Best Solution for our Needs
What do you like best about the product?
the ease of use is the best asset of this software. This is the best standby solution we have ever used.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike is it lacks the ability to change schedules on the app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is the best standby solution we have used. It is well worth it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well worth it
Flawless service
What do you like best about the product?
We have had pagerduty for almost a decade and has never had any issues. I believe there was only one time I did not get a page but I think is was related to the oncall cell phone being out of service range.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was difficult to learn at the time because of so many bells and whistles
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We never miss a call
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We currently do not use PagerDuty to the extent of it's capabilities. It has the ability to do soooo much more.
Great Solution to a Problem!
What do you like best about the product?
Pager Duty's customizability is fantastic and we love the fact that we can adjust schedules/escalation policies so easily, as well as that each user can set their own preferred alert method (call, versus push notification, versus email, versus text)
What do you dislike about the product?
Costs are incredibly high once you exceed 6 users, so as a result we don't purchase it for all employees even though we want to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to provide much faster alerting to on-call employees so there is no longer a discrepancy with who is supposed to respond after hours.
Great tool to alert the team in case of an incident
What do you like best about the product?
1. Ease of creating schedules and escalation policy
2. Support for the various alerting mediums and users customization according to his/her preference
2. Support for the various alerting mediums and users customization according to his/her preference
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be an option to
1. alert the person on call multiple times before escalating
2. escalate one by one in the next layer and stop escalating if someone already acknowledges the alert

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Alerting the team in case of an incident
2. Automatic alerts via metric monitors
3. It's good to not involve (get the attention of) everyone in the team in case of an incident
4. Escalation policies to alert the next level on call

Never had issues, Easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the fact that the majority of all my teams use it so collecting metrics on our applications is easy. I can log in rather quickly get to each of my teams and see or change their schedules for being on call. I can also pull metrics on how many deployments we have done over a certain period of time which is helpful for reporting team performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were easier ways to filter out only my few teams, maybe have a special view per delivery stream.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling developers to be on call in case one of our apps are down or not working properly. We are making sure someone around the clock is available to handle critical issues.
Very good product
What do you like best about the product?
All the different ways to can opt-in for notification and the mobile app features and notifications as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, have not had any negative experiences
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On-Call. Benefits are folks are notified off hours to jump on a mission critical problem
Recommendations to others considering the product:
None
Constant improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool for visibility and 24/7 after-hours incident scheduling. Extensive feature set and widely supported by other monitoring tools as an escalation tool. Great tool for visibility and 24/7 after-hours incident scheduling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alerts from sources like Zabbix, Icinga, Stackdriver, etc. often don't clear from PagerDuty after clearing from the source. Does not interact well with anti-flapping measures like those featured in Icinga.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
24/7 after-hours support. Incident response. Giving context to incidents + outages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be prepared for many sleepless nights. Pager Duty will help show you just how broken your infrastructure really is if you implement it properly.
Hassle-free and complete
What do you like best about the product?
That the configuration is easy and streamlined for on-call.
What do you dislike about the product?
That there aren't multiple routes so having multiple levels os escalation is kind of hard. Every account should have the option to ring multiple people in order, not together because that's not really helpful and getting an additional account to build our escalation hierarchy doesn't justify the already expensive price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping dev and DevOps on call rotation. This is integral for our uptimes and overall monitoring of our infrastructure.
Software needs care and the developers need to be happy with their job. The scheduling and planning overhead is something that the developers don't want to deal with. PagerDuty takes that complexity away and overall leads to better time management and performance on the devs part and keeps everyone happy. Also, it's easy to track down effort and overall output from the program.
PagerDuty also goes a long way with very nice integrations with other apps that people use, a beautifully written API and to top it all of, a nice and intuitive UI for the not-so-code savvy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
