PagerDuty Operations Cloud serves as an alerting tool for our organization. Whenever applications or any protection systems are down, we get notified via email and mobile. My current role in PagerDuty Operations Cloud is an admin role. Whenever there is a new user or any higher management requirement to grant email access to a particular server or program, we receive the request via the team, and they mention which team they are from and their role. Based on that information, if I get one email ID with a name, I have to enable the ID, then I have to add the name to PagerDuty Operations Cloud for the particular program. When the application is down or any issue is triggered, the user will be notified via mobile and email.

Reliable alerts have reduced incident response time and save hours each week
Pros and Cons
- "PagerDuty Operations Cloud is definitely an important tool, because with our investment we can save time and resolve issues quickly, saving around 30 minutes for each incident which adds up to almost 40 to 50 hours saved in a week."
- "Currently, it only notifies us about incident management."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud has several valuable features. We have many monitoring tools, but the major use of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is that when a production alert comes in, it previously went mostly to Outlook and Slack. Once PagerDuty Operations Cloud came into the picture, sometimes we are not in shift or on weekends, or we might be outside. During that time, we would miss most of the issues. However, if PagerDuty Operations Cloud is enabled, it will notify us on mobile. We will get SMS as well via PagerDuty Operations Cloud. We have to know the criticality of the request, and based on that, if critical servers or issues arise, we have to work and fix them immediately. PagerDuty Operations Cloud mostly notifies us for issues based on priority.
The benefits I have seen so far from using PagerDuty Operations Cloud solution include many solutions. The major use is monitoring alerts. Another benefit is on-call scheduling, which goes directly to the right person. We also have an option called the escalation policy. If I am the primary one and I don't acknowledge the call, it redirects to my secondary person. If the secondary is unresponsive, it moves to the tertiary person. This is a major feature. Once we acknowledge the alert, it sends to the next level. It helps in easily coordinating incidents, such as identifying whether it is an issue or an outage. The notification aspect is a major use I see in PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
What needs improvement?
Currently, improvements for PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be made. It mainly acts as a monitoring alert tool. We need to prioritize tickets according to P1, P2, P3, and perhaps create a dashboard for program-based insights. Additionally, features related to hardware and software agents should be included. Currently, it only notifies us about incident management. If we install an agent or similar tool to collect data from a server at the hardware or application level, we could present multiple metrics in the same tool, which would be more beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud solution for the last couple of years.

Learn what your peers think about PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: May 2026.
900,125 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
AI features within PagerDuty Operations Cloud will definitely benefit operations. However, because our project involves huge tools in a large environment, they may have planned to implement AI later. This feature would certainly reduce work, duplicates, and incidents. AI validates first-level issues, and once an issue is resolved, it won't return to us. If the issue persists and the user cannot fix it, it will come back to us. This is a good option, but our organization needs a process and approval to implement it. We may do that in the future.
How are customer service and support?
We have not directly used PagerDuty Operations Cloud support, but we are satisfied with the support we receive. I always get answers to the questions I post. I would rate them an eight out of ten because I'm not entirely sure if I reached PagerDuty Operations Cloud support or third-party support through Slack.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
If I remember correctly, our organization used Dynatrace before PagerDuty Operations Cloud. We have multiple tools for monitoring in our client's project. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is not a replacement for any tool. We also use Grafana dashboards and CloudWatch. We have not transitioned from any tools as far as I know.
How was the initial setup?
Implementation of PagerDuty Operations Cloud in our organization occurred previously. We recently took over the team, so we did not have any opportunity for implementation. Whatever features are available, we use them, add users, and alter settings. In the future, if I get the opportunity, I would definitely implement how we can deploy the application in the cloud and manage those processes.
What was our ROI?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is definitely an important tool. With our investment, we can save time and resolve issues quickly. It is critical from my viewpoint.
We definitely save time with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. It saves more than half an hour—30 minutes—for each incident. For example, if we receive 10 incidents today, with PagerDuty Operations Cloud it will notify us immediately. This allows us to troubleshoot and fix the issue efficiently. For each ticket, we save around 30 minutes. That is almost 40 to 50 hours saved in a week.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The main differences between Dynatrace, Grafana, and PagerDuty Operations Cloud for monitoring are that both PagerDuty Operations Cloud and Dynatrace are monitoring tools. However, Dynatrace is a full-stack monitoring and observability tool, while PagerDuty Operations Cloud is mainly an incident alerting tool. Dynatrace is known for good detecting capabilities and covers multiple technologies, including cloud, on-premises, and databases. PagerDuty Operations Cloud focuses on incident alerting and routing. Both have AI capabilities and can help with root cause analysis, yet Dynatrace is typically used by SREs and platform teams, while PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used by on-call engineers and operation teams.
What other advice do I have?
We have not used any AI agent. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is the only tool we are using.
There is an option to see insights from AI, but our role is very limited. We only cover particular scenarios, so we don't use that option.
I know how we can use AI for incident response in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but in my current organization, I don't have the opportunity to work with that. However, I am updating myself and going through information on the internet about AI in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. We can enable it for validating duplicate issues and when we get defined issues. If we know the troubleshooting process for an issue, we can use AI to do the first level of implementation. If the issue persists, we can address it. We can also use AI to suggest responses, and if we get an alert, AI can provide suggestions or references to resolve it, as well as post root cause content.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is definitely a useful tool because I have heard about it recently. It helps us resolve critical alerts efficiently, benefiting my team and my managers in addressing issues. I would rate its performance well, and if it scales up with more technologies and features, it would encourage wider adoption among teams. In my previous company, it was not well-known. Promoting it could increase its usage. I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud an eight out of ten for overall performance.

Runbook automation has reduced incident response time and now improves uptime and collaboration
Pros and Cons
- "My advice to others looking into using PagerDuty Operations Cloud is that it is one of the best tools in the market for production support and SRE engineers."
- "One suggestion for improving PagerDuty Operations Cloud is to provide more insights about incidents, such as root cause analysis or additional information, which could assist SRE teams in reducing remediation time and incident detection before jumping on a call."
What is our primary use case?
Our main use case for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is for alerting purposes whenever any kind of downtime or downstream incident happens with our application which causes any downtime, and PagerDuty Operations Cloud will alert us through calls and SMS so we can get notified and quickly remediate the issue.
A unique aspect of our main use case with PagerDuty Operations Cloud is using the Runbook flow. Whenever we experience a specific kind of incident, the Runbook will trigger automation to either remediate the issues or perform root cause analysis, thus enhancing our workflow automations.
What is most valuable?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps our team respond by increasing our response time. Whenever there is any incident, we will get notified and through PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we receive calls 24/7, allowing us to instantly get into a call or investigation and remediate the issue as early as possible. This way, PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps us reduce the MTTR and ensures our application is more reliable and resilient.
We have been using the Runbook automation feature for building automated flows that help us add extra monitoring for specific alerts or incidents and perform remediation tasks autonomously using this Runbook flow.
One feature I particularly appreciate about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is that it offers multiple notification options. I receive alerts via call as well as SMS, which is beneficial. If I miss the call, I may still receive the SMS and vice versa.
Through PagerDuty Operations Cloud, our MTTR has been reduced by at least 30% over the last year due to its instant notification features like SMS and calls, which help us jump on calls quickly to remediate issues. This reduction has impacted our application downtime, ensuring an uptime of approximately 99% throughout the year.
What needs improvement?
One suggestion for improving PagerDuty Operations Cloud is to provide more insights about incidents, such as root cause analysis or additional information, which could assist SRE teams in reducing remediation time and incident detection before jumping on a call.
From an integration point of view, everything is functioning well. However, we primarily use the desktop interface as our main tool, and adding more details on incidents directly from PagerDuty Operations Cloud's analysis would enhance the user experience.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for the last three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is absolutely stable. We have never experienced any downtime or latency issues from PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We don't have much insight on scalability, as a separate enterprise PagerDuty Operations Cloud team is responsible for handling all scaling activities.
How are customer service and support?
We have internal enterprise support within the application, which is very interactive. They escalate issues to the external PagerDuty Operations Cloud team when necessary, and they are very supportive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have not previously used a different solution. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is the first alerting tool I have been using since the beginning.
How was the initial setup?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud onboarding is pretty straightforward in our organization, as new candidates simply need to be part of specific Windows AD groups to complete the onboarding process and gain access.
What about the implementation team?
There are automations in our organization that connect PagerDuty Operations Cloud to other ticketing tools such as Jira and ServiceNow. Whenever an incident occurs, automation that uses the Runbook flow triggers to extract data from the PagerDuty Operations Cloud alert to create incidents and Jira tickets for the development team.
What was our ROI?
In terms of return on investment, we have reduced our MTTR by 30% in the last year, indirectly improving our application's uptime to nearly 99%, which enhances client experience and boosts our business.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have no personal experience with pricing, setup costs, or licensing, as a separate enterprise PagerDuty Operations Cloud team manages those processes.
What other advice do I have?
The escalation policies within PagerDuty Operations Cloud are user-friendly and customizable, allowing us to set up multi-level escalations from SRE engineers to SRE leads and then to management.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps our team collaborate during incidents by automatically updating incident status based on progress. We have alerting integrated with Slack for this, where incidents show as red when active, yellow when acknowledged, and green when resolved.
Regarding performance metrics, there is a dedicated enterprise PagerDuty Operations Cloud team that handles monitoring, so as an SRE, I don't need to manage these performance aspects myself.
My advice to others looking into using PagerDuty Operations Cloud is that it is one of the best tools in the market for production support and SRE engineers. It is essential for our operations, functioning as our bread and butter.
We have covered almost everything regarding PagerDuty Operations Cloud. It has been a great tool for SRE and production support teams, and we look forward to more features, especially with trending technologies like AI. I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

Automated incident workflows have reduced downtime and improve real-time on-call response
Pros and Cons
- "PagerDuty Operations Cloud is the best tool available, and I can confidently say it is the best tool for all aspects, not just incident management or escalation, but for all analytical functions as well."
- "I have observed that MTTR is very slow, and wrong escalation sometimes routes alerts to the wrong team rather than the proper team."
What is our primary use case?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used for production incident management to automate incidents when alerts come from our tools. When we have a critical issue and receive that alert and notification, we configure it accordingly. On-call scheduling, escalation policies, and tracking MTTR improvement are areas where we interact and interrogate with the tools. This approach reduces downtime, enables faster incident response, provides clear accountability, and improves reliability.
We support different clients including JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, PL, LPL, and Bank of America, though we are not a customer, partner, or reseller. More than 300 clients use the solution. In my company, we have 21 specialists working with PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
What is most valuable?
The best features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud are intelligent alerting, the code fixture, on-call scheduling, escalation capabilities, automation, runbooks, and integration. PagerDuty Operations Cloud has improved downtime mostly by 30 to 50%.
What needs improvement?
We are not using the autonomous AI agent in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and we have not integrated with AI Ops, which uses machine learning to group similar alerts automatically and suggest root cause analysis from past incidents. However, we are planning to implement this functionality.
Improvement in PagerDuty Operations Cloud should focus on areas where we need to reduce alert noise by filtering unnecessary alerts. PagerDuty should send actionable alerts, and grouping and suppression should be managed from PagerDuty's side.
Alert noise and grouping do not work together seamlessly in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but they should be consolidated. Alerts should be directed to the right person with real-time notification to ensure no critical issue is missed. Currently, when we receive alerts through call, SMS, or email, some users do not receive them, and the end client providing support to their clients may miss something important. This is the most critical feature that PagerDuty should improve.
Defining on-call scheduling and escalation by groups is also necessary. The duty roster should clearly indicate which alerts go to L1, L2, or L3 level support. Automatic escalation is not happening if nobody has responded to an alert, which I have observed.
While I did not deploy PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I performed the migration and reconfigured PagerDuty from scratch, then migrated to ServiceNow where I handled redeployment. I have observed that MTTR is very slow, and wrong escalation sometimes routes alerts to the wrong team rather than the proper team. On-call schedules should map the different teams we have, such as the application team, infrastructure team, or database team, who will take ownership. They need to align to the same team only for that incident. Proper service configuration for each application is required.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have almost three or more years of experience with PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is good. I have worked with Opsgenie, and PagerDuty is better than Opsgenie and ServiceNow as well. I can give a rating of a minimum of eight.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is also good.
How are customer service and support?
I can give PagerDuty Operations Cloud a rating of a minimum of 7.5 to eight for technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we were using PagerDuty Operations Cloud on-premises, and now we are planning to implement a hybrid approach with both cloud and on-premises solutions. I have worked with Opsgenie, and PagerDuty is better than Opsgenie and ServiceNow as well.
How was the initial setup?
Alert reduction in PagerDuty Operations Cloud does not help prevent costly incidents.
What other advice do I have?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is the best tool available. I have never worked with other solutions, but whenever I have had the chance to work with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, there is nothing on my mind to say negatively. I can confidently say it is the best tool for all aspects, not just incident management or escalation, but for all analytical functions as well. This is the best tool in the market.
Regarding maintenance, I have not observed that part of PagerDuty Operations Cloud directly. The on-site USA team is located in Jacksonville, and some team members might be handling maintenance from their end, but I am not certain about their specific involvement.
I would recommend PagerDuty Operations Cloud to other users because it provides the best tool for instant alerting, ensuring the right person responds, automatic escalation, and reducing downtime and alert noise. It integrates with different monitoring tools including DataDog, New Relic, Prometheus, and Grafana. The main strengths are real-time alerting, proper escalation, and faster incident response, which help reduce downtime and improve MTTR.
I have experience with MTTR in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Faster detection and alerting reduce MTTR significantly. When PagerDuty is integrated with other monitoring systems, alerts are real-time and actionable.
The end-to-end flow of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, including on-call schedules, escalation policies, and services, is excellent. It is highly reliable, offers easy escalation setup, and has strong interaction capabilities that reduce manual effort. However, the cost might be high.

Intelligent alerts have protected revenue and now drive faster incident triage with AI guidance
Pros and Cons
- "Since PagerDuty Operations Cloud has all the data and provides forward-looking resolution steps and information about which team was involved, PagerDuty AI helps us tremendously."
- "While PagerDuty has comment functionality, a chat option would be a potential addition."
What is our primary use case?
I have been using PagerDuty for the last nine years, but PagerDuty Operations Cloud for over one and a half years.
We work directly with merchants and need to trigger immediate alerts whenever there are 5xx errors or business errors like 4xx issues, as well as payment failures. We have configured every alert on a data log in some other monitoring tools that are integrated with PagerDuty. We receive alerts very immediately and trigger calls and Slack notifications. We integrate everything with PagerDuty and get notifications instantly, after which we start our triage process.
One use case I can mention is when we have an auth rate dip. Whenever there is an auth rate dip, we run into revenue losses with the merchants or partners that PayPal currently works with. Since everything is integrated, PagerDuty Operations Cloud catches when there is an auth rate dip for particular merchants and immediately triggers a notification for us. We then immediately dive into what the problem is and figure out how to fix the issue with the help of engineering teams.
What is most valuable?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is one of the best tools we have seen because it is already integrated with AI. We use it as a barrier tool, meaning it is the top tool that we consider and we get notified when there is an issue.
The best features include integrating with any tool and analyzing all previous alerts that have been stored. When an alert occurred on a particular day, we can immediately be notified on Slack with historical data and, since it is integrated with AI, we receive suggestions on how it can be resolved, how it was resolved earlier, and who resolved it. These are the very best features we have seen on PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
Since we have historical data showing when an alert has triggered on a particular day, we can turn it into a problem incident and work with the relevant teams to get it fixed completely so it does not reoccur. We are recording these kinds of repetitive issues using that feature.
It is very helpful that we can integrate with numerous monitoring tools such as Datadog, Splunk, and Kibana. Since we have integrated many other tools, I feel this is one of the features that PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers that makes it great.
What needs improvement?
Since PagerDuty Operations Cloud is already equipped with the latest technologies, I do not feel that anything more needs to be added, including summarizing content, as it is already available. Since it is already connected with AI, I do not feel that any other features could be added, so I do not have a concrete answer right now since we already have a number of features available and this is already a highly improved state.
While PagerDuty has comment functionality, a chat option would be a potential addition.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty for the last nine years, but PagerDuty Operations Cloud for over one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is highly accurate and there are no issues with the accuracy. It is highly reliable in terms of alert triggering and we do not get any false alarms, with only very minimal ones based on our internal signals. We do not have any complaints about PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud definitely increases efficiency for us. Since we do not have much manual work with workflows and everything is automated, it definitely helps.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We are using only PagerDuty and do not have any other tool in use. There is no other tool that can match PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
What was our ROI?
We definitely have an ROI in terms of earlier requiring multiple employees. Since we are now using AI, we have reduced our staffing needs and can save a lot of time and money as well.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There is no other tool that can match PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
What other advice do I have?
Earlier, PagerDuty Operations Cloud was just notifying incidents, but now it is showing historical data and we can see how it was resolved earlier and quickly get notes from that to resolve issues with the historical data and suggestions.
Earlier, when there was an auth rate dip or different signals that we received through Datadog or different platforms, we used to have some false alarms. Now, everything we are using is AI-based with agents that were configured with those signals. We have very accurately configured the AI using factors such as holiday seasons that will have high traffic, and everything was configured with historical data. We are getting very solid results and signals.
Since PagerDuty Operations Cloud has all the data and provides forward-looking resolution steps and information about which team was involved, PagerDuty AI helps us tremendously.
We definitely do not have any revenue loss since we are getting accurate signals and alerts and have a solution for all configured alerts.
Since it has all advanced features integrated with AI, I am really impressed with the ability to integrate with numerous monitoring tools very easily and the ease of onboarding any member to PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Setting up the alerts and everything is very easy with a number of monitoring tools. That is why I rated this product a nine out of ten. There is no other tool that can match PagerDuty Operations Cloud right now.
We have a number of layers in terms of governance and security since we are a payment gateway. PagerDuty Operations Cloud has its own governance and security at a great level, so we do not need to think about any security concerns from PagerDuty Operations Cloud governance.
Since it already has AI features, I am going to recommend others to use PagerDuty Operations Cloud. I rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Automated incident alerts have boosted checkout reliability and increased online sales
Pros and Cons
- "With the help of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we have been able to resolve a lot of issues in a much quicker fashion, and our overall sales has gone up 30% after the introduction of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which is a major advantageous situation for us."
- "Everything is fine now with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but one thing that they can do to improve is bring more integrations."
What is our primary use case?
We have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for about 1.5 to two years now.
Our main use case with PagerDuty Operations Cloud is to create automation workflows with the Gen AI capabilities present in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. We run it on our e-commerce platform to detect anomalies whenever they occur.
We want to firefight different situations, so with the Gen AI capabilities of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, whenever an issue arrives during the checkout of a customer, it immediately informs us and we create a Teams channel or a Slack channel to address the issue, determine what the issue is, and fix it immediately. It throws us alerts whenever it is necessary to keep the customer journey much more smooth and much more comfortable.
We particularly use this to avoid different incidents that the customers might face, such as payment database issues, checkout issues, or product not going into cart issues. With the Gen AI provided by PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we are able to sort out everything, get timely notifications, and make the customer's journey much more smooth.
What is most valuable?
One of the best features is the notification categorization that we can do with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which is the incident type categorization. We can select whether it is a major incident or a minor incident and based on what we select, a dedicated Slack channel or a dedicated Teams channel is created, which is much more helpful for us to diagnose the issue.
With the incident type categorization, we are able to prioritize which issues to sort out first and which issues to sort out later. This has helped us firefight the major issues on a first come first serve basis, so categorization helps us work more efficiently.
With the help of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we have been able to resolve a lot of issues in a much quicker fashion. Our overall sales has gone up 30% after the introduction of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which is a major advantageous situation for us.
This was majorly due to reduced downtime and faster response, which made the customer believe us more and made the customer's entire user journey much more smoother. This has directly impacted our sales, and the customer's journey within our e-commerce platform has been very quick with the reduced downtime, so this has helped us gain more sales.
What needs improvement?
Everything is fine now with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but one thing that they can do to improve is bring more integrations. As of now, only Slack and Teams integration is there for firefighting, and whenever an issue arrives, a notification is provided only on these platforms. A lot of different channels can also be looked into for integration to make the work much more smoother.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for about 1.5 to two years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very much stable. Being a cloud-front platform, there is no downtime, and with Amazon AWS hosting it, we find it very stable and the updates are also quite regular, which is something that we appreciate very much.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very easy to scale, given the Gen AI diagnostics and Gen AI metrics present, and automation is also there, which is quite helpful in scaling up the entire platform and the entire business journey for us as well.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is very great. We would rate it 10 on 10 because they are very knowledgeable people and we enjoy engaging with them a lot.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not use any prior solutions to this; we were doing it manually only, and PagerDuty Operations Cloud is one of the first softwares that we have used.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a positive return on investment with the help of PagerDuty Operations Cloud. We have seen an increase in our sales, a 30% increase in our overall sales with the help of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and also our sales cycle time has reduced a lot. We have seen a 50% improvement in our sales cycle as well with the help of PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate any other options. We just saw the PagerDuty Operations Cloud demo and we were impressed with it, and we went ahead with it as it was much more affordable and it solved our issues.
What other advice do I have?
The incident alert feature that PagerDuty Operations Cloud gives has helped us prevent a lot of issues which are about to come, and a lot of same mistakes have been stopped. The repeating of the same mistakes has been stopped, so this has helped us make new mistakes instead, which is much more better than making the same mistakes again and again. This has helped us grow our business in a much more efficient and much more quicker manner than we expected.
We would definitely recommend that others at least take the trial version of PagerDuty Operations Cloud because for every e-commerce business, or any business, an AI which is as powerful as PagerDuty Operations Cloud must be deployed so as to reduce the number of errors and to improve the overall business efficiency. We urge others to at least try using the trial version. We give this review an overall rating of 10.

Proactive alerts and clear incident documentation have improved our outage response times
Pros and Cons
- "PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps us monitor systems effectively, and we have not had any escalations to date."
- "It needs to be integrated with some other applications. I expect it to be one platform for all operations; it should not depend upon Splunk, DataDog, or other applications or tools."
What is our primary use case?
I handle level two operations. Whenever a major incident occurs or there is an outage, I am informed first via Splunk, DataDog, and PagerDuty. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used for alertness, and we have configured threshold values within it. I have the mobile application installed on my phone, so I receive information about any outage as soon as it occurs.
I work at Vodafone Intelligence Services, which is a subsidiary of Vodafone. We are a UK-based company that performs level one, level two, and level three operations for all European countries and some countries in India, including South Africa, Ghana, Spain, Egypt, Hungary, and the UK. These are our major customers. As part of operations, we have a team of about 15,000 people who manage the different markets and customers. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used everywhere across our organization, along with Splunk and AppDynamics.
What is most valuable?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used for monitoring, and we upload detailed documentation for major incidents such as P2 or P1 severity. We prepare documentation about the incident including what caused it, what the resolution time was, what the impact was, and everything else, which we then put on PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Apart from this, we do not use it for any other applications; it is used exclusively for monitoring purposes and setting up alertness.
We receive many benefits as part of L1 or L2 operations running 24 hours a day. As soon as there is an issue, if I am the first point of contact and I do not receive the call, it goes to the second person, my line manager. If my line manager does not pick up the phone, it goes to the third person, the skip-level manager. This is beneficial for us; even if it is a minor outage lasting 5 or 10 minutes, we receive an alert about it. If there is a major incident, we still receive the alert. Even if we are away from the system and not actively monitoring, we get the alert as soon as there is an outage.
We have the TIBCO integration layer, which is integrated with DataDog, and DataDog is integrated with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. When we ask PagerDuty Operations Cloud how many incidents are recurring with a specific service, it provides historical data showing how many times that service was down.
What needs improvement?
I do not see any improvements needed in how I use PagerDuty Operations Cloud; it is still good. We receive phone calls and emails, but the use case is limited. It needs to be integrated with some other applications. I expect it to be one platform for all operations; it should not depend upon Splunk, DataDog, or other applications or tools. Everything should be in one place to make things easier and reduce complexity. Otherwise, we have to manage different tools. I expect monitoring tools to be consolidated together for better results and less complexity.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for almost three and a half years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not seen any crashes in PagerDuty Operations Cloud; it is a good tool. The user interface is really what I appreciate most. It is not a tedious task to spend time on PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The smoothness, availability, and user interface are very friendly. I have used other tools like DataDog, which is a little more complex, but PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a good tool with a friendly UI.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud will grow; we do not have any concerns for this product. We need to put the system together for alerts, and it is good that PagerDuty Operations Cloud has the availability and will definitely grow over time.
How are customer service and support?
For technical support, we raise tickets most of the time and do not get in touch with them directly. However, we receive resolutions in a timely manner. The technical support team has expertise and answers our questions on the first attempt, keeping interactions short and simple, which makes a huge impact. If they sent us back and forth, it would make for lengthy discussions. When we raise an issue with PagerDuty Operations Cloud technical team, they respond effectively and keep it concise. We do not have to raise multiple tickets for the same issue; it is the best experience we have had.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Since I joined the organization, I have only three and a half years of experience, and from day one, I have used PagerDuty Operations Cloud. I am not sure how the team handled previous incidents before. I believe the organization has been associated with PagerDuty Operations Cloud for a longer period of time. I do not remember how the team managed incidents prior, but PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps us monitor systems effectively, and we have not had any escalations to date. We handle outages within 10 to 15 minutes. Customers may panic, but major escalations are managed effectively.
What other advice do I have?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used for monitoring, and detailed documentation is uploaded if there is a major incident such as P2 or P1 severity. Documentation about the incident is prepared including what caused it, what the resolution time was, what the impact was, and everything else, which is then put on PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Apart from this, it is not used for any other applications; it is used exclusively for monitoring purposes and setting up alertness. I would rate this product 8 out of 10.

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for about one year and a few months.
What other advice do I have?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a great operational efficiency tool, not just for paging.
It is very cost-effective, especially for organizations that are not limited by budgets.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud solves a lot of problems.
For example, if any issue arises during our online exam with our client, then PagerDuty Operations Cloud alerts the right team and the right people, and tasks are assigned so those problems can be resolved at the correct time and our real task does not get disrupted.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud's AI functionality has improved my team's ability to focus on core tasks rather than routine issues by removing routine alert triage.
The AI groups and de-duplicates alerts automatically, so our engineers are not manually sorting through twenty duplicate notifications for one root issue, allowing them to save a lot of time and focus on other strategic tasks, which improves productivity in my organization.
We are using PagerDuty Operations Cloud's autonomous AI agents for low-severity incidents, which automatically triage, correlate, and resolve known issues without human intervention, such as restarting services or acknowledging flapping alerts.
This has contributed to efficiency by cutting manual workload by thirty-five percent and also reducing MTTR for routine incidents.
The effectiveness of PagerDuty Operations Cloud's generative AI in providing insights for decision-making is effective during incidents.
The AI provides clear insights through incident summaries and what-changed analysis, helping us decide where to start troubleshooting instead of guessing, enabling us to make data-driven decisions easily, and providing actionable insights that improve response decisions.
The influence of PagerDuty Operations Cloud's embedded AI on revenue protection in terms of reducing alert fatigue and incident costs has a positive impact by reducing downtime risks and operational costs per incident.

Modern alert automation has boosted noc efficiency and now streamlines on-call workflows
Pros and Cons
- "Overall, it was a very effective product and really helped the productivity of the teams."
- "Initially it was a nightmare. There were a lot of bugs and we were getting a lot of alerts, and it was a very messy period."
What is our primary use case?
My network operation center team monitors network alerts and digital alerts and pages engineers on-call. My team utilized this tool for supporting the customer Nike, and I led the NOC operations at Cognizant. We had various sources like Splunk, New Relic, VeloCloud, and SolarWinds triggering alerts for device failures or high CPU utilization. PagerDuty Operations Cloud correlates all events from multiple sources and triggers alerts to the respective teams based on the orchestration set for the particular event. My team handles alerts through automated processes or through manual intervention and resolves incidents. They also use it to trigger on-call engineers through SMS or email.
When we receive alerts that do not need manual intervention for 15 to 20 minutes, we have automation in place to monitor that alert and resolve it if the issue is remediated automatically. We also had automated functions to check the reachability of devices where we have on-demand ping commands in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Event correlation helps to action bulk alerts in a single incident. For example, if one location is triggering alerts for multiple devices, all these alerts are correlated in a single incident, and the engineer will action and resolve the alerts.
We were getting a lot of alerts on a daily basis that do not require immediate intervention. We automated those alerts to be in a different queue where PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself monitors and resolves the alert. We also implemented agentic AI use cases for device interface alerts where the alerts are triggered and not immediately actioned by humans. PagerDuty Operations Cloud monitors and performs certain actions using agentic AI. If agentic AI is not able to clear the alerts, it creates an incident and ticket to the respective engineering team. If it is able to clear the issue, it automatically resolves the alert. This automation helped in reducing a lot of noisy alerts without manual intervention, and without it, a lot of manual intervention would have been required for engineers to perform basic triage.
What is most valuable?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud definitely helped us. In terms of governance, it had very good reports regarding the alerts we were receiving and calculating the times and effort. Overall, it was a very effective product and really helped the productivity of the teams.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud has correlation features which help us when we get a lot of alerts from one particular location. Based on the correlation values set for the alerts, it automatically correlates all the incidents. It also attaches the KB articles with troubleshooting steps
What needs improvement?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud was at a premature stage and we were not utilizing the GenAI features. I was using it for nearly two years, and we migrated from a different tool to PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Many of these features were in the development stage, so I cannot comment on its capability when it comes to GenAI.
We were not fully utilizing PagerDuty Operations Cloud capabilities as our environment was different. We were just migrating to PagerDuty Operations Cloud and it had been nearly two years. The first year went fully into migrating the product to the environment and fixing bugs, and the next year went into development and stabilizing the product in the customer environment. By the time we were planning to use AI and all the advanced features, I left the project for a different engagement and we do not use PagerDuty Operations Cloud in this current environment.
Initially it was a nightmare. There were a lot of bugs and we were getting a lot of alerts, and it was a very messy period. We had to manually keep track of all the alerts and share the feedback to get it sorted out. The user interface that was provided in the initial stages was not friendly, and it was very difficult to manage the alerts. In later stages, based on feedback, they improved the customization options and user interface, so initially it was not good.
For how long have I used the solution?
I was using it for nearly two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is reliable. We have faced only one or two outages in a span of two years and have not had a lot of outages that disrupt operations. I will not say it is 100% perfect, as we do run into bugs and disruptions. Overall, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a reliable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is highly scalable as it can be integrated with multiple platforms and multiple ticketing tools, and with automation and AI features available, it is highly scalable.
How are customer service and support?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud support was good compared to BigPanda. We had a better experience with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. There were some features that we requested and which they delayed in delivering, but they had their reasoning. Overall, the support by PagerDuty Operations Cloud was good. They had a monthly cadence call and a bi-weekly call with the tools and support team to address concerns on a weekly basis. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a good product for the organization and the support team is highly effective and responsive.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used a tool called BigPanda. BigPanda was very buggy and their support teams were not responding on time to some critical issues. It had issues in integrating with other tools like ServiceNow and we had a lot of issues with reporting. Reporting was not accurate and there were a lot of inaccurate data in the reporting, so we had difficulties in governing the team's performance. The customer decided that it was better to migrate to a different tool. We had PagerDuty Operations Cloud even during that period, just to page on-call engineers, but not as an event correlation platform tool. They provided a testing period for us and we decided to switch over to PagerDuty Operations Cloud rather than holding onto BigPanda.
What other advice do I have?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is already up to date with the requirements in terms of cloud automation and AI enhancement. It is a very modern solution for NOC operations and for paging on-call engineers. It has all the orchestration and automation functionalities required to perform triages for all types of incidents, and it can correlate using intelligence automatically. I do not see a lot of room for improvements, but there were some bugs that we were working on with the vendor. Overall as a product, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a very modern solution for NOC environments.
The user interface was very easy in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. There were some operation-related bugs that were not due to some configurations and challenges with integrating the tool with the customer environment. Overall as a product by default, it had a very user-friendly user interface.
I would recommend PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a good product for the organization. I gave this product a rating of 8.
