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.

Unified incident response has reduced alert noise and improves on-call focus and coordination
PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its noise reduction by making deduplication and suppression more automated instead of manually tuned, and the service dependency graph could be more intuitive with cleaner visuals and easier-to-understand root cause tracing during major incidents. Automation could go further with smarter runbook triggers and AI-driven suggestions to help find root causes, which could save a lot of time for engineers who are struggling to understand what is actually happening. These AI capabilities could lower the time by maybe 50–60%. Analytics and reporting could be more flexible, allowing custom dashboards and filters and team-level MTTA and MTTR breakdowns, so that it is segregated based on teams and it is much easier to have custom dashboards for the teams to understand more. Alert storms were a recurring frustration for the on-call team, and escalation overrides and service dependency graphs can get a bit confusing in larger environments. More customizable analytics and smarter automation would make the platform even easier, more flexible and more powerful for the team to understand. PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its analytics flexibility with customized dashboards and AI capabilities to be more trained and more reliable. Service dependency mapping can also feel cluttered in big environments, making it harder to trace upstream and downstream impacts during bigger incidents. We implemented PagerDuty Operations Cloud's AI to help with alert grouping and early incident insights, but accuracy was not consistent enough to rely on during critical events. It occasionally grouped unrelated alerts or missed correlations, which limited the operational efficiency gains we expected. The on-call team still depended heavily on manual triage because AI suggestions were not always aligned with the real root cause. Overall, AI added some value but it has not yet reached the reliability needed to significantly improve the incident response efficiency. It needs more training or more work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The rotation and scheduling are beneficial."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert."
"We went with OpsGenie because it was simpler to integrate with Atlassian products."
"Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."
"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."
"Regarding advice, it is a good tool, and the integration is seamless."
"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."
"The real-time notification is top-notch, and critical warnings reach the right person right away without delay."
"It's improved our organization by making the on-call lifestyle less stressful."
"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."
"With PagerDuty Operations Cloud's alert reduction feature, I have noticed that it helped me prevent costly incidents in my organization."
"The most valuable feature of PagerDuty is its integration with other tools, such as Amazon AWS, to receive notifications or create automatic instances."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been highly beneficial, preventing numerous outages through prompt response and incident alerting capabilities, demonstrating significant ROI."
"Notification is the most valuable feature."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has improved my team's ability to focus on core tasks rather than routine issues primarily due to its availability and reliability."
 

Cons

"The installation of other applications is difficult in Opsgenie. I would like to see more flexible reporting methodologies. Scalability and pricing also need to be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in reporting capabilities that could provide additional value."
"OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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. There are lots of limitations in the cloud version The add-on or features that work with the Data Center versions are not compatible with the cloud version."
"The biggest area for improvement with PagerDuty is noise suppression."
"Even though PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a strong platform, many things can be improved."
"The assigning and editing of the escalation policies could be improved."
"There is room for improvement with the time schedule. The way the schedule currently works is you assign all the team members in one schedule and it automatically spreads them around throughout the schedule... It would be better to be able to edit the schedule and place my team members where I want, or at least to have that option in addition to the automatic process."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself functions well, but our setup sometimes feels irritating."
"I think PagerDuty Operations Cloud can be improved cost-wise as it is a bit high when compared with Opsgenie services that are offered by Jira, so I think if you can manage that part it will be good."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be improved with clearer instructions for beginners."
"It always needs more integrated applications, especially if you are not a software developer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
