    If you need to gauge whether your site is up or down, then Neustar will give you exactly what you are looking for. However, if you need more granularity for specific application or sub-systems and their functionality, this product will need to be subsidized with other applications that provide more data or information on how individual components or systems are working.

    • It allows access to a history of checks, how much time they took, and if any errors were detected.
    • It can alert several people, or many in a group, for information related to the application availability.
    • When drilling down into the check, the logs can pinpoint the exact time and code events and how long each step took to respond.

    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.

    • The interface can be buggy.
    • We have experienced false positives of a system outage that was not accurate.
    • It's not a true measure of system performance or uptime, but simply judges up or down from a holistic view.

    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.

    When I setup notifications to PD thru the Python API I was impressed with the ease with which I could set up the software/service.

    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.

    To be honest, I am not certain why this product was initially chosen over other products. It was being used when I started working at a new job. I was trained on its use and focused on tracking issues when an alert was given. There are many products that can be used for monitoring site uptime. Neustar definitely has its uses for monitoring if a site is up or down, but its lack of granularity can turn some away.

    • Our company at one time gauged overall system uptime using Neustar WebMetrics to provide this data
    • Due to the limitations with the applications ability to show system functionality and uptime we have begun using other methods for determining system uptime for our customers.
    • The interface can be a bit tricky to understand during first use. There is somewhat of a learning curve.
