It is great for monitoring internet connections.
The agent installed on Windows works efficiently and takes up little resources. The method of settling costs is not very clear.
There should also be a table with the current list of costs visible.

Incident response is well suited to OpsGenie, and this is where it really shines—whether it's an outage, a security incident, or similar. My experience is mostly with security, and it offers a great audit trail. It minimises the need to cut and paste from different platforms when creating reports and ensures that what was said and what was done (along with any evidence) is persisted and reflected in the incident detail.

  • OpsGenie New Jira design has made it difficult for those not familiar with that style.
  • OpsGenie could benefit from nested escalation flows for team schedules. Creating a product alert that uses and Tech Schedule as well as an Incident Manager Schedule that already exists would create less overhead and ease management.

In general terms OpsGenie is a well done tool for solving the alert incident management, the usability is super ok during the configuration and during the alert. The main opportunity I found is the reporting and analytics section which is a little difficult to understand at a first sight and the refresh is not automatic, some little frictions but frictions at all

Panopta management from the cloud (remote panel).
Easy work on installation.
To monitor servers, it is enough for the server to have contact only with the Internet.

Multiple channels for sending notifications.

We also looked at PagerDuty but decided to go with OpsGenie as it had more features on the plan we needed compared to PagerDuty which would have required us to spend a lot more for what we felt were non-premium features. Everything felt like an add-on - automation for an additional $20 a user per month seemed like a lot on top of the base plan

  • Prevented last minute breaking issues from falling through the cracks, decreased time to fix by automatically alerting the team members and allowing the product and project teams to easily see what active alerts are in progress
