Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 2, 2025

Salesforce Service Cloud and Opsgenie are contenders in the customer relationship management and IT service management automation categories, respectively. Salesforce Service Cloud seems to have the advantage in CRM features, while Opsgenie excels in alert management and integration capabilities.

Features: Salesforce Service Cloud provides a customizable CRM platform with automation tools, seamless integration capabilities, and a robust Service Console. It includes a Knowledge Base and customer community features. Opsgenie specializes in alert management, on-call rotation scheduling, and integrates well with monitoring tools, allowing for precise incident response and management.

Room for Improvement: Salesforce Service Cloud requires enhancements in mobile app stability, email integration, and reporting functionalities. Opsgenie could benefit from a more intuitive user interface, improved documentation, and smoother incident management features to enhance its service offering.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Salesforce Service Cloud supports public cloud and hybrid deployments, generally receiving positive feedback for customer service and technical support. Opsgenie offers flexible deployment options, including on-premises and private cloud, with support that is regarded as adequate but can improve response times and overall customer service experience. Both platforms have active user communities providing additional support.

Pricing and ROI: Salesforce Service Cloud is perceived as expensive, ideal for large enterprises with flexible pricing based on features and user count, offering significant ROI through enhanced productivity. Opsgenie offers more affordable, clear per-user pricing tiers, making it suitable for various business sizes, and it is cost-effective for alert management, though some view it as costly given its scope.

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.

Lead Solutions Architect at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees

Leverage top-tier automation capabilities while streamlining complex naming conventions

Salesforce Service Cloud offers pre-built packages that are best in class. The automation capabilities have evolved over time, consolidating previous features into Salesforce flows. However, these work best when everything is within Salesforce Service Cloud and everyone has a license. Without an enterprise MuleSoft license, external interactions complicate automation significantly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration feature is the most valuable. It provides a lot of customizations for the integrations we use."

"OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets. Automation, like scripting, is also possible. There are also features for maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how it was resolved previously. If there are similar kinds of tickets, we can look at how a person is working on that ticket. If he doesn't have any idea, you can look back at a similar ticket and solve it as the previous person did it."

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

"Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting."

"One of the features my team found valuable in Opsgenie is the alert. There's also the option to install an app on your phone, so even if you don't have any mobile reception, but you're still connected to WiFi, you still get the alerts via the app, not just via phone call or SMS. The combination of both options was very useful because sometimes you have data and you don't have coverage by mobile, or vice versa. To have both options in terms of receiving alerts was very useful. Another valuable feature of Opsgenie is the on-call rotation with alerts. I belonged to a small team of three, then the team expanded into four members where everyone was on a weekly on-call basis, with each team member having a week of being on-call. At first, it was a bi-weekly on-call rotation, then it became once every three weeks, and after that, it was once every four weeks, so the on-call rotation with an alert feature was useful. My previous company had two separate environments, on the cloud and on-premises. My team was in charge of the on-premise environment, so there was a queue for my team with everything in Opsgenie, then the DevOps team had its queue on a group of infrastructure related to the cloud. Each team had its own devices organized in a group that was only managed per team. The on-call rotation was also separated between groups. Opsgenie is a very convenient solution for both teams in my previous company."

"Opsgenie is easy to configure and use."

"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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions."

"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians."

"We use Salesforce Service Cloud for lead management and opportunity management."

"We used Salesforce Service Cloud for CRM (customer relationship management) cases and general sales cases."

"Clients gain productivity and save time with Salesforce Service Cloud."

"Salesforce Service Cloud offers several notable features. It includes robust case routing, escalation capabilities, entitlement mapping, and entanglement rules. Additionally, it supports Computer Telephone Integration (CTI), which allows for automatic case generation when a call is made to a designated number."

"The main benefit is having it integrated with the core Salesforce."

"It integrates with all our platforms, providing a comprehensive view of the customer."

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."

"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."

"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. 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."

"They could introduce many more features."

"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."

"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."

"The user interface could be improved."

More Opsgenie cons

"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."

"There are some issues with backend connectivity in Salesforce Service Cloud."

"Reporting could be improved."

"The governor limits are a troubling feature of Salesforce"

"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."

"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."

"I face challenges with Salesforce Service Cloud because it requires and is difficult to customize."

"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

More Opsgenie pricing and cost advice

"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."

"The price is too expensive."

"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"

"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."

"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."

"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."

"Salesforce is very cost-effective."

Service Cloud

Overview

Users are empowered to manage their contact details and notification preferences in a single location, hence the administrators don't have to maintain this information at each application. OpsGenie is a cloud based service with reliable, distributed architecture that is replicated in multiple data centers, and monitored around the clock. The lifecycle for each alert, notifications, actions taken by users, are recorded and reported to enable admins to easily analyze what happened. No more wasting time, digging up log files. No more finger pointing.

Most enterprises employ multitude of tools for IT management: for monitoring, ticketing, configuration and change management, etc. Although each of these tools may be individually capable of sending notifications via email or SMS, it is a burden for administrators to maintain the same information in each of these multiple, disparate systems.

OpsGenie enables organizations to consolidate notification management into a single management system. OpsGenie enables users to maintain their own contact details and preferences in one place, eliminating duplication of data, reducing administrative overhead.

Atlassian

Service Cloud is fully customizable support and help desk that provide faster, smarter service that will increase loyalty, retention, and satisfaction.
