Love PagerDuty
What do you like best about the product?
PagerDuty is customizable which is perfect for our environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that we don't utilize all the different modes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PagerDuty for our after hours "on-call" duties. This allows us to be on top of incidents and get the correct people responding quicker than a call tree or other options.

Assigning incidents to right people at right time
What do you like best about the product?
A powerful alerting mechanism helps quickly connect security incidents and outages to right people.
I love the way it is designed to escalate incidents to people at many levels. It guarantees that an incident must be notified to at least a right person.

What do you dislike about the product?
In the case where a person answers "Acknowledged", I would like it to have an easier way to temporarily turn off repeated alerts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are in cloud services business. Any application and/or cloud service that is down for a long time can cause customers and revenue loss. So PagerDuty is a too important tool to us.
Consolidated Incident Resolution
What do you like best about the product?
Pager Duty has a plethora of built-in plugins that have made integration a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve when it comes to creating the desired state of alerting, calling, email, text and app notifications. In the first few months, it can tend to be a bit overwhelming until the alerting components are reigned in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By far the greatest benefit from PagerDuty has been the ability to consolidate a majority of our alerting tools to one software. The incident resolution tool is excellent for providing transparency across teams.
PagerDuty is reliable, albeit slightly convoluted at times.
What do you like best about the product?
After using PagerDuty at multiple companies for several years, I can honestly say I don't believe I've ever experienced a missed notification. It's quite reliable, and the having the API is extremely useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way the schedules / services / escalation policies / etc is structured can be a little convoluted at times, and sometimes results in the need for rather complex configurations to accomplish some fairly common schedules. The API also returns unexpected results, for instance setting certain constraints (escalation policy for example) will return results from other escalations as well, and I'm not entirely sure what is going on. I end up doing more filtering on the client end, which I think shouldn't be necessary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Obviously service outage notifications. Also with use of the API we are able to get good data on our outage metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Setup and configuration can take some time, especially if you have large numbers of teams, any sort of complex schedules, etc. If you rely heavily on API use, it is there and fully featured, but the caveats are query constraints sometimes don't constrain as much as one would hope / expect, so just be aware when working with the API. Overall though, very solid service, and in my person experience of over 5 years as a customer, it's been extremely reliable. I've relied on it for notifications of problems with live production services, and it's never failed to deliver a notification, never had any issues in that area at all. In my opinion, the reliability of notification is the thing that makes this service the only one to use if you have a serious production service for which you can NOT afford to miss a page.

Tiered level notifications which work for escalations when first level does nto respond
