Considered Both Products
PagerDuty
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty is faster and has no downtime which makes it better than almost any other incident management application.
Chose PagerDuty
Its overall better than every other tool coz it combines alerts automation analytics and ecosystem support.
Chose PagerDuty
Pager duty is better than OpsGenie because it offers stronger automation, smarter incident workflows, deeper integrations and better reporting. Teams respond faster, follow consistent processes, and handle complex incidents more efficiently, making it more suitable for growing …
Chose PagerDuty
I haven't used it hardcore, but it was ok may be I haven't got the full gist of it, but I really think PagerDuty is really superior to it.
Chose PagerDuty
Reporting and analytics are not well comparing to PagerDuty
Chose PagerDuty
There were more features and more ways to contact the provider. Ring Central would send out a call. I don't remember sending an email or text when I was paged. It seemed it was only an app on my phone and not located on my computer, where I could access it when I was working on …
Chose PagerDuty
Based on price and need, PagerDuty was the best option
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty has its advantages and costs associated. We use alternative to mitigate risk of failure, priority and effectiveness.
Chose PagerDuty
Better at the immediate response workflow
Chose PagerDuty
most of the team members were familiar with pagerduty and since its battletested and widely adopted and pricing was also competitive hence we have chosen pagerduty
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty provides better cost to value, and also includes AI based recommendations. Overall automatons possibilities are also great with this and since we have multiple integrations as well as we cannot easily to existing systems.
For us the responsive and helpful sales team …
Chose PagerDuty
We have not used another product in this space.
Chose PagerDuty
When we selected PagerDuty, we evaluated a few other solutions including Moogsoft, BigPanda, VictorOps and Splunk Enterprise. We decided on PagerDuty specifically for the automated on-call escalation capabilities. At the time when we subscribed to PagerDuty, event management …
Chose PagerDuty
Pagerduty is user adaptive and an indsutry leader in the incident managment/alerting management.
Chose PagerDuty
We have used Five9 for other features but haven't seriously considered using them for replacing PagerDuty. Our company already had PagerDuty when I joined and we haven't evaluated any other option.
Chose PagerDuty
PD is a set-it-and-forget-it solution. The application is reliable, has many features, and will drag a tech out of the deepest sleep so to put out a fire. OpsGenie is clunky at best. It can work, but the paging is unreliable, the schedule is a nightmare, and the integrations …
Chose PagerDuty
I have not use the 2 technologies for as long as I have used PagerDuty but in my opinion PagerDuty makes things a lot easier. The other tools got the job done and got alerts out but PagerDuty just seemed to make the setup for on-call alert schedules and integrations easier …
Chose PagerDuty
pingdom is used alongside PagerDuty but it doesn't have the features to replace it. The two compliment each other very well.
Chose PagerDuty
It is hard to compare these solutions.
PagerDuty is currently being used in SaaS version, whereas Grafana & Loki are mainly implemented next to the packaged app.
The second solution, although time consuming and requiring maintenance is still a viable option. However, PagerDuty …
Chose PagerDuty
I worked at one company that used VictorOps (now Splunk On-Call) and it was quite similar to PagerDuty. VictorOps had a smaller customer base and fewer integrations, so there was less information on the Internet about how to use it effectively, and I don't think its API was as …
Chose PagerDuty
PagerDuty seemed to have a much more flexible setup that allowed the organization to build and manage how we respond to alerts and incidents. The ServiceNow product seemed to be a bit more rigid.

PagerDuty
It's the most effective when you need to alert someone specifically or a team. It sends notifications everywhere, like email, phone, and SMS, ensuring critical issues are never missed. The feature, like the event orchestrator, allows us to set logic-based rules that automatically suppress non-emergency alerts.

Pros
PagerDuty
  • Alerting notifications is its best attribute; it will continue to make contact until the alert is acknowledged by a user.
  • The calendar view provides valuable information regarding who is on call by the team and their full contact information.
  • The application also lets you initiate a tech bridge meeting instantly and notifies all on-call users.

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.
  • Add a timer and alarms for tasks that need completed.

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.

I have not use the 2 technologies for as long as I have used PagerDuty but in my opinion PagerDuty makes things a lot easier. The other tools got the job done and got alerts out but PagerDuty just seemed to make the setup for on-call alert schedules and integrations easier than the others. This isn't to say the others are difficult, just that PagerDuty was slightly better. I also have noticed that more tools have options to integrate to PagerDuty over the other tools.
