Real-time alerts have protected client sites and now keep our team focused on critical issues
Pros and Cons
- "The real-time notification is top-notch, and critical warnings reach the right person right away without delay."
- "The learning curve for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit steep, with its complicated rules and schedules, and we have to dedicate a proper team to use that tool."
What is our primary use case?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used for real-time alerts when something goes wrong with our system so the team can fix it right away, and for setting up on-call schedules to ensure the right person is always ready to answer the problem at any time of the day. We also use it for scaling up discovery calls with our clients and prospects.
Last month, one of our main web servers stopped working in the middle of the day, and the system sent an instant notification to the team, who automatically used our on-call schedule to contact the right engineer on duty, saving us precious time instead of guessing who to call.
We have used PagerDuty Operations Cloud to control the external noise from the alerts.
What is most valuable?
The real-time notification is top-notch, and critical warnings reach the right person right away without delay. Smart tools that reduce extra alert noise are great for keeping the team focused on real-time problems. The large number of connections to over 700 different software tools allows us to bring all work together in one workflow.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud has helped fix critical problems much faster, including the ads we are running that do not crash, the websites we run for our clients, and our CRM website.
I cannot say that PagerDuty Operations Cloud has reduced downtime or improved our team's response time because we have been using it for around two months only. However, we have seen reduced downtime and quick resolution of issues because everyone is notified when something is damaged, whereas earlier we would only find out about issues when the client called us. This also gave us a demerit because the client thought we could not do the work properly, resulting in a significant reduction in our monthly retainer. Now we are stable with our monthly retainer.
The security governance of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty good.
Regarding its accuracy and reliability of output, I would say it is pretty much accurate.
PagerDuty's generative AI is pretty good, although sometimes the decision can be a bit generic and not very reliable, but they are improving it.
What needs improvement?
The learning curve for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit steep, with its complicated rules and schedules, and we have to dedicate a proper team to use that tool.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for two months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty much stable and I have not seen it crashing.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty much scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I have not used customer support until now, but I believe they will be great.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were not using any different solution; this is the first time we are going for an on-cloud platform.
What about the implementation team?
I cannot share how my team has leveraged automation within PagerDuty Operations Cloud because it is a bit confidential.
What was our ROI?
It helps us save manual hours of work every week.
For me as an employee, I would say the time has been reduced and the downtime has been reduced.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was not on the team that evaluated options before choosing PagerDuty Operations Cloud, so I cannot tell you about this.
What other advice do I have?
We are still in the process of implementing AI and automation through PagerDuty for incident response.
I cannot answer that question right now because we are still testing PagerDuty's autonomous AI agents.
The alert reduction feature has been reporting to us issues such as a client's website being down or the CRM website being down, which I would say has saved us.
I would say that if your team can purchase PagerDuty Operations Cloud, you can definitely use it, although it is a bit costly for a startup, as was pointed out by my team too, but we have saved a lot of time.
I gave this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

Lead Engineer, Cloud Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
On-call workflows have been streamlined and critical alerts are now managed without being missed
Pros and Cons
- "PagerDuty Operations Cloud handles this process perfectly, and we do not miss any alerts because of this system."
- "PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself functions well, but our setup sometimes feels irritating."
What is our primary use case?
My primary use case for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is for the on-call support that my team provides. We work in two phases: we build and architect things, and then we support them. Every week, two engineers from my team serve as on-call support engineers for any escalation tasks or emergencies that may happen with our production environment. We have monitoring and observability enabled for our services, applications, and servers. Whoever is the on-call engineer for that particular week follows an escalation matrix with five people: two primary and secondary on-call engineers, two primary and secondary management contacts, and the highest level, which is CVP. If something is not resolved by the primary engineer, it escalates to the secondary engineer, then to primary management, secondary management, and so on. We have a predefined roster that has been scheduled for approximately the next year, where each primary engineer is assigned a week. Every engineer is assigned a role as either a primary or secondary on-call engineer, and any escalations during that period are managed by PagerDuty Operations Cloud and communicated to the primary engineer, who then acknowledges it, resolves it, escalates it, or takes whatever action is needed.
What is most valuable?
The best features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud are that it is a fairly good tool for alerting. Here is how the process works: suppose there is an XYZ server in my environment hosting a production or development application, and a primary on-call engineer has been assigned for that particular week. We have set up monitoring and observability for that node so that if the node is not reachable, an alert is triggered and sends a notification to our integrated Slack channels with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. If the engineer is available, they can acknowledge the alert. If they fail to acknowledge it, the system calls them on their provided number. If that is also not acknowledged, it sends a text message. If those actions are not acknowledged, it sends an alert to the secondary engineer and calls them as well. This multi-channel approach makes it very difficult to miss an important alert or update. PagerDuty Operations Cloud handles this process perfectly, and we do not miss any alerts because of this system.
Regarding the stability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I cannot recall an incident where it was not available. I can say that it is 100 percent reliable for my needs.
What needs improvement?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself functions well, but our setup sometimes feels irritating. The calls come very early in the morning, and even after we acknowledge them, numerous calls from PagerDuty Operations Cloud pop up before we have fully woken up. We try to snooze them, but this is a result of how we have configured our alerting mechanisms rather than a PagerDuty Operations Cloud issue.
Another piece of feedback is that there should be more options for changing the automated voice that calls us. The automated voice could be better as it is not very interesting and feels outdated. I have not seen updates to it during the time I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud. I do not see many updates made to PagerDuty Operations Cloud overall. The UI is simple, but it should be refreshed periodically to keep up with current times. Everything needs a fresh appearance periodically.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for the past four years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud's scalability as a solution is fairly straightforward and has maintained its effectiveness. With new integrations being launched periodically, such as Slack and Datadog, the platform has blended itself well from an integration perspective. Whatever top-notch tools we are using as an enterprise solution, PagerDuty Operations Cloud has kept itself current and integrates nicely with all the tools we use these days. Even with upgrades we are making, such as adopting AI agents and using the latest AWS services like Bedrock and SageMaker, it is fairly easy to integrate with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The platform also provides the option of changing rosters. PagerDuty Operations Cloud has a mobile application that I can use on my mobile phone, and it is fairly easy to use from mobile as well. I can change my rosters and reach out to my primary management and other contacts through the mobile app. It has kept up with recent times and continues to evolve.
What other advice do I have?
I was not involved in the deployment of PagerDuty Operations Cloud because it was already in my organization when I joined. However, after using it for the past four years, I can say it does not need much complexity. The architecture is straightforward, as PagerDuty Operations Cloud is integrated with my Datadog and Slack systems. The integrations are easy, and it is now being integrated with AI agents as well. In the UI, I can see who is on the schedule. Although I was not involved in the deployment, I know it is fairly easy to use.
I would rate PagerDuty Operations Cloud around a nine out of ten. I deduct one point for the lack of updates to the UI, as the platform has not made many updates to its interface. Despite this, it does the job that it needs to do, and I would rate it a nine.

Incident response has become faster and on-call alerts stay reliable for critical operations
Pros and Cons
- "I see PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a very good incident management and on-call platform, mostly used by large-scale organizations because it comes with premium pricing, but it is very reliable with alerting and on-call scheduling, triggering incidents, escalation policies, rules, and runbooks."
- "I think an area of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that could be improved is their premium pricing, as it compares unfavorably with competitors such as Atlassian's Opsgenie and ServiceNow, which offer bundle deals, plus DataDog now has incident management capabilities."
What is our primary use case?
I am an end user of PagerDuty Operations Cloud in my organization, with a background in incident management. I primarily use it for managing on-call schedules, triggering and handling incidents, and monitoring alerts. It helps ensure timely responses, efficient escalation, and better coordination during incidents, making it a key tool for maintaining operational reliability.
How has it helped my organization?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud has improved our incident response by ensuring reliable alerting and faster escalation to the right teams. It has significantly reduced alert fatigue through better alert filtering and deduplication. The platform has also lowered our mean time to resolve (MTTR) with runbook automation and streamlined on-call management, leading to fewer disruptions and improved overall operational efficiency.
What is most valuable?
The features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that I have found the most valuable and useful include alerting, which is very reliable with minimal delays, and the escalation policies and routing rules that are more flexible. Additionally, the on-call scheduling capabilities are great, and it integrates well with any cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and observability tools such as DataDog and New Relic for logging and checking out logs.
I have noticed that PagerDuty Operations Cloud influences revenue protection by reducing alert fatigue and incident costs. AIOps has helped recently in reducing noise and alert duplications, and runbook automations aid in lowering the mean time to resolve by integrating triggers to Slack and updating runbooks.
I see PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a very good incident management and on-call platform, mostly used by large-scale organizations because it comes with premium pricing, but it is very reliable with alerting and on-call scheduling, triggering incidents, escalation policies, rules, and runbooks.
What needs improvement?
I think an area of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that could be improved is their premium pricing, as it compares unfavorably with competitors such as Atlassian's Opsgenie and ServiceNow, which offer bundle deals, plus DataDog now has incident management capabilities. Overall, the premium pricing makes it less accessible for small to medium businesses.
I think the pricing of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a bit too high, and also, the UI can feel a bit curvy for new users; the learning curve might be a bit dense for them. The initial setup is straightforward, but the event orchestration could be complex, and the automation workflow definitely requires great expertise.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for approximately four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability and reliability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud 9.5 out of 10. The platform is highly stable and dependable in production environments, especially for critical incident management workflows. We have experienced consistent alert delivery, reliable on-call scheduling, and minimal downtime or disruptions.
That said, no system is completely perfect, so I cannot say it is 100% flawless. However, overall it has proven to be very reliable for mission-critical operations, where even small delays or failures would have significant impact.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud 8 out of 10. From a technical perspective, the platform scales very well and can support large, distributed teams with complex incident management needs. It handles high volumes of alerts, multiple services, and integrations across cloud platforms efficiently.
However, the main limitation to scalability is its premium pricing. As organizations grow and onboard more users or services, the cost increases significantly, which can be a challenge for small to mid-sized teams. So while it is technically highly scalable, cost can be a limiting factor for broader adoption.
How are customer service and support?
I have had regular interactions with PagerDuty Operations Cloud’s technical support, and my overall experience has been positive. The support team is responsive and helpful in addressing queries.
For example, during a user audit, I requested specific data on active users and those who had not accepted invitations. The support team responded quickly and provided the required information without delays. Overall, the support experience has been efficient and reliable when assistance is needed.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have only been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud; recently with my new organization, I am also using Fire Hydrant.
How was the initial setup?
I was not directly involved in the initial setup of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, as it was handled by senior team members. However, from my observations, the setup process appears to be straightforward at a basic level for core features like alerting and on-call scheduling.
That said, advanced configurations such as event orchestration and automation can become complex. If rules are not configured properly, they may lead to alert storms or missed incidents. Additionally, runbook automation is not plug-and-play and typically requires scripting knowledge and careful setup to function effectively.
What was our ROI?
From an ROI perspective, I do not have direct visibility into financial metrics, so I cannot quantify exact cost savings. However, I have seen strong operational ROI from PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
It has improved incident response efficiency by reducing alert fatigue, ensuring faster escalation, and lowering mean time to resolve (MTTR) through runbook automation. These improvements have helped prevent prolonged outages and reduced the impact of incidents, which indirectly contributes to cost savings and better service reliability at an operational level.
What other advice do I have?
I have some exposure to its autonomous AI agents, I have not extensively used its AIOps or generative AI capabilities. Despite that, the platform has had a strong positive impact on our operations.
By properly configuring alerting rules, we have been able to significantly reduce alert fatigue and shift focus toward more critical issues rather than routine noise. PagerDuty has also helped in reducing the number of duplicate alerts through intelligent pattern recognition.
Additionally, runbook automation has contributed to lowering our mean time to resolve (MTTR), enabling faster and more efficient incident handling. Overall, it has helped prevent costly incidents and improved operational efficiency across the team.
My review rating for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is nine point five out of ten.

Integrated alerts have improved on-call response and enabled proactive incident management
Pros and Cons
- "From my perspective, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is good, with user-friendly features that anyone can quickly learn, including integration processes, on-call management, and escalation policies, and it is a valuable asset for my organization."
What is our primary use case?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud's main use case for my organization is the integration of alerts by receiving them via mobile, email, and SMS.
For example, we integrated AWS CloudWatch alarms. If we get any age of oldest message alert, which applies to SQS, we set up our SNS integration by providing a topic and subscription, and we give the integration URL of PagerDuty Operations Cloud. If the age of the oldest message threshold is breached, we will receive an alert via PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
Regarding my main use case, we have also integrated other tools such as Prometheus and Grafana along with Alertmanager. Via Grafana, we have integrated our dashboard metrics and created alerts if the threshold is breached. Based on those metrics, PagerDuty Operations Cloud alert will be triggered.
What is most valuable?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers great features, including service directories, Slack integrations, incident reports, alert suppression, orchestration, team management, and permission handling such as read or write. These are the best features according to my daily experience.
The integration part stands out for us, as we have utilized integrations like AWS, Azure, Jenkins for pipeline breaches, Slack, and New Relic, along with a number of plugins that are helpful.
In the market, when comparing PagerDuty Operations Cloud to VictorOps and other services, PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers great features, particularly the simplicity of its integration plugins, which is a significant advantage.
If there are issues in our production environment, we immediately get alerts and can take action. Even if we are busy with other issues and we cannot fully monitor our dashboards, the integration of alerts is fantastic because it notifies us via phone at any time. We can react immediately based on the alert's priority and take necessary action, leveraging our understanding of the infrastructure and the type of issues.
What needs improvement?
In terms of improvements, I do not have any specific suggestions. The alert suppression and merging features look good, and overall, I see no issues.
No improvements are necessary from what I have heard, and everything seems fine. I manage PagerDuty Operations Cloud operations for my team, including on-call management and schedules, and I am happy with everything from both my colleagues' and my perspective.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The accuracy and reliability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud are good, and I have no doubts about it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Currently, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is deployed in my organization on the public cloud.
What other advice do I have?
As for measurable outcomes like reduced downtime or faster response times, sometimes we have to acknowledge even low-priority alerts. One instance involved a few users on my team who did not accept a low-priority alert.
From my perspective, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is good, with user-friendly features that anyone can quickly learn, including integration processes, on-call management, and escalation policies. It is a valuable asset for my organization.
Recently we integrated our AI capabilities into PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which helps us get alerts integrated with Slack, providing information on the service directory and AWS CloudWatch URL.
We have integrated our AI agents, which provide comprehensive details such as tasks, responses, acknowledgments, resolves, and links, making it beneficial for viewing and acknowledgment processes.
I need to dive deeper into this, but as of now, the resources we are using have all the necessary functionality and everything is working well.
I provide a review rating of 8.5 for PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

Incident alerts have been centralized and on-call workflows now run smoothly across teams
Pros and Cons
- "The aspect I appreciate most about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is certainly the incident management capabilities."
- "Currently, New Relic and Datadog handle monitoring and observability better than PagerDuty Operations Cloud."
What is our primary use case?
We had one monitoring tool in place, and whenever an incident and alert were created in that monitoring tool, we received a PagerDuty alert from there. It was configured over the vessels, and on the ships, we have a small data center. If anything went wrong, before any crew member informed us, we tried to address it and resolve the incident. Currently, one of my clients is Coupa. We have New Relic as a monitoring and observability tool, but for the pager service, we have PagerDuty in place. I was also working for another project called HP Anywhere, where we are using Datadog as an observability and monitoring stack, but we have PagerDuty for incident alerts and notifications.
What is most valuable?
The aspect I appreciate most about PagerDuty Operations Cloud is certainly the incident management capabilities. We can create our rotational shifts and on-call schedules. The way it operates has become natural to us, allowing us to create schedules for separate teams and then create escalation policies. If team one misses an alert, it goes to the leads. If the lead misses acknowledging it, then it goes to the managers. It is very easy to manage in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Recently, it has been introduced in Datadog as well, and it looks somewhat similar, but PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been our tool for so long that we have become accustomed to it.
Auto-resolve is available, so if the alert is gone, it automatically resolves. The information it provides on the incident is valuable, so we do not have to each time go to New Relic or Datadog. It brings all the information from those tools to PagerDuty Operations Cloud, allowing us to identify the issue and resolve it.
What needs improvement?
From an India perspective, what I have been noticing recently is that in India, the government itself indicates whether a call is spam or normal. Recently, when we receive calls from PagerDuty Operations Cloud numbers, they are flagged as spam calls. This is something that could be addressed.
Additionally, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is already excellent for incident management, but if it could also provide observability capabilities, that would be beneficial. A smaller team can have PagerDuty Operations Cloud for incident management, but for observability and monitoring, we have to go to New Relic or implement our own Grafana or Prometheus. If PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself started providing some monitoring capabilities, even if not in-depth observability, that would be fantastic.
Currently, New Relic and Datadog handle monitoring and observability better than PagerDuty Operations Cloud. In New Relic, we have twelve to thirteen accounts, and we navigate between those accounts. At least sixty thousand servers are reporting to those New Relic instances. Finding our server, filtering the logs, and performing related tasks is really easy. This feasibility is not there in PagerDuty Operations Cloud.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for approximately seven to eight years
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience so far, there have been no stability issues. It has always been a working tool. I have not heard from any colleagues or others that we have had any support tickets open with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which means that things have been working as expected.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
For one of our clients that I am currently working with, Coupa, the entire organization is dependent on this tool. We have centralized monitoring observability with New Relic, and for incident management, we have PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The team I am in currently is handling four SaaS products, and Coupa itself has at least thirty plus or forty plus SaaS products under its umbrella. With scalability, I believe PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been working well.
How are customer service and support?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud does not require any maintenance from our end.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment was easy, and integration with the other tools was also straightforward. We integrated PagerDuty Operations Cloud with our Slack and Jira. For one of our clients, if an incident is created in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, it creates a ticket in Jira. Then on Jira, under that ticket, we maintain all the history of the incident. Jira is particularly important because in the organization, it is the go-to tool for ticketing. If a similar incident occurs, we keep a history in Jira. Integrating PagerDuty Operations Cloud with the other tools was also quite easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not very familiar with the pricing. On an organizational basis, I have not reached that level. I am still a senior cloud consultant, but the costing and those aspects are not something I am currently involved with.
What other advice do I have?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is not currently being used for additional features in our organizations. We have not started with those features currently. This is certainly not the case for our implementation. I am particularly a customer, but my clients could have partnerships with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, which I am not aware of currently. I would rate my overall experience with PagerDuty Operations Cloud as a nine out of ten.

Incident response has become faster and on-call teams manage alerts with reduced noise
Pros and Cons
- "PagerDuty Operations Cloud is one of the important aspects in our organization which we use widely for incident response and quick incident resolution."
- "I rate the platform an 8 out of 10 because, as mentioned, there could be better ways of creating incidents or using a phone number to contact someone who is on call."
What is our primary use case?
I use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for notifying engineers of any incidents or issues in our operations or infrastructure. Most of the time on our servers, I receive alerts regarding memory, disk utilization, and CPU, so when any infrastructure-related issues arise, we trigger PagerDuty alerts to the engineers to resolve them.
My main use case with PagerDuty Operations Cloud is for resolving incidents or when I need peer help on an ongoing incident. I page out the correct relevant engineers, and in response, they join the call, which is very useful for us to resolve any incidents.
What is most valuable?
The best features that PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers include paging out as one of the best capabilities. We can respond to incidents through a message, call, mobile app, or website, which is very useful and quick for getting incident notifications.
We rely on the mobile app the most for incident notifications because it is easy to carry wherever we go. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is one of the important aspects in our organization which we use widely for incident response and quick incident resolution. When we need any alert or peer help, PagerDuty assists us and helps in managing who is on call for which team, allowing us to view the dashboard, which is very useful for us.
The alert reduction feature of PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps in reducing incident alerts, allowing similar alerts to be resolved easily. The AI functionality is very useful in reducing alerts, automating workflow, improving on-call efficiency, and enabling faster incident resolution. PagerDuty's generative AI is particularly helpful as it reduces alerts and unnecessary noise.
What needs improvement?
Since using PagerDuty Operations Cloud, it would be helpful to have a phone number that we can use to page out certain people, making it easier for us. If a phone number existed that we could call and it would detect which team we are currently active in, we could then ask the system to page out certain people based on the available options.
Overall, I believe the platform is good, however, I think we could have a phone number that, when someone calls and provides some authentication such as a PIN, could help page out certain people, which would be useful for us. I rate the platform an 8 out of 10 because, as mentioned, there could be better ways of creating incidents or using a phone number to contact someone who is on call. For each team, we could have a temporary email ID which we could use to email and automatically reach the on-call person. Additionally, if we could integrate an AI chatbot feature, such as asking who is on call and having it display the results, it would be beneficial because we have multiple teams and currently need to navigate different dashboards.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for around two to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very good, and it is easy to scale.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very nice, and we receive very good support.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and it is very useful because without it, we would need multiple people. Our headcount is very low because we are using PagerDuty, as it significantly reduces toil and manual work.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is good and easy to understand.
What other advice do I have?
For others looking into using PagerDuty Operations Cloud, my advice is that it is very useful, it is easy to onboard, and the response is very nice. You can manage multiple teams as multiple teams can have on-calls. I think you can integrate machine learning and AI features into PagerDuty and possibly have a chatbot that answers all questions related to PagerDuty, which will be helpful by providing a summary and similar functionalities. I rate this product an 8 out of 10.

On-call teams have reduced downtime and respond faster through integrated alerting workflows
Pros and Cons
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is monitoring and on-call management for downtime.
Recently, we had a service go down last week, and we were alerted via PagerDuty Operations Cloud of the issue. One of our on-call engineers responded to the page and quickly resolved the problem through PagerDuty Operations Cloud app.
What is most valuable?
The best features PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers include the ability to integrate its app through various platforms such as Teams and various monitoring platforms such as New Relic and DynaTrace. It is easy to use, easy to log in and configure your on-call rotation, as well as utilizing their business services and technical services to properly configure how you want things monitored and alerted.
The integrations and easy configuration help our team by saving time and reducing errors. We use Terraform to create various modules, including integrations with PagerDuty Operations Cloud and our monitoring platform, New Relic. When a team creates a new application, we ask them to use our monitoring module to monitor their service using New Relic and PagerDuty Operations Cloud. By doing that, we save time and errors by preventing people from manually having to set up their PagerDuty Operations Cloud operations; it is all done through this module, which is easy to use.
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.
This quick response has led to measurable improvements, with reduced downtime and faster incident resolution times, as our on-call engineers are appropriately alerted when things happen. We understand based on the page what is going on and how to quickly respond to it, and if we need help, we can loop in other engineers and our managers that own the product to resolve it quicker.
What needs improvement?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud can be improved by using automation or AI to advance the product in such a way that it allows the implementation of automation to resolve issues or speed up workflows.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
PagerDuty Operations Cloud is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Its scalability is impressive; it scales very well, allowing us to add licenses, add services, and more very quickly and easily.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support is great; we have never had an issue when reaching out to someone in customer service when we have questions.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we were using New Relic for monitoring, which sent us alerts when issues went down, but we ended up using PagerDuty Operations Cloud alongside it because PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used for on-call alerting.
How was the initial setup?
Our experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been straightforward and easy. We have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for several years, so our pricing and cost have definitely increased over time, especially as we have hired additional engineers. Adding additional users and/or licenses is very straightforward, and we have always had a good experience with customer service from PagerDuty Operations Cloud side.
What was our ROI?
The best return on investment comes from being alerted and paged for ongoing issues or new issues appropriately, allowing us to set up those schedules and engineers. The fact that PagerDuty Operations Cloud allows us to be alerted when things go down and configure how our engineers are alerted speaks to the return on investment due to the quick response it facilitates.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Our experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been straightforward and easy. We have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for several years, so our pricing and cost have definitely increased over time, especially as we have hired additional engineers. Adding additional users and/or licenses is very straightforward, and we have always had a good experience with customer service from PagerDuty Operations Cloud side.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

On-call workflows have become reliable and efficient for engaging engineers during incidents
Pros and Cons
- "I see major benefits from using PagerDuty Operations Cloud because it really helps to engage an on-call engineer."
- "The only challenge I see is finding the engineer that belongs to the group."
What is our primary use case?
We use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for one primary reason: during on-call service or when an available engineer is not present and we have any severity issue occurring in any of our production servers. We use PagerDuty to page the respective engineer, and once we page them, it triggers to their PagerDuty portal where they acknowledge the alert.
The only thing I use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for is to engage on-call engineers at the moment. We have not had a chance to explore many features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud because engaging on-call engineers is the only restricted, available option we currently use.
I have not used any of PagerDuty's autonomous AI agents so far because whenever I need to engage somebody, it works fine and as expected. I wanted to check if an AI agent is already pre-installed in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but I have not used PagerDuty's generative AI for providing insights for decision-making.
I use PagerDuty Operations Cloud web portal very infrequently. I do not know if the AI tool is already integrated into PagerDuty Operations Cloud. If an AI tool is not yet integrated, a chatbot could be added. If I cannot find any of the engineers in any of the assigned groups, I could ask the chatbot or inquire which group a specific person is added to, and it could give me the group name so I can directly go to that group and page that engineer. I do not know if that feature is already implemented, but this is my idea.
My management deals with PagerDuty Operations Cloud pricing and licensing. When I started working at my current company, PagerDuty Operations Cloud was already in place.
What is most valuable?
I see major benefits from using PagerDuty Operations Cloud because it really helps to engage an on-call engineer. We do not have to call their phone, make numerous calls, or check their availability. If the respective engineer is not available, it triggers to the next-level management, maybe a senior lead or a senior manager who can bring in somebody instead of the engineer being unavailable.
We are using PagerDuty Operations Cloud to onboard new engineers. Recently I had a call with NAM's people who were not on a pager. In case of their unavailability during off-business hours, we took their details, email address, contact information, and everything. We have onboarded them in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, so at the end of the day, we are trying to make all engineers available in it and ensure that we can get their help whenever we need them.
PagerDuty Operations Cloud really helps because as soon as an engineer acknowledges the alert we sent, we get an email notification or confirmation. That helps us continue working on regular operations and gives us confirmation once the engineer acknowledges their availability. It does not keep me switching between tabs on PagerDuty; it runs in the background and lets me know once the process is completed.
What needs improvement?
I have not implemented automation through PagerDuty Operations Cloud for incident response. I do not know if my higher management is making use of that, but I have not used PagerDuty Operations Cloud specifications to notice any influence on revenue protection in terms of reducing alert fatigue and incident costs.
The only challenge I see is finding the engineer that belongs to the group. That is the only challenge I see, but if we get hands-on experience with it or talk to a chatbot if it is already there, that can be helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I do not know if any outages happened during my off-shift hours or when I am not available in the team, but as far as I know, I do not see any outages that have happened in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. I believe it is running smoothly. I can rate it a nine because the one point I am not giving is that I do not know if any of my team faced any outage or error. When it comes to me, it is a good product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
If I were to rate the scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud out of ten, I would say eight.
How are customer service and support?
I only communicate with technical support. I usually engage with the technical support team to get on a call with me or for the severity call we are currently having so we can get it sorted. I feel the support is good.
I do not remember any specific examples of my interaction with their technical support. I have never interacted with PagerDuty's support directly.
What other advice do I have?
I feel that PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a really good tool that is helping me personally and the team. I have never interacted with PagerDuty's support directly.
Documents should definitely be in place for PagerDuty Operations Cloud because every process we follow will definitely have documentation. However, I know how exactly to use PagerDuty for the operations that we are doing, so I really do not use the documents much. I would rate this review a nine out of ten overall.
