Excellent!
What do you like best about the product?
Pager Duty is the best application for sending and tracking notifications of any kind to our team. It has drastically improved our operations by reliably sending notifications and keeping everyone else up to date on the team. The on-call schedule is one of the features that brought us to PD as well as the native mobile apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to merge similar incidents are lacking the ability to merge notes and incident details. We'd like to at least see the notes from multiple incidents merge into one when we need to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has greatly improved our quality of life since we are able to maintain a specific on-call schedule and our management team knows that alerts are being delivered to the right people and can track who's responding and who's not.

What do you dislike about the product?
1)on call schedule is a little difficult to read from a cell phone
2) Would like to see the "before I go on call" feature exposed on a team or escalation policy level. So, rather than specifying or reminding a specific user, why not expose this, and set a reminder for the entire on call team.
3)would like to see a "follow the sun" schedule example, as this is a common request for companies with team in other geos.
4)PagerDuty gives a user the ability to be added without specifying a phone number? (: It shouldn't.
Meaning, someone can be on call, and no phone number is listed.
5)would like to ability re-organize layers.
- if a layer is removed, it does not give user the option to add the back without the information

An absolute necessity for any SaS busnines
What do you like best about the product?
The mobile app comes in real handy. Everything you need is right there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably replying in text message to ack might be a bit more convenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure your infrastructure is always up and running. Pager duty keeps people on call always aware if something needs attention.
PagerDuty makes on-call scheduling and response simple
What do you like best about the product?
I love that my team has a primary and secondary on-call schedule. I love that overrides are super easy. I love that schedule changes are easy to make. I love that escalation policies just work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like getting pages... but I guess that's the whole point of PagerDuty. To be fair, I don't think anybody likes getting pages. PagerDuty really does make on-call simple though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PagerDuty has made on-call much easier. No more trying to remember who is on-call. No more carrying an escalation list. No more crossing my fingers and hoping some other team will respond. It all is right there and easy to do.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please get it. You won't regret it.
Keeps us on top of operations
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to trigger alerts, keep on top of them and compare with prior alerts to manage our systems and our client's systems. It's easy to separate critical blocker level errors with items that need attention but that doesn't need attention on a 24/7 basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
As much as we love PagerDuty, we hate when we see the name come through because it means that something has been triggered and needs our attentions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We take a proactive approach to operations instead of a reactive approach. Long gone are the days of clients telling us something is wrong. We monitor typical failure points along with application specific items and metrics to provide a smooth experience for our clients and their clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're already using a similar service, mirror some of the alerting with it to compare the ease of use and the integrations. If you're new to a service like this, and if you have anything running on the Internet, you should be using this. Period.
Simple and Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
I like that PagerDuty allows you to use as many, or as few, features as you need to get the job done. They do not force new features on you nor do they try to pressure you into spending more money. The software just works, and is easy for us to integrate with all of our systems. I also enjoy that they have such an open API, we have built custom tooling around the API which has helped us greatly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the on-call scheduling was a little more robust. It's great, but would be much better if I could apply rules like "nobody should be on call for more than two consecutive days".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing who is on-call without having to remember to "pass" the pager to someone. We used to have paging software that relied on us moving the current on-call team member into an Active Directory group. With PagerDuty we manage everything through the pager duty website. That alone has gotten around a lot of the strange on-call rotation issues we had in the past, like only flipping the pager to a new team member when everyone was online.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the free trial and make sure you fully explore/understand the scheduling system, it is very powerful.
Pagerduty review
What do you like best about the product?
The reduction of false positives. In the past alerting would wake we up when no action was required.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only minor issues to report. The override scheduling can be a confusing experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have standard alerting from multiple monitoring services worldwide. Also automatic scheduling of all call personnel.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pagerduty took multiple alerting systems and standardized them for all of our business units making it much simpler to support.
Very good alerting platform
What do you like best about the product?
Pager duty has some nice quality of life features. Sometimes you need someone to cover because life happens. PagerDuty make overrides easy for those moments when you cant be on call during your scheduled shift.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to snooze an alert more than 24 hours
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alerting for critical production processes
It Just Works
What do you like best about the product?
I never have to worry if I will get notified when there is an issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more scheduled escalation policies in the Lite version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we have a production infrastructure issue, We rely on PagerDuty to let us know. One huge benefit is the Analytics, i can easier justify my time and the time that it takes to complete an incident.
Reliable, easy to use service
What do you like best about the product?
I really like three things. First is the ability to set up on-call schedules that will automatically call the appropriate person. I also like the automatic escalation, in case a call gets missed. Finally, I like that it works on standard cell phones, no need to have separate paging devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any dislikes. I am much happier with PagerDuty that I was with my old paging company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using PagerDuty we would miss support calls from time-to-time. Since we started using PagerDuty we have not missed a single support call in the 6 years we have used PagerDuty.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have found PagerDuty to be very reliable. We have not missed a service call since we started using PagerDuty.
