    Rootly
    Rootly is great for both remote companies and in-person, but especially well suited for remote. There is such a wide variety of functionalities that Rootly can offer, both internally for your company and externally for your customers. Rootly streamlines and centralizes a lot of data you may be keeping in separate spaces which could be excluding some memebers from being in the loop and adds additional time in your day tracking and organization information. Rootly makes everything real-time for our company through the integrations

    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.

    • while the interface provides great information and everything that you need, there can be a learning curve to understand what you are looking at
    • having all notifications on for slack/teams can cause lots of notifications in a larger organization
    • like any technology, there is room for error with feature issues or integrations issues

    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.

    great usability, bit of a learning curve with the product because there is so much information to digest and Rootly gives you lots of different angles and preferences for how you would like to see it displayed. For those with high tech skills its much easier but for those who are less tech savvy it can be overwhelming

    Alternatives Considered
    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.
