Although all the other products are also great but AlertOps has same and infact some better functionalities at less and better prices than other tools. AlertOps also offers free trail version which allows the users to take the demo and have a better understanding of the …

There were more features and more ways to contact the provider. Ring Central would send out a call. I don't remember sending an email or text when I was paged. It seemed it was only an app on my phone and not located on my computer, where I could access it when I was working on …
Chose PagerDuty
Based on price and need, PagerDuty was the best option
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty has its advantages and costs associated. We use alternative to mitigate risk of failure, priority and effectiveness.
Chose PagerDuty
Better at the immediate response workflow
Chose PagerDuty
most of the team members were familiar with pagerduty and since its battletested and widely adopted and pricing was also competitive hence we have chosen pagerduty
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty provides better cost to value, and also includes AI based recommendations. Overall automatons possibilities are also great with this and since we have multiple integrations as well as we cannot easily to existing systems.
For us the responsive and helpful sales team …
Chose PagerDuty
We have not used another product in this space.
Chose PagerDuty
I like the PagerDuty much more than the FreshService UI. I find Freshservice to be extremly clunky and hard to use
Chose PagerDuty
Pagerduty is user adaptive and an indsutry leader in the incident managment/alerting management.
Chose PagerDuty
We have used Five9 for other features but haven't seriously considered using them for replacing PagerDuty. Our company already had PagerDuty when I joined and we haven't evaluated any other option.
Chose PagerDuty
PD is a set-it-and-forget-it solution. The application is reliable, has many features, and will drag a tech out of the deepest sleep so to put out a fire. Opsgenie is clunky at best. It can work, but the paging is unreliable, the schedule is a nightmare, and the integrations …
Chose PagerDuty
I have not use the 2 technologies for as long as I have used PagerDuty but in my opinion PagerDuty makes things a lot easier. The other tools got the job done and got alerts out but PagerDuty just seemed to make the setup for on-call alert schedules and integrations easier …
Chose PagerDuty
Pingdom is used alongside PagerDuty but it doesn't have the features to replace it. The two compliment each other very well.
Chose PagerDuty
It is hard to compare these solutions.
PagerDuty is currently being used in SaaS version, whereas Grafana & Loki are mainly implemented next to the packaged app.
The second solution, although time consuming and requiring maintenance is still a viable option. However, PagerDuty …
Chose PagerDuty
I worked at one company that used VictorOps (now Splunk On-Call) and it was quite similar to PagerDuty. VictorOps had a smaller customer base and fewer integrations, so there was less information on the Internet about how to use it effectively, and I don't think its API was as …
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty seemed to have a much more flexible setup that allowed the organization to build and manage how we respond to alerts and incidents. The ServiceNow product seemed to be a bit more rigid.
Chose PagerDuty
New relic is an excellent monitoring tool but the alerting features in PagerDuty make it a better option for event management.
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty has matched our expectations so far in terms of the quality and quantity of functionalities offered to manage incidents effectively. Other tools being considered during the purchase phase were quite expensive and failed to offer the features we required. They had …
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty is easy to integrate with API and cloud platforms also the solution is based on licenses per user which is kind of useful

Overall the AlertOps has been a great software for the company . The software constantly works in the background and keeps the team updated on any issues in advance. It helps us with the entire Incident Management of Tickets that includes Incident Prioritization. It helps in Audit Trail, Incident Reporting and Task Management as well. It helps in monitoring of Tickets real time. I think any company that wants it's services to be monitored, managed properly would like to have this software

I've used ICM in the past which has been a very Microsoft product with everything thrown into a blender. So, PD implementation is a breath of fresh air with focused pages to achieve the end goal. If the goal is to collaborate on issues across the organization, PD might not be the best solution but within specific teams, PD excels at it.

Read full review
  • Alerting notifications is its best attribute; it will continue to make contact until the alert is acknowledged by a user.
  • The calendar view provides valuable information regarding who is on call by the team and their full contact information.
  • The application also lets you initiate a tech bridge meeting instantly and notifies all on-call users.

Cons
  • Notifications alert can be a little late at times
  • User Interface can be quite confusing to new users
  • Some alerts are generated unnecessarily.

  • When getting a phone call, PagerDuty doesn't seem to allow acknowledgments of alerts through the phone, which it says it does. I constantly receive a message that it was updated by another person - when in reality, it wasn't.
  • Smarter notifications. If an alert was snoozed for a time, when it comes back, it sends out another alert. It should, I think, send a message asking if the alert is still an issue and give the option to close.
  • Make schedule changes more intuitive.
  • One button to acknowledge and close an alert.

They have been rock solid for us thus far and are not very expensive and to be honest no time to evaluate other software at this point.

As I've been using this app for the last 3 years, I would like to see a few additions, like exposing the "create slack channel" option from the mobile app, rather than just from the PD website from the specific incident
