OnPage vs. OpsGenie

The best solution for OnPage is a small company with a small On-Call Team. The reason for this is because of how many it can trigger in a 30-minute time span. It's really good with us IT people as we understand the urgency of the call and we can react with the ticket. This gives the end-user peace of mind. This product would not be good for a large-scale company. It would not scale well for thousands of users.

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.

• Delivers prompt messages with important information for patient call back
• Overrides phone ring settings if needed to ensure a sound is made if desired and no pages are missed
• Repeats pages frequently if not opened initially, so they are not forgotten

Incentivized

• Notifying through all the possible way like sms,mail and call.
• Ita shows the activity log it is usefull when your paging team through the incident through that you can check who has acknowledged or not.
• Notify the alerts to engineer as well as you can also add the description about alerts related what is it.
• Here you can schedule for on-call engineers

• Not really a "downside": because it works so well, any details we haven't documented from our initial setup are probably lost. It's been almost four years since our initial configuration, and I can no longer easily navigate the OnPage site because I literally haven't logged in since the initial implementation.

• 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.

It works and is reliable

Easy to use both web and phone based application.

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

I had no part of the implementation

OnPage is the first we chose and would not change that. The ability to link to our CSM, RMM, and technicians on the road has made this the best solution. Our team is able to use the current setup to make custom alerts based on the ticket details. This allows for all of our future needs to be covered.

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

I have had no concerns

Incentivized

• Eliminated the concern that on-call personnel were not notified of an issue at all or on a timely basis
• The reasonable cost, ease of use and reliability reassured management that any issues arising would be handled quickly
• Users disliked carrying the bulky, unreliable and battery operated pagers. Today all users carry cell phones and can easily install and manage OnPage software

• Helped us track bugs and issues that came up during product launch periods which reduced overhead that normally came with needing to manually contact the right team members
• 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
