After implementing PagerDuty Operations Cloud's runbook automation, I have reduced the response time from over 20 minutes to less than two minutes, saving approximately 80 to 90 percent of the time and making mean time to resolve significantly faster.

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 main thing is that sometimes we receive some alerts continuously, which may be noisy.

If I have to say, maybe we could increase the acknowledgement time. Fifteen minutes is less in my opinion.

We do not experience downtime. However, I have observed one issue: we integrated with LogicMonitor, which is a monitoring tool, and alerts come from there to PagerDuty Operations Cloud. When alerts are resolved in LogicMonitor, they should also resolve in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but sometimes they do not resolve.

Thank goodness it was not a Severity 1 incident for us, but two days was unacceptable at that point.

I have observed that MTTR is very slow, and wrong escalation sometimes routes alerts to the wrong team rather than the proper team.

While PagerDuty has comment functionality, a chat option would be a potential addition.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud needs improvements because sometimes integrations are not very seamless and misbehave.
