Great platform with lots of integrations

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Provides integration's for all of the platforms that we use
What do you dislike about the product?
Routing configuration can be a little complicated depending on On-Call requirements
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT Operations Alerting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have questions definitely engage support. They have a lot of features, interpretations, & functionality and not all of it is self explanatory

A great paging app for the modern devops/sysadmin

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are a multitude of easy to use options, like the multiple schedules per team, different rotation cycles, easy integration with 3rd party monitoring and alerting platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are slight issues with the Android app but the devs have assured us they are being worked on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a way to stop alerting all the staff on every alerts and make sure to deliver alerts on time to the person on call.
We are now able to swap easily on-call shifts and sleep soundly knowing that IF and when opsgenie alerts us it's because our intervention is actually required.

OpsGenie is a great alerting and paging platform!

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It just works! Also, the engineers worked with us very closely to get our integrations going very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the navigation is a bit difficult to figure out, but once you get used to it, there's no issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to replace pagerduty because they recently doubled their prices, and opsgenie had all the options we needed.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OpsGenie is a great alerting and paging service. I would highly recommend it.

Best Tool for Incident Management and Alert Aggregation

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Of all the tools we evaluated, OpsGenie is the most full-featured, while also having one of the best interfaces that I've seen. It supports all the integrations that we need plus some, and has a powerful API that we've used to write several custom integrations. The routing and policy rules are powerful yet easy to understand. And on top of all that, their Support Team has been stellar! They are super quick to answer, knowledgable, and make sure that our questions are resolved every time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to see a bit more in terms of alert aggregation, possibly a machine learning algorithm which identifies and groups together related alerts. Also, while their new Reports are awesome, there are still a few more report features we'd like to have -- especially surrounding Incidents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using OpsGenie for several reasons:
1. We can collect all alerts in one central location. Before, we were sending a lot of alerts to Slack, but some would also go to email. If we were trying to search through past alerts, it wasn't easy to know where to look. Now we just search in OpsGenie.
2. With all our alerts going to OpsGenie, we can now run reports and see a lot of useful metrics about our alerts.
3. We got a lot of noisy alerts. OpsGenie gives us ways to reduce the noise. In practice, we've seen up to 90% noise reduction with a few simple policies in place.
4. We needed a way to log Incidents and capture the information about them such as resolution time, how the Incident was resolved, etc. We can now do that with OpsGenie Incidents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OpsGenie is relatively new to the alerting world (compared to existing competitors), but they seem to be doing a lot of things right! We evaluated about a dozen other services before settling on OpsGenie. They were the best in terms of features AND price. Make sure you consider all of your alerting sources and see which service supports all of them. For us, only OpsGenie fully supported every alert source we had.

Solid service

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, heaps of integrations. Cheaper than alternative systems

Phone integration is expensive. We’ve experienced occasional outages with the heartbeat system

Get notified of outages and urgent requests

I use OpsGenie as a Systems Engineer everyday

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Team based groups, with scheduling timelines and calendars.
What do you dislike about the product?
General alert fatigue, just like with any other monitoring system. Can't live without it and can't stand alerts blowing up notifications when systems go down but let's face it.. it's needed and required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated "Scheduled" On-call Rotations, Engaged Monitoring, Team Setup, Awesome Integrations as well. Proper teams (such as network engineering or systems engineering teams) can be held responsible for the alerts they acknowledge or miss for that matter. Without OpsGenie I would not get woken up in the middle of the night when i really needed to be. We're also able to maintain complete control without hosting it on-premise as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
At least "trial it". It is very feature full and can be as simplified or complex as you make it. The mobile app is also great and offers push notifications. I can get important alerts via email, sms, call, push notification, etc. It is all around a very good product and i would have a hard time telling someone to not at least try it out for their self.

OpsGenie works great for us

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Configurability of alert groups and escalations. We were unable to set up our alerting and escalations in a way that worked for us in PagerDuty. But OpsGenie made it really easy. The Looker integration is awesome too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the UI can be a little dense, where the item you're looking for is not where you expect it to be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex alerting and escalation across all levels of support, security and engineering. OpsGenie has simplified the setup of this, where it's now easy to do what we need.

OpsGenie Transition

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Transition to OpsGenie, which involved setup of several support teams across multiple business units and multiple state and country local numbers was a breeze. As we continue to expand our 24/7 offerings the ability to setup new users, add new schedules and create new integrations is always smooth.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little to dislike, some feature requests we have brought to OpsGenie's attention they are happy to hear and consider as future additions to product capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our previous 24/7 call provider was physically staffed and riddled with human error and frustrations. Transitioning our customers to OpsGenie was been refreshing as we have gotten nothing but positive feedback on the ability to connect with us quickly no matter the time of day.

Great system. Just a shame we have to use it :)

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Really like the mobile app. Ability to override DND mode on android devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Microsoft Teams integration is not as good as the slack one. Although that may be more of a limitations of teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General monitoring for our system. It gives alot of insight into the health of our app.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Much better to implement with android phones than apple ones.

An easy to use and reliable on-call tool.

  • December 01, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to send alerts and define new ones programatically. De-duplication is also great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I struggle with the UX on mobile sometimes (being unable to find who is going to be on call next and adding future overrides)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpsGenie fully supports our on-call rotation and it would've been near impossible to maintain our platform up and running without it.
