I would say the notifications, and the information that comes along with them.

The notifications, and the information that comes along with them are valuable.
Pros and Cons
- "Just the ability to be able to respond quicker to the issues that are coming up gives the company a better mean times resolution resolution, which is going to improve upon the return on investment for what we spend on PagerDuty."
- "We have seen some inconsistencies with receiving alerts on an iPhone versus an Android device from time to time."
What is most valuable?
How has it helped my organization?
We're able to respond to problems within the environment a lot quicker, because we get the notifications regularly, or when there is an issue, we're able to respond and get it resolved quickly.
What needs improvement?
I'm not really sure. The one that was big on our list was the ability to tune the alerts, but they've done that now with the non-critical. At this time, everything is pretty good with how we're using it, and what they provide.
For how long have I used the solution?
2 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It seems to be very stable. I don't know whether there's been an issue on the PagerDuty side or on the devices that we use, but we have seen some inconsistencies with receiving alerts on an iPhone versus an Android device from time to time. I don't if that's a PagerDuty issue or not.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
For our needs, it's definitely scalable. It's more than adequate. Just the ability for us to add users, and that's really all that we need, users and policies that we want to tie into our infrastructure. It's been good, so far.
How are customer service and support?
I don't think we've actually had to submit any tickets. It's a pretty easy solution to work with, and haven't had any issues with it.
How was the initial setup?
Everything about it is very straightforward, and easy to get rolling with.
What was our ROI?
I definitely think we have made an ROI. Just the ability to be able to respond quicker to the issues that are coming up gives the company a better mean times resolution resolution, which is going to improve upon the return on investment for what we spend on PagerDuty.
What other advice do I have?
It's very easy and straightforward to get implemented, and hit the ground running. As far as advice, I would ensure that you should create your services and policies to what you need, so you're not getting false alerts on issues that really aren't worth investigating. You definitely don't want to be running down false positives, and so, making sure that you are truly monitoring and being alerted on things that are important to company. Something to ensure is set up properly.

The escalation policies make it possible for managers to catch issues before missing SLA targets.
Pros and Cons
- "Because of the alert mechanism, our support technicians are prompted about support cases at risk."
- "The assigning and editing of the escalation policies could be improved."
What is most valuable?
There are several valuable features that we use, among them are the escalation policy, integration of email, telephone, and mobile app.
How has it helped my organization?
- Because of the alert mechanism, our support technicians are prompted about support cases at risk.
- The escalation policies make it possible for managers to catch issues before missing SLA targets.
- We are able to better manage the 24/7 offering with a smaller support team.
What needs improvement?
The assigning and editing of the escalation policies could be improved. It works, but it's just a bit confusing at times.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used it for three years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
I didn't have any issues with deployment, but this was handled by a different team. We had just some licensing issues at the start, but that was addressed.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We've never had any issues with stability since we started using it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The only scalability issue was just the licensing issues mentioned earlier.
How are customer service and technical support?
Customer Service:
N/A. Our support contact is internal, and we have never encountered any issues.
Technical Support:N/A. Our support contact is internal, and we have never encountered any issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used an external monitoring service. We switched to PagerDuty because of:
a) Control
b) Flexibility
c) Cost.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was handled by our Ops team. We had no issues.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented it with our in-house team.
What was our ROI?
We are a cost center, so ROI is measured through savings rather than revenue. However, we measure the ROI through SLA targets and customer service.
What other advice do I have?
Define your escalation policies first before rolling out. It will save time.
