An essential alerting tool

  • February 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
PagerDuty is reliable; reliability is particularly important for a product like this. PagerDuty integrates with all of the other monitoring tools we use. Integrations are simple and well-documented. The on-call scheduling features are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
PagerDuty is not the prettiest, and the UI is sometimes confusing. This is exacerbated by the fact that you (hopefully) won't be using the UI often enough to remember where all of the configuration options are hidden.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PagerDuty to notify the team when our software is down or degraded. Integrating such notification features with monitoring tools is not trivial; that saves us engineering time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
PagerDuty is reliable; you can be confident that PagerDuty will notify you when you should be notified.

What do you like best about the product?
The alerts are quite easy to set up and the UI are fairly simple to understand. If not, the support is there and quick to respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
The alerts get a bit spammy and noisy, can’t seem to find the mute for the new alerts if we’re already aware of the issue, and instead we’ve received tons of new alerts and can only snooze the alerts that have already happened.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spam, Fraud, and infra. Quick turnaround time

Engineer who uses Pager Duty for production alerting.

What do you like best about the product?
Pager Duty is so easy to integrate with the most popular languages. We were able to get it integrated with our codebase in no time.
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface is not so easy to use and its intuitive, it lacks features. Each time i use the UI, i forget how i did the past time to get something configured, eventually we get there but its not easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Realtime production system monitoring. Gives the flexibility for the team to stay focussed on production while doing production support.

What do you like best about the product?
* Alerts are noisy which is nice.
* Has nice slack integration, rollbar, and other services
* Mobile app is decent.
What do you dislike about the product?
* Scheduling an override is pretty difficult and you have to do it in multiple places since we have different roles (e.g. primary, secondary).
* Email notifications of when I'm going to primary from secondary are a bit noisy but perhaps those can be controlled with some settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accountability for site reliability. => Alerts when something is on fire.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the industry standard so chances are you using it for site monitoring is high. I suggest playing around with it before you actually go "on call" with it so you don't receive any surprises.
