    Cons
    PagerDuty
    • When I open PagerDuty the page does look a little cluttered or busy.
    • It would be nice to go to the page with clear and straightforward instructions on what I must address.
    • Ability to change the color background.

    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.

    Usability
    PagerDuty
    The UI is more complex than I would like. Part of the challenge is that most users use PagerDuty infrequently; I don't remember how I changed a policy last time. Another part of the challenge is that some users expect alerting to be a trivial feature, and are reluctant to invest any time in reading the documentation.

    PagerDuty
    OpsGenie was useful, mainly for teams already using Atlassian tools, and xMatters was good for handling team communication during incidents, but PagerDuty felt more complete for managing the full incident process in one place. We went with PagerDuty because it manages alerts, escalations, and on-call duties in a more organized and dependable way, which fits better with how our teams work daily.
