Yes, It has high reliability and it never caused downtime for us especially during my 5 years of experience with this product. I was not under any situation where nagios picked up an alert and PagerDuty missed to update us via call or message. It helped for our client also for not missing any alert which might have caused critical alert.

Our company provides medication for opiate use disorder. It benefits patients because they can get the help they need when their primary care provider is out of the office or after hours. Some pharmacies don't carry this medication. If a prescription is sent to one of those pharmacies, the patient can reach out, and we can send it to a pharmacy with it. If a patient goes without this medication, they can return to use and are at risk for an OD.

The team supports the systems that work 24*7 and needs near immediate resolution for things hosted on cloud infrastructure, which can have some small outages, which with the help of Pager Duty, we were able to either engineer around with a code fix or have the on call engineer jump in and fix these issues.

The last thing any team wants is the monitoring fails and team only notices the issues after multiple customer complaints. Fortunately, I have never seen PagerDuty down and alerts are not triggered or we are not able to use the tool to further process information to Level 3 teams.
We are extensively using PagerDuty to keeps our system up and running with minimum disruption to services which helped us to onboard new customers for our products.

It is hard to describe this because we have no concept of what it would even look like if PD was down. All I can say is that when we have a prod outage, we have no doubt that PD will alert us.

I think we have benefited from this because downtime would have cuased us to miss some important sales leads and act on them timely. Other compeittors could have won them over during that time.

If PagerDuty was unavailable when we had an overlapping service downtime would be quite unfortunate. Luckily, we are not aware of any PagerDuty downtime, and if it has occurred, it has not impacted us.

Generally speaking the PagerDuty platform is reliable. Outages do happen on occasion. These outages are significantly felt by our organization even if it is for a few minutes. Because we leverage PagerDuty as our "eyes on glass" platform, we often see problems well before PagerDuty support identifies the problem. I can only recall one situation where the platform was completely down. Typically it is one or two minor components in a degraded state.

Pagerduty availability is really amazing and I have never seen pagerduty being down ever. I don't remember how because I haven't seen PD ever down. Anytime we had the need to pagerduty it was always available.

I have always taken for granted that PagerDuty is just always available 100% of the time. Depending on when they had an outage, that could be a serious concern if we had a major event at the time because we are quite dependent upon PagerDuty for alerting us of any issues in our environment. This actually is a pro and a con, because they have been so reliable and a con because there is this potentially false sense of security if there is ever an issue that affects our ability to respond to our issues.

We currently run several scheduled reports that notify our clients if their end customers have sent pictures of incidents relating to claims.
If these reports are not executed with a certain period of time, this would cause delays in processing of the clients claims and in some instances forcing end customers to restart the claim process form scratch.

PagerDuty has always been up and sent alerts as they happen in real time. We have yet to have any issues with this and is one reason why PagerDuty is so effectively used by our organization. Downtime by cloud providers or by issues within our stack architecture is enough and PagerDuty allows us to stay within our SLA's.

PagerDuty is a SaaS 100%. I have been using it for a year and haven't had any downtime or issues with it so far. This has a direct positive impact on our revenue, mean time to respond, and brand reputation. The reliability of PagerDuty made it for us a single place where we can view the overall health of our systems.

PagerDuty is always online so we never miss critical alerts, which is very important to us during peak traffic times (leading retail website).

Yes, we've been happy with PagerDuty's uptime and reliability. PagerDuty is distributed across multiple data centers and not tied to a single vendor, so notifications and alerts have been delivered on-time even during a major outage from a large cloud provider. I was an early user of PagerDuty back in 2012 when they struggled with some of this, but in the last 10 years they have become very strong at avoiding single points of failure.

Great flexibility and availability to achieve your alerting goals

Reliability is critical to my organization. Ensuring that PagerDuty is available when we're in a crisis means that we can get a hold of the right people to help manage our crises. If PagerDuty were to experience an outage at the same time as my organization, this would be a significant problem.
