Helps in identifying potential impact and allows us to see where our assets are in relation to a risk event
I personally love VCC because I just think there needs to be more data to support it so we can be more proactive and easily assess the impact. So, I appreciate the visual aspect, but it has to have the data to support it. It has proved very useful, particularly because we have a GSOC that's not technically 24/7. We do have an 800 number that people call 24/7. If something happens, they can easily send Everbridge a notification to activate the team off hours. It is useful in that respect too. We use it in conjunction with teams, but off-hours and for additional people outside of the core team, we use Everbridge, which is useful.

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.

Automated alert routing has improved incident response and now enables faster on-call collaboration
Some of the features of Splunk On-Call include automated alert routing and escalation that will ensure the right people get notified immediately. Also, on-call scheduling and rotation management. This feature makes managing shifts and coverage very easy. Another feature is real-time incident collaboration and communication. This will help bring the right team together fast. Another feature is alert de-duplication and suppression. This will reduce the noise, so only meaningful alerts reach the on-call staff. The feature I rely on the most in my daily work is automated alert routing and escalation. It ensures that critical issues go directly to the right engineer without delay, which saves time and prevents the incident from being missed. This has been the biggest contributor to improving our response times. The noise reduction feature is also very helpful. By filtering out non-critical or duplicate alerts, Splunk On-Call keeps our team focused on what actually matters and prevents alert fatigue. Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents. It also reduced alert fatigue and made our on-call process more reliable and predictable. Our average incident response time dropped by around 20% to 25%, mainly because alerts reached the right people faster. We also noticed fewer unnecessary escalations, and missed alerts almost completely stopped after we implemented automated routing and escalation policies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The post mortem reports are descriptive, indicating who joined the call and when."
"The email integration, the ability to launch from other programs using email triggers, was the primary reason we got the solution and it's been really helpful"
"We have been able to quantify improvements in escalation and time to resolution, as it has decreased timeframes and improved resolution by 35 - 40 percent."
"The response time is real-time alerting. It is very helpful, because it makes things a lot easier. All we have to do is put a circle around a geo-fence and shoot off a message."
"A robust solution with multiple modules that can be leveraged."
"We are saving probably 100 plus hours of outage time within our customer-facing products per month, which is significant."
"I think it's a robust solution with multiple modules that can be leveraged."
"The most valuable feature is automated escalation, as it eliminates a manual process which is prone to errors."
"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."
"We can rely on the product to organize our schedules; we don't have to think about who will be next on-call because the system already gives us the answer and saves us time organizing rotations."
"The solution has helped us stay alert on incidents and improved our response times."
"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."
"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."
"The product is integrated into almost all services, including Grafana, AWS, and others."
"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 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."
"My VP of Operations is ecstatic about the VictorOps product."
"Its the best solution of its type out there, you should go for it."
"We are very satisfied with the tool."
"I would recommend VictorOps for global distributed support teams."
"Splunk On-Call has helped my organization to improve response times, reduce missed alerts, and coordinate teams more efficiently during incidents."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"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

"I would like to have a little bit more flexibility in the member portal."
"I've worked closely with Everbridge teams in my previous positions too, and the one thing I would like to see is the distance. You have to measure it, and it's not really accurate. If we could have a general distance within the alert itself to tell us where the closest asset is, it would be useful. That's one thing I'd like to see."
"One thing that could be improved would be to enable the mobile app to more easily display published calendars via the Member Portal."
"You have to create schedules in Everbridge. It would be better if it could tie into an existing solution, such as Microsoft Exchange or Google Calendar, so that you don't have to create it in both places. That's one thing it lacks right now. You can't just say, "Hey, look at this Microsoft calendar. That's what we want to use." You have to create it in Everbridge."
"We did have one problem within the first 30 to 60 days of going live where we had a day-and-a-half outage of the platform, and frankly, that's unacceptable."
"Lacks ability to customize messages."
"The incident templates can get complex and hard to troubleshoot, so it helps to focus on keeping it simple."
"The company would like to have super detailed analytics, as we integrate this with our security software."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."
"Typically, the alerts are vague at times, and when the automated callers begin reading that alert, it does not make sense to us."
"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."
"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."
"They could introduce many more features, which we believe is on their roadmap."
"It should also come with cloud integrations, which are not that great with OpsGenie as of now."
"The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."
"We chose to move away from the HP product as far as our monitoring goes and dealing with system-generated alerts, simply because it took too much time and effort to manage the APM platform."
"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."
"One area for improvement would be enhancing the mobile app experience."
"Many years ago, when VictorOps was a standalone company, when it was not part of Splunk, their support was more dedicated for us."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"Another example is that you cannot check the incidents created in VictorOps from the previous Friday."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The end result is that we have driven down our MTTR by an average of about 45 minutes across all major outages. That is very substantial considering the cost of every minute of outage can be thousands of dollars lost."
"We thought the base product was pretty reasonable. It can pricey once you start adding stuff on."
"The current pricing model is adequate. We feel that the pricing model for our IT Alerting solution is competitive with similar solutions on the market."
"This product has helped us save $200,000 from being able to get rid of vendors and consolidate functionalities to doing incident reporting."
"Licensing cost is driven largely by the number of users in the platform including admins, group managers, and message senders, so you want to consider your needs there."
"Their call structure is based on how many people are IT alert people and who is on the calendar, and the cost will be driven by those numbers versus if you are using it for the non-IT alert. As you look at the competition and other vendors, make sure you truly understand your cost structure with them."
"The pricing was under $25 a month per user. We had about 1,000 defined users."
"When we did our contract, we did a three year contract with fixed pricing. We locked in the pricing for three years. As we have grown, we locked in pricing for additional units of employees."
"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'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."
"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."
"From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."
"The solution's prices are exorbitant."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive."
