Pagerduty Makes on call rotations easy
What do you like best about the product?
Managing on call schedules via Pagerduty, and having on call responsibility automatically following the schedule. No more people forgetting to switch the on call # to the right person!
What do you dislike about the product?
Incidents automatically resolving at the end of the phone call.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using PagerDuty to ensure all our after hour incidents are handled in a timely fashion.
A great addition to the on-call toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
Pagerduty allows us to do the right level of alerting, to the right groups of people, and allow for escalation in case the initial notification is missed.
What do you dislike about the product?
This isn't a negative against PagerDuty per se, but our monitoring software, unfortunately, doesn't have an API that allows us to directly interface the two--we have to use email parsing rules in order to properly flag and categorize alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to PagerDuty we were using a spray-and-pray approach to on-call, meaning we had to alert all on-call personnel and have an expectation that the right person will pay attention and the folks not on call will ignore it.
It does what it's meant to do
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it integrates nicely with other applications like calendar and slack. The cellphone app works great and never had an issue while paging or being paged.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the design is overall a bit uninteresting and feels a bit old.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for on-call rotations and paging whenever there are incidents.
Does the job well
What do you like best about the product?
works well from the app or web UI, can integrate with other systems, such as Cisco Webex Teams
managing the on-call schedule, e.g. overrides

What do you dislike about the product?
being on-call and getting paged is a bummer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
knowing who is on call for what and when - I can just page the responsible team, and not have to know which person to contact
Good Application to Manage On Call
What do you like best about the product?
PagerDuty is an all in one solution for maintaining on call rotations. It's easy to use and configurable to your specific needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is having to be on call. Nobody likes being woken up at three in the morning because a system you are monitoring went down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy management of incidents within our organization and easier management of on call schedules.
Common sense DevOps/SRE tool
What do you like best about the product?
PagerDuty allows us to connect critical metrics and uptime monitoring to a blunt instrument which wakes up our IT staff and escalates as necessary. It saves us the embarrassment of finding out about our downtime from our customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be entirely honest, I've not found much to dislike about PagerDuty, except perhaps when it's my turn to take the after hours call. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We connect Riemann, Pingdom and other internal monitoring tools to PagerDuty. PagerDuty helps us respond to outages before our customers even know.
Works well
What do you like best about the product?
The abilitiy to schedule multiple teams is great
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like greater visibility into the alert trends. Not sure if that's included in analytics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's changed the way we do our on call - the alert now includes the common fixes used and our resolution time has decreased for it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lm integration is fantastic - game changer
Good customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Once I wrote a review and they contact me for suggestions of how to improve the service.
What do you dislike about the product?
It takes a bit effort to understand how to set up schedules and change them temporarily, let's say when a user is on vacations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We depend on this to prevent down times 24/7/365, or to know we're down quickly
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it
Very good and reliable service
What do you like best about the product?
Reliability - working years with the product, it never missed an event.
Flexibility of defining schedules and escalation paths
Integration - easy integration modules with almost any monitoring system out there.
Good mobile app linkage

Good mobile app linkage
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing - we are a startup that wants 10+ engineers to be on call with some pre-defined schedule. The current pricing model gets to a high monthly cost which we therefore had to reduce the on call engineers. I'd rather see pricing based on actual activity rather than # of on-call engineers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting my on call engineers paged whenever there is a critical issue in our service. They are pinged via the mobile app as well as using a phone call.
I can't see how a startup can run a SaaS business with clients demanding high uptime and 24x7 operations without anything like PagerDuty.

Awesome Service
What do you like best about the product?
100% uptime, user friendly, phone, PC and Tablet compatibility, reports and graphs, alerting options
What do you dislike about the product?
The graphs can be confusing sometimes but otherwise it is okay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My system uptime, especially the e-Commerce websites, any downtime encountered a mail is sent to pagerduty for the latter to call our support team 24/7
