Senior SRE at IBM
Automated incident workflows have transformed on-call operations and improved response times
Since I host our internal services, I want more customization relating to our specific use case. The needed improvements include the configuration process, as new team members face a steep learning curve to understand the platform. With many new members, they need training to set up runbook workflows, event orchestration, and manage complex on-call schedules across 23 services, making it a challenge for new users. Additionally, I feel the web interface requires improvements. I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud as eight out of ten because the cons include a complex configuration process and high costs for each add-on that I try to obtain, making subscriptions costly, along with limited customization in certain incident workflows. The primary reasons for rating it an eight include the complex configuration which makes it challenging for new users, as well as their difficulty in setting up advanced runbook workflows and managing complex on-call setups. The web user interface also requires improvement. Although I receive alerts via the mobile app, which is beneficial for handling schedule maintenance, the same features should be added to the web interface. Customization issues persist, such as the inability to clone entire schedules as part of the workflows, and I want to keep incidents open for a specified duration, neither of which I can currently customize. Thus, I raised a ticket with PagerDuty Operations Cloud to address these concerns. Furthermore, the cost is high, making it one of the more expensive incident management solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to be immediately paged when a system or service is down, enabling us to quickly respond and provide updates to the organization on issues and their resolution."
"Notification is the most valuable feature."
"While using PagerDuty hasn't resulted in a decrease in issues, it has allowed us, in combination with the monitoring systems, to know about issues before customers are alerting us."
"PagerDuty let us set up rosters based on our shifts, assign a hierarchy for how the calls should be escalated and the number of times the call will be transferred between people before it is answered, and it makes it easy to access an agent via mobile phone."
"PagerDuty has allowed us to identify issues and incidents within the infrastructure that we wouldn't have noticed otherwise."
"Having an automated system to get the right person out of bed when required is priceless."
"PagerDuty is very stable and very reliable."
"It is stable, it is rapidly growing, and all the features are being built in a stable way for the users to work with."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

Cons

"The solution does not code all alerts correctly so sometimes you get false positives or multiple alerts for the same issue."
"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."
"It would be nice if the app could somehow receive the notification of an incident and allow you to customize the warning method on the device end."
"Because of the way you have to structure the rosters, if an engineer has to go on leave, you can't just go in and reassign or take this person out of all of the different rosters that they're in."
"PagerDuty's webhooks need some improvement."
"I would defiantly like to see more integration with other systems. This would really add some value for us."
"This solution works best in conjunction with a proper logging system, which can be an additional cost to organizations."
"The product can be improved by including out-of-the-box integration with other standard tools used in our fields such as Confluence, and Jira."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."
"There is a license needed to use PagerDuty."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"The price is very high."
"If we wanted phone calls or additional SMSs, we would have to pitch up for those. They give us so many per month per user, then we have to pay extra if it goes over that."
"Licensing costs are around $700 a month, and the only additional costs, are phone costs in some instances."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
