    Pros:
    PagerDuty is used to send alert notifications to developer, We can use it in a way that when ever failure occurs notify the developer who is scheduled to be on-call, Even a customer escalation to a email can trigger a pagerDuty notification alert, when the receiver email ID is subscribed with PagerDuty, PagerDuty has escalation policies , in which multiple users can be in different level, if level 1 failed to resolve the issue, the level 2 dev gets a alert etc .. and the dev's can be scheduled to rotate there levels in fixed time intervals, like weekly bases, It Dose a good job of maintaining the issue states & the alerted issue has different lifecycle such as triggered, acknowledged , resolved, snoozed, It maintains analytical dashboards on dev's which shows the responsiveness of the developer , like how many issues they have resolved and what is the average resolution time or have they escalated it etc .. it maintains history of alerts, it has good customer support, the resolution note's can also be added against the alert, We can configure the alerts as Low and High Urgency , based on which we can have different type of notifications, types of notifications are phone call, message, email, push notification in pd app etc ... pagerDuty deduplicates the alerts with same message, if a incident is in open state and if same incident occurs again and again , it will not be raised.
    Cons:
    Sometimes when i resolve the alert on web, i still get a call on phone, If the incident was resigned by the developer to a other user who is not in the escalation policy and if he did not answer the alert the escalation chain stops, instead it should be thrown back to older escalation policy from ware it begun

    PagerDuty : A solution to almost every problem you didn't know you had yet

    5

    The software just works. We have had almost thirty thousand alerts flow through PagerDuty since we first started using it. The software completely replaced a rather broken SMS / Email alert chain overnight and has been by far the most valuable product we have purchased for keeping our system uptime levels where they need to be. Lastly a personal experience which I will always cherish. It's a snowy winter day and you're on call, but you needed paperless, and cat food, and pedlyte and diapers and other bits, so you took your 2 year old to a big box store. You're all the way at the back of the store and your phone goes off with "Something's broken... Something's Broken... It's your Fault! ... It's your Fault!..." In the box store, with a full cart and a toddler. Next thing you know... you're flying through the box store to the front, diapers falling out of the cart, sippy cup lost, toys missing, and toddler singing along with your phone since he now knows the words quite well. Get to the front, abandon the cart, the two children's voices still going full tilt, and get out to the parking lot just in the nick of time to production by ninja resizing a set of boxes as they are almost to the point of falling all over themselves. No one noticed. Thanks to PagerDuty. And now I'm *still* known as "The Something's Broken" dude by the managers of that store. They sing it to me every time I'm there 2 years later.

    Pros:
    Integration with CloudWatch, webhooks, Jira is outstanding, functional, and reliable. The application has gotten better over the years I have used it. Handles real issues in real time with everything you need Allows on-call individuals to customize their notification scheme to fit their life. Having full control over when, where and how you are "dinged" is just awesome.
    Cons:
    It's a little expensive per user if you need simple API things. The rule set for routing isn't as good as VictorOps for the same price point. PagerDuty is missing a "default route" option like VictorOps has. This is minor, because it's rather trivial to setup an extra account and use that "extra dummy account" as the "Default". I'm counting this as a "con" since we have had to do this for every single deployment of PagerDuty I've worked on where we wish to have alerts go to a team, but not actually notify anyone. Lastly, business-hours-only alerting is a little weak. (Maybe it has gotten better.) Every implementation I've found, we need to have some sort of queued' alerts which we don't want to wake us up in the middle of the night but we want to or need to know about next business day situation we have had to work hard to implement in PagerDuty.

    Reasons for choosing PagerDuty

    I like VictorOps, but I trusted PagerDuty. At the time, it had everything we needed. We have expanded a bit since then and I have tried out alternatives on other projects for kicks. PagerDuty will always be my first choice.

    Pros:
    We've used this for the past couple years, and it's a great tool that can be set up with various integrations that can be used to call,text or email a developer on call. We even integrated it with Hipchat and Microsoft teams. Escalation policies can be set up and it really helps when one person drops the ball.
    Cons:
    The services, teams and escalation policies is very confusing and hard to set up at first.

    A Modern and Reliable Incident Management Platform - PagerDuty

    5

    We have been using PagerDuty for a few months now and have been really pleased with the experience. The incident response capabilities have been invaluable in helping us quickly address any operational issues. The user interface is easy to use and the integration capabilities have been especially helpful. We have experienced a few hiccups with customer support, but otherwise our experience has been positive.

    Pros:
    PagerDuty is a modern and reliable incident management platform that has simplified the way our team deals with operational issues. It has an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to navigate and manage all aspects of incident response. It also provides detailed insights on incidents and their root causes, allowing us to quickly identify and address any issues. The integration capabilities have been especially helpful in allowing us to quickly integrate into our existing systems and processes.
    Cons:
    The only downside we have encountered with PagerDuty is that the pricing can be somewhat expensive for smaller businesses. Additionally, the customer support could use some improvement, as responses are sometimes slow.

    Reasons for switching to PagerDuty

    Compared to other incident management solutions, PagerDuty stands out in terms of its intuitive user interface, detailed insights, and integration capabilities. The ability to quickly integrate with existing systems and processes has been invaluable in streamlining our incident response process. Additionally, the pricing is more reasonable than some of the other solutions on the market. Overall, PagerDuty is an excellent choice for businesses looking for an efficient and reliable incident management platform.

    Pros:
    PagerDuty very easy to configure and use, I've given access to team leads with no instructions and they've been up and running that day.
    Cons:
    It'd be great if PagerDuty could integrate with all versions of Jira natively without a 3rd party plugin.

    Reasons for switching to PagerDuty

    VictorOps was complicated to configure and not meeting our business needs. We had 6 PagerDuty domains and 1 VictorOps instance - after surveying those using both PagerDuty and VictorOps it was clear to us PagerDuty was meeting our business needs and had great user acceptance. The teams using VictorOps were perpetually unhappy with it and it was not meeting the business requirements. As a result, we consolidated our PagerDuty domains and expanded its use to include more teams.

    As much as i hate to see a call from pagerduty, i know its doing its job. Its served the purpose well, its rare that we have to login and change settings since you can ack and resolve from phone, or slack. You could add snooze option to the slackbot, that would be awesome!

    Pros:
    - The flow of events, mainly. How it goes from Triggered, to ACK, to resolved with snooze options, it feels natural. - Notification flow: How I can set up to notify my phone, wait two minutes before texting me, and wait five minutes before calling me. - Slack integration
    Cons:
    - Configuration can use some redesign. Its hard to find some settings sometimes. I told a coworker about updating notifications, and it took them a while to figure out where they can do that. - Some important features are hidden behind a higher tier plan, eg: analytics.

    The best option if you need to be alerted for when things go down

    5

    We were tired of paging everyone all the time on things going down or coming back up. Now it pages one person during business hours only. Also if the server comes back up it'll close the ticket for us and resolve the call. Our admins can now sleep at nights and not have to respond to every page with people trying to figure out who is handling the situation.
