The system was tested and integrated with monitoring tools to escalate incidents generated by system events and alarms and on-call triggers. It addressed infrastructure and also business problems. The scope of use covered production environments, approximately 700 servers, various services and applications. Windows and Linux, Database, Routers, Switches and Firewalls.
  • Incident response.
  • Auto-remediation.
  • Communications.
Cons
  • Training.
  • Cost.
  • Workshops.
It can be used in different areas of companies, from technological infrastructure, business, sales, production, NOC. It is very useful in automation, escalation, incident control and service history. It is not useful for troubleshooting cases.

Easy to integrate, well-crafted notification system

It is used as a notification system for engineers and technicians on call, receiving alarms from many other feeds including but not limited to network monitoring systems. We are looking to expand its use beyond our division to other IT components, such as middleware teams, data center techs, upper management teams for COOP and DR.
  • Escalation policies.
  • Configurable on-call preferences.
  • Separation of teams when necessary for compliance
  • Allowing for other teams to be contacted or notified of an issue
Cons
  • Billing/legal agreements.
  • Maintenance renewal.
  • More cost effective licensing for state Educational units
In a situation where you have various teams supporting multiple services and you want a centralized way to allow different team leads to build and maintain their own escalation policies for support notifications while maintaining administrative oversight, PagerDuty is an excellent solution. PagerDuty is not a CRM tool, so it is not well suited to provide a public/customer-facing interface.

Want to keep your Application's / Website's Infra Up all time..? Use PagerDuty to keep your Infra monitored and engage people as required

In our org, only the Operation team (my team) uses PagerDuty, as it is an incident notification and escalation management tool. As an on-call schedule, PagerDuty will send email, SMS, and a call on mobile for on-Call agents depending on their shift timezones for critical/P1 issues, which helps to mitigate the issues within SLAs.
  • Sends email, SMS & call to the on-shift agent w.r.t their working time zones configured
  • If the on-call person, for some reason, can't make the request, he has the option to escalate that incident to the next level engineer
  • Incident history to make incident reports with timestamps
Cons
  • PagerDuty alerts website dashboard has room for improvement, it is extra colorful than needed
  • The alert details on the website are too much detailed, there should be some compact version to view incidents easily
  • The same goes for PagerDuty email alerts, it gives a detailed message which is good, but there should be a compact version too
Honestly, PagerDuty has almost all positives:
1) Prompt Call, Mail, SMS, and PagerDuty App notification (if installed in mobile) for critical incidents to be acknowledged and mitigated
2) Incident history to make incident reports
3) Very well suited options to On-Schedule changes
4) Easy to configure alerts

To be improved:
1) Compact website dashboard for Alerts
2) Compact version for emails

PagerDuty is used across the whole organization to help us solve incident response and triage. We integrated with Slack, which is our main information gathering and triage platform. We are also using analytics and Response Play to help us analyze our incident, alert frequency, and trigger actions. We tried to use the postmortem feature but decided not to opt-in due to usability challenges particularly on the collaboration area.
  • Alerting and response.
  • Easy to integrate with other popular tools.
Cons
  • Costs
  • Would like to use postmortem but not as easy to collaborate as Google Doc.
  • Lack of email support if postmortem is done through PagerDuty. We send out postmortem email summaries to our stakeholders.
PD is a good tool but still lacks some functionalities that I mentioned before (i.e. postmortem usability, emails, etc.).

Great for the use case!

We use it for critical service alerts and to make sure our systems work correctly. It is being used across our whole organization, and it solves the problem of using people to make the on-call process work. We automatically rotate our call lists.
  • Automation
  • Integration
  • On-call automation
Cons
  • UI
  • Initial configuration
  • Specification of priorities
I think it is very well suited for any business that does not have the bandwidth to hire someone on-call all the time for managing the queues and monitoring. I believe there is a great use case with a tightly integrated monitoring solution and the ability to automate alert escalation and on-call.
