PagerDuty Operations Cloud Reviews

I primarily use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for on-call rotations, managing and creating schedules for on-call rotations, and incident management. Pages are triggered whenever an integrated tool creates incidents or tickets, and notifications are received through mobile SMS, phone calls, and integrated emails from PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

The learning curve is noticeable, and integration with other tools varies in ease. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is an evolved product compared to Opsgenie, but Opsgenie can better integrate with Jira and Jira Service Management. For third-party and open-source applications, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is superior. PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers stronger incident management, better escalation policies, and greater reliability as an evolved product with fewer bugs and improved reporting.

Notifications are received very easily and quickly whenever a page or incident is triggered in PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Notifications are not limited to a single medium. If a person is unavailable on one medium or notifications are suppressed, repeated notifications arrive one after another. For example, if a person does not respond to email, a text message will follow, then a phone call, and if still unresponded, escalation occurs to another level. This is beneficial from a management perspective, but can feel overwhelming when handling on-call duties, especially during stressful periods.

Incident responses in PagerDuty Operations Cloud are not delayed, with instant notifications enabling quick reactions. Escalation policies ensure that if one person is unavailable, the alert escalates to the next level and beyond, preventing missed incidents. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is very useful for root cause analysis and audits, documenting each action including when a person viewed information on the app, received or declined calls, accepted or acknowledged alerts, the time before acting on incidents, and when incidents were resolved or closed. The mobile interface is effective, and managing escalation policies, schedules, and related items is easier compared to other tools.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been highly beneficial, preventing numerous outages through prompt response and incident alerting capabilities, demonstrating significant ROI.

Recent changes have been introduced, but the organization has not adopted them because artificial intelligence features are expensive and PagerDuty Operations Cloud itself is costly, limiting adoption across all organizations. Opsgenie was also used but found to be inferior as PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a more mature tool for incident response handling. PagerDuty Operations Cloud has easy integrations with numerous monitoring and alerting tools including ELK stack, Prometheus stack, Slack, and Jira.

While artificial intelligence has been introduced to PagerDuty Operations Cloud, it has not been tried due to operational blockers. There should be artificial intelligence that filters duplicate alerts or performs sentiment analysis. For example, when a person receives too many alerts, they can become frustrated. If there are ten alerts where seven or eight are false or low priority but a person still receives repeated pages, the remaining two alerts have a higher chance of being missed or not receiving adequate attention. This occurs in live cases and has been observed. Setup and integration remain easier compared to other applications like Opsgenie, though a learning curve still exists for management and new users, suggesting a simpler approach to setup and monitoring integration would be beneficial.

Pricing is expensive. Too many alerts are received, and the organization largely depends on optimizing alerts at the application level rather than the alerting level. A mechanism on the alerting side to filter or optimize alerts would be valuable. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is somewhat complex in comparison to Opsgenie, which has a simpler interface.

I have worked continuously with PagerDuty Operations Cloudfor about three and a half years.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is stable.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is scalable. Any number of alerts can be deployed and grouped. Alert grouping is quite effective. Multiple team members can be onboarded, and escalation and scheduling policies can be created in an efficient manner.

Customer service could be easier to reach and quicker in responding. There is some latency in receiving responses.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has been highly beneficial, preventing numerous outages through prompt response and incident alerting capabilities, demonstrating significant ROI.

Work occurred with management on creating escalation policies and automated schedules using the web application of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, along with integrations to different applications and mediums including SMS, email, Slack, Jira, and Microsoft Teams.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud was deployed in the cloud as a Software as a Service offering.

Tech support would be rated at 7.5 out of 10.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a more evolved product and more stable than alternatives. Organizations with sufficient financial resources and without budget limitations can opt for PagerDuty Operations Cloud compared to other products. The overall review rating for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is 8 out of 10.

My usual use cases with PagerDuty Operations Cloud involve handling incidents through a full flow. When there is an outage, an incident is created that can be either severity one or severity two. As the person on call that day, I receive a page from PagerDuty on the app and three calls on my cell phone. When I pick up the call, PagerDuty IVR asks me to acknowledge the incident. Once I acknowledge the incident from the call, I go to PagerDuty through the website, which is much easier to navigate than the mobile app. I then page other teams responsible for the incident, as well as the stakeholders and product owners.

PagerDuty is integrated with Microsoft Teams, so I open a Teams bridge call to resolve the issue and update all incident details in PagerDuty notes, which automatically integrates with ServiceNow incident and sends messages to stakeholders' phone numbers.

One time while hanging out in the mountains, there was no internet signal but there was cell reception. An incident happened while I was on call that day. Normally, without internet, I would not be able to know about it, but because of PagerDuty, I was paged three times on my cell phone as well as through text message. I managed to call another colleague from my work and told him to take care of the incident. This helped me avoid breaching the SLAs on incident acknowledgment and allowed me to access remote incidents without relying solely on the internet.

The features of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that I find most valuable involve being automatically paged whenever an incident is triggered. PagerDuty has group names embedded into it, and when we set up PagerDuty in our organization, we embedded the group name, allowing me to page other respondents without having to go separately into Microsoft Teams, add everybody's name, and then ping and call them. I can do this directly from PagerDuty itself.

The notes update feature allows me to put the details of the incident in the notes and click post, and it is integrated everywhere. Everything is centralized.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has improved my team's ability to focus on core tasks rather than routine issues primarily due to its availability and reliability. We do not worry about whether PagerDuty will call us when an incident triggers, allowing us to focus on that incident. The notes update process ensures that everyone gets informed with just one update.

I think PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be improved by having two fields for incident updates. In my work, I handle incidents that have two fields: work notes visible only to developers working on the incident and additional comments visible to the client. When I update through PagerDuty, everything gets updated into the additional comments. There should be two fields, perhaps based on how it is integrated with ServiceNow.

I have not used PagerDuty's autonomous AI agents or generative AI, so I am not sure whether it is integrated.

I can evaluate the effectiveness of PagerDuty Operations Cloud in providing insights for decision-making, and I rate it around seven out of ten. PagerDuty Operations Cloud is really helpful. With generative AI integrated and a chatbot, I think it would bump the rating up to nine, but I have not used it yet, so I cannot say for certain.

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for around one and a half years.

Regarding the reliability and stability of this product, I find it really stable. Based on my personal experience in the mountains, I can vouch for it. My organization measures the acknowledgment rate by checking how many times a call rings and how quickly the responder acknowledges the incident. The acknowledgment rate is really good, around ninety to ninety-five percent.

I think the scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is superb. It can handle many requests according to demand. As other members and teams are added to our organization, it has not impacted the latency, call failure, or anything else. The performance is really good.

I do not often communicate with the technical support of PagerDuty. The manuals are created by our team, so we use those.

I did not use a different solution for the same use case before PagerDuty Operations Cloud. PagerDuty Operations Cloud was the first solution I used.

I did not participate in the initial setup of PagerDuty Operations Cloud. When I joined the organization after one and a half years of use, it was already set up for me by the IT team.

I have not personally implemented automation through PagerDuty for incident response, but I think some of my colleagues may have done so.

I am not aware of the impact of PagerDuty's alert reduction feature on preventing costly incidents in our organization, as that metric is not shared with me.

I am not sure about the influence of PagerDuty Operations Cloud on revenue protection in terms of reducing alert fatigue and incident costs, as these are organizational-level decisions, and employees are not involved in those discussions.

Before PagerDuty Operations Cloud was chosen, I did not evaluate other options, as the decision was made by the board members.

My review rating for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is seven point five out of ten.

My main use case for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is to handle all technical perspectives of incident management and real-time alerting. I primarily use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for the health tech environment, specifically in telemedicine platform and EHR-related applications, where it is required to ensure high availability.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers excellent features including the alert system and automated incident escalation capability, which is effective for routing issues to the right team through mobile notifications, SMS, or phone calls.

The real-time monitoring feature in PagerDuty Operations Cloud makes the biggest difference for my team, as it is quite helpful for on-call management and day-to-day operations.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud has positively impacted my organization by working effectively with most cloud service providers like AWS or Azure, improving visibility and reliability of incident responses.

I have seen a reduction in incident response time, with MTTR efficiently reduced by 30 to 40%, better SLA compliance, and improved operational visibility through incident analytics and reporting dashboards since implementing PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

The alert reduction feature in PagerDuty Operations Cloud has minimized downtime and improved incident response efficiency in my organization.

There are a couple of areas where PagerDuty Operations Cloud can be improved, such as enhancing Event Intelligence and alert grouping features and simplifying the initial configuration of escalation policies.

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for more than two years.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is stable.

The scalability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is quite good, as it works well with enterprise-level systems.

Customer support for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is quite effective.

Before implementing PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I relied on basic monitoring tools and email alerts for health tech monitoring, and I noticed a significant improvement after switching.

I have not reached ROI yet, but I am close, with a reduction in downtime and faster incident resolution.

I would say the pricing is quite mid-range, but the setup cost and licensing can sometimes be a little challenging.

Before choosing PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I evaluated basic monitoring tools and email alert systems but found that PagerDuty offered stronger integration and operational visibility.

I would advise others to clearly define their incident management strategy before implementing PagerDuty Operations Cloud. I would rate this solution a 7 out of 10.

My use case for PagerDuty Operations Cloud is from the SRE and DevOps team. We use PagerDuty Operations Cloud for specific alerting purposes and for the pipeline process. When we build a pipeline and it suddenly fails due to some job and issues, we receive an error. We set up PagerDuty Operations Cloud with our monitoring services, which we are currently using, Datadog. Datadog is connected with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and whenever Datadog receives an alert or a spike or anything critical, it will trigger an alert to PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and we quickly get a notification. We are currently using this process, and we are also maintaining our on-shift call rotation. For example, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I am working as a shift lead, and then on Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, someone else is the shift lead. Regarding MTTR and all those statistics, we can see how many alerts we received, how many alerts we acknowledged this month, and we have a timeline as well. One of the valuable parts of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is that in our team, we can have a competitive environment. For example, if I resolved the most alerts triggered and resolved this month, then someone else can do it next month, and whoever resolves the most critical alerts on time receives appreciation every month.

One feature of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that I find valuable is the on-call schedule. We can manage our on-call scheduling, and we have various alert and notification delivery methods available, including mobile. We can receive phone calls, emails, SMS, and push notifications. For example, if someone missed the notification, they will get a phone call, which is very straightforward. We also have incident automation, making collaboration with any third-party monitoring services we use very straightforward, such as Datadog. We can seamlessly automate things with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The AI features are also beneficial; for example, noisy alerts that trigger regularly and false positive alerts get suppressed. It checks the past month's alerts, showing us that this alert triggered 60 percent, this alert triggered 20 percent, this alert is rare, and this alert is not rare. The escalation policy is excellent as well, as if I did not pick up the call, my manager will get the call; if my manager did not pick up, then his manager gets the call. These are some of the most valuable parts we use in PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

In Datadog, we have multiple dashboards and monitoring systems where we see our spikes and alerts. When we integrated with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we got better signal and less noise. When we are seeing a spike that is concurrent, in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, the AI feature already signifies that alert as a noisy alert, and it suppresses that alert. This significantly improves our workflow with both Datadog and PagerDuty Operations Cloud. We have faster response and faster escalation. Previously, in Datadog, we did not get notifications, and people would refresh it and check the spike every hour. Now that we integrated PagerDuty Operations Cloud, any alert triggers, and we quickly get a notification or a phone call. Therefore, we do not sit in front of a computer and refresh repeatedly. Additionally, we have a centralized incident workflow; PagerDuty Operations Cloud and Datadog feed into PagerDuty Operations Cloud incident timeline, so we see everything there. We do not need to open Datadog again and again, and if we need to deep dive into an alert from Datadog, we can click the link inside PagerDuty Operations Cloud, redirecting us to the Datadog dashboard where everything is noted down and visible.

In PagerDuty Operations Cloud, AI suppressing our alerts has helped streamline repetitive tasks. For example, very noisy alerts get suppressed automatically, aiding smarter routing. When we have new joiners in our team, they see alerts already suppressed, allowing them to focus on the critical ones instead of the lower ones. Additionally, alert prioritization is present; we receive critical alerts, high alerts, and then low alerts. The faster prioritization facilitated by AI enhances our alert management processes. Also, the root cause historical pattern assists us; if we get an alert similar to one from last month, it tells us how we resolved that alert previously. Historical patterns using AI greatly aid us in alert management.

I have already used PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and my previous monitoring tools were very poor for alerting. I had a good impression of PagerDuty Operations Cloud, but I believe it can improve with deeper root cause insights. I know there is automation to detect recent deployments causing incidents, but a deeper root cause analysis could provide more details. If PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers more information, we will not need to jump into the main dashboards where the alert triggered. For instance, if we get more insights directly in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, we would not need to check the Datadog dashboard. Additionally, I think a sandbox mode would be helpful for new team members, allowing us to guide them in simulating alerts, performing escalation policies, and creating PagerDuty Operations Cloud channels.

I have been working with PagerDuty Operations Cloud for five years. I worked on two different projects, and in both projects, we use PagerDuty Operations Cloud.

In my previous project, we utilized the flexible incident command system to coordinate large-scale incidents, but in my current project with only Datadog, we have not received many alerts or incidents in the last couple of days.

I do not have direct contact with PagerDuty Operations Cloud tech support or customer service teams, but my senior team members have connected with them when we received an alert related to our team failing to set it up properly. The customer support team promptly gave us insight and helped us within 24 hours.

Positive

I am currently working with PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Previously, on my previous project, we were on BigPanda, but we faced multiple issues during BigPanda. At that time, there was no call schedule feature, and there was no alert triggered feature for BigPanda. We then moved it to PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and suddenly everything was smooth. We got a phone app as well; we set up PagerDuty Operations Cloud on the phone as well. Whenever any alert triggered for us, we used to quickly check from our phone to see if it was a false positive, a true P1, P2 alert, a major alert, or a critical alert. We then quickly jump into the alert and work on it. PagerDuty Operations Cloud changed the process and the flow in our team very smoothly.

I found the initial setup of PagerDuty Operations Cloud straightforward; I did not face any complexities during the setup for alerts or during the initial configuration.

Regarding pricing for PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I am currently a software engineer and a senior software engineer, so I do not handle the pricing aspect. However, I hear from my manager that the pricing is very high for PagerDuty Operations Cloud, and only a few of us have the main business tier accounts. Many of us have low tier accounts that restrict us to acknowledging and viewing alerts, while a few have the ability to create and trigger alerts. Therefore, I do not think much about pricing, but I do believe it is somewhat high. However, I think this is valid because PagerDuty Operations Cloud provides a vast amount of benefits compared to other alerting systems.

Regarding the key differences, pros and cons of PagerDuty Operations Cloud compared to competitors, some pros include alert grouping, AI functionality, and the ability to easily integrate with Slack for quicker resolution. Additionally, we receive phone notifications and push notifications, which many of the other competitors do not provide. The pricing of PagerDuty Operations Cloud is also reasonable for the functionalities it offers compared to its competitors. These are some benefits I see in PagerDuty Operations Cloud, including helpful alert insights and direct links to dashboards we have integrated, such as Datadog and Grafana, which allow us to resolve issues quickly.

The recommendation I share, based on my experience with PagerDuty Operations Cloud, is that it is one of the best platforms for synchronizing with your monitoring tools. It will improve your flow, and your team will definitely benefit from PagerDuty Operations Cloud compared to other competitors, as it offers numerous advantages. I give this review a rating of ten out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for two months.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty much stable and I have not seen it crashing.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is pretty much scalable.

I have not used customer support until now, but I believe they will be great.

We were not using any different solution; this is the first time we are going for an on-cloud platform.

I cannot share how my team has leveraged automation within PagerDuty Operations Cloud because it is a bit confidential.

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.

I was not on the team that evaluated options before choosing PagerDuty Operations Cloud, so I cannot tell you about this.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for the past four years.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for approximately four years.

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.

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.

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.

I have only been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud; recently with my new organization, I am also using Fire Hydrant.

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.

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.

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.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud is used to monitor all applications and infrastructure health, manage incidents, and receive real-time alerts when any issue occurs on live projects. It helps our IT team quickly identify root causes and coordinate with the respective department, helping to reduce application downtime and maintain service reliability.

In one of our projects, we experienced a sudden increase in API response time that affected our customer. PagerDuty Operations Cloud helped alert the team and notified the on-call engineer or development team to coordinate the investigation. We identified the issue, resolved it, and quickly restored normal service so that the customer could continue their purchase, reducing our response time and minimizing the impact on users.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud helps us improve incident visibility and team collaboration by bringing alerts into a single place, allowing us to monitor all applications. We use it to prioritize critical issues and notify the right team members to track incidents until resolution. It helps us identify recurring problems and improve our incident response processes, ultimately reducing downtime and improving application reliability.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud improves our overall organization's incident response by helping us detect issues earlier and notify the right team members, enabling us to resolve incidents more efficiently and quickly. It reduced unnecessary alerts, improved collaboration between development and support teams, and provided better visibility into ongoing incidents. Overall, it helps minimize downtime, maintain application reliability, and deliver a better experience for our customers.

Since using this solution, our team has been able to respond to incidents more quickly, as alerts reach the right people without any delays or confusion. Alert grouping has reduced duplicate notifications, and centralized incident tracking has improved coordination. While we have not tracked the exact percentage, I observed almost fifty to sixty percent improvements, and we have seen a smoother troubleshooting process with less time spent identifying issues, helping us deliver better service for customers.

We use the AI automation capability to streamline incident response by routing alerts to the right team members, ensuring that if anyone is absent, it does not affect performance, reducing manual coordination. Intelligent alert grouping helps us focus on the main issues instead of handling duplicate notifications, making troubleshooting more efficient and improving team collaboration.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud's alert reduction features are very helpful for avoiding being overwhelmed by duplicate and low-priority notifications, allowing teams to focus on critical incidents sooner and improving troubleshooting efficiency, helping to prevent minor issues from escalating into major service disruptions. By reducing manual investigation and downtime, it also lowers operational costs and minimizes the impact on customers.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud's AI functionality helps our team focus on core development and problem-solving by reducing repetitive incident alerts and grouping related issues. Instead of manually reviewing every notification, we can prioritize important incidents and direct them to the right team members, saving investigation time, reducing distractions, and allowing developers to spend more time on future development, performance improvement, and other tasks while maintaining system reliability.

We use PagerDuty Operations Cloud to automate alert routing, escalation policies, and incident notifications, which reduces manual coordination during incidents. Alert grouping also helps us avoid investigating duplicate notifications individually, resulting in our team spending less time on routing incident handling and more time on development, preventative maintenance, and performance improvement. This has made our incident management workflow more organized and efficient.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud offers many best features that we use in our daily work, including real-time incident alerts, automated on-call scheduling, and intelligent alert grouping with the escalation policy. We appreciate how it centralizes incident management and helps our team collaborate during outages, making it easier to identify critical issues, notify the right people quickly, reduce alert noise, and minimize application downtime.

Intelligent alert grouping helps us avoid receiving multiple notifications for the same underlying issues, such as when an API slows down or triggers several alerts. PagerDuty Operations Cloud groups related alerts so that our team can focus on the root cause instead of investigating each notification separately. Centralized incident management keeps alert and incident details, ownership, and response updates in one place, making collaboration easier and helping our team resolve issues faster within a shorter time.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud's artificial intelligence capabilities are useful for identifying patterns, grouping related alerts, and helping teams respond to incidents faster. From a governance and security perspective, I value role-based access controls, audit trails, and clear data handling policies. I would also appreciate a transparent explanation of AI-generated recommendations and options for controlling how incident data is used so that our team can adopt AI while maintaining security and accountability.

The AI outputs are generally useful and reliable for identifying related alerts, highlighting incident patterns, and supporting troubleshooting. The recommendations provide a good starting point for quick investigations, but accuracy can depend on the quality of monitoring data and configuration. I believe keeping a human review in the loop for critical incidents is important to ensure decisions are based on actual system behavior.

PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be improved by simplifying the configuration of alert rules and escalation policies. We find incident analytics and the customization of dashboards challenging for new users, especially those not from the technical field. We would also appreciate flexible reporting to measure incident response performance to help us make timely decisions.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using PagerDuty Operations Cloud for eight years.

The accuracy and reliability of PagerDuty Operations Cloud are good, and I have no doubts about it.

Currently, PagerDuty Operations Cloud is deployed in my organization on the public cloud.

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.
