currently only Admin or User."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"The only feature that we are currently waiting on right now is really kind of an annoyance factor: when we get on the timeline on the main dashboard, there’s an ACK All button."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
 

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."
"The solution's prices are exorbitant."
"Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."
"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."
"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."
"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 fine. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being high price and ten being low price."
"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
