Using PagerDuty
What do you like best about the product?
I love its integrability with many platforms. As a company we use an awful lot of different services and connected platforms, and it makes sense to have a platform agnostic service like pagerduty which allows us to connect to many different things together and give us alerts. I really like that no matter what platform our services are on such as AWS, Azure, or any other web service, I'm able to get alerts and integrate them very quickly into pagerduty and then if there are ever any incidents that arise I can trust that someone on my team will be able to address it quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it's great! I haven't had an issue with it. We have had a great increase in our response time and time to completion for incidents that arise with any problems our customers might be having. Before using pagerduty, we weren't as quick to solve the issues because it would get confusing and burdensome for people that were mainly assigned to dealing with these problems. However now we are able to address these issues quickly and there is no confusion about who is responsible for what. The on-call scheduling system helps us deal with that quite a bit and I can't be more happy with how it has been. I have never had an issue with pagerduty and it has been great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have lots of alerts that come in from our micro-service system, and it's great to have on-call scheduling to deal with those. We have a great system now for addressing problems that arise quickly. I love being able to use pagerduty for my phone and email, it is pretty great because whenever an incident arises in production environments or even in development environments, I'm able to quickly see what is the problem by looking at my device and getting an alert whenever I am on call. It's very clear to me that this software platform allows me to very quickly address incidents. For example I have had times where a production incident would happen at night time and if I'm on a call I'm able to see that something is happening, whereas if we didn't have a system in place for this, then I would basically never know until the next business day, which could be too late to address the issue. The on-call scheduling also makes it so that no one person on the team is overburdened by support issues. I also love being able to access the pagerduty platform in browser so then when I'm at my desk I can also address any tickets that have come up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend pagerduty to any company or small team that needs to have good management for on-call scheduling and addressing support and production issues as they arise. Greatly clarifies which way to address issues and helps you plan and support your customers better. I've never had a single issue with page Duty and then make it really easy to deal with anything. It is seriously a silver bullet in the war against support tasks.

Pager Duty is very helpful
What do you like best about the product?
How we can manage the schedules and still be notified when there are outages. It helped us eliminate the pager..now I only carry my phone around and not an archaic pager as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only dislike, but most likely just needs some tweaking, is it opens a new incident on interfaces coming back up instead of closing the down incident.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy pager rotation..no longer need to pass off a pager physically. You're good to receive notifications through wifi or LTE.
Easy to integrate, hard to live without
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the lightweight nature of PagerDuty and the fact that it easily integrates with all of our third-party services like Slack, Datadog, and M/Monit. The Slack integration especially makes it very easy to interact with triggers, and there's even a Hubot integration that allows for easy access to PagerDuty triggering and OnCall information. We've had PagerDuty since nearly the founding of the company, and it has been a pillar of our Operations team and our critical response efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing on the fault of PagerDuty, but it's somewhat obnoxious when a monit timeout forces a manual trigger resolution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Pagerduty for it's basic purpose, to alert on major issues with our running systems, to manage OnCall rotations and to get a hold of OnCall personnel when something is failing. It's been an especially useful metric for our system resilience as well: Good Monitoring + Fewer Alerts = higher resilience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a lightweight and integration-rich application for OnCall-rotation management, Systems Alerts, and incident response management, PagerDuty is second-to-none.
Perfect Tool for Incident management
What do you like best about the product?
Integrations with external services. For example, Slack, email alerts, etc., Managing the shift schedule and overlapping without changing the original schedule, adding/removing the resources from the schedule, and analytics like ticket handled by each team and each user.
What do you dislike about the product?
Scheduling is quite complex for beginners, once we get to use to it, it will be easy work. To overcome this issue, if you have some video guide, that would be a real help.
Timezone issue on the schedule. For example, one engineer is in the GMT timezone and another engineer is in IST Timezone. But this shift schedule displaying a common timezone for every other location user. I would recommend adding the auto timezone deduction based on the location. And if user changes the timezone, layer is not changing accordingly. It will still show the same time. Let's say there is a layer, that starts from 8:00 am GMT to 1:00 pm GMT. if the user changes the time zone from GMT to IST, the layer also should change as per the IST time zone. Instead, it will still show as 8:00 am IST to 1:00 pm IST. This is a kind of overhead while defining the shift schedule at first.

Reducing the system monitoring effect. Once we integrated with email alerts and slack, we will not miss any incidents. Mostly I have integrated PagerDuty for Teradata related issues. I have linked PagerDuty and Email for Teradata related alerts. And I have integrated with Slack Application. This helps the non-technical business users to raise the pagerDuty ticket with simple command.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are managing 24x7 operations team, dont want to spend time on active monitoring, then PagerDuty is the right choice. If rightly integrate your setup and shift roaster, then your shift will be easier.
Simple, api-driven service for alerting and escalation
What do you like best about the product?
The extensibility through plugins is top-notch
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is a bit obtuse, and like many of their competitors, there is a sso-tax
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having one place to replace someone being on pto/unavailable is crucial

Start with defining an incident, and who must respond
