PagerDuty is a key monitoring and alerting component that we use org wide for Engineering Teams. The specific business problems that we address by using PagerDuty are
1. Org Wide alerting for critical components like error handling, out-of-memory detections etc
2. Infra based alerts to identify areas where load is a lot, for example if there are excessive arguments on an sidekiq queue
3. Low priority alerting of components as well

We leverage PagerDuty for immediate support at events. This is leveraged to ensure we provide the needed service and timing is critical to ensure our technical setup and any event delivery is conducted with everything required for our customers. We have a highly technical setup including a local network that is deployed which adds to the need for the immediate response.

I use PagerDuty to monitor our product and alert us when a threshold exceeds. PagerDuty is highly helpful in alerting on time so that I can take action without any delay. Also, it helps in scheduling shifts for team members seamlessly. PagerDuty dashboards are useful to check various metrics.

We majorly use PD for incident management and bug resolutions. PD has great integration with Slack that is very helpful for quick updates on the tickets directly from Slack. The monitoring and consolidation of issues is very convenient and is able to provide us with good visibility into related issues as well.

I am part of the engineering team which owns the 24/7 on-call suport for all our services in the production and we use the pagerduty to effectively manage our on-call support and define the escalation policies.
Using pagerduty its easy to notify on-call person via message and call and we liked the feature where we can define after how much duration notification should be delivered to what medium and to whom. Also its easy to override the on-call schedule for a specified duration and manage the overall team on-call schedule.
Also pagerduty integrates very well with the other software we use like mail, Slack and their Android app works seamlessly for me.

We started looking for a monitoring / alerting tool as the tool we were using was getting too expensive and licenses agreement was expiring. PagerDuty was rolled out for some teams primarily to create and alert the operations teams for application and infrastructure related issues. Using PagerDuty not only did we implement the existing monitoring as is, but a lot of tasks were automated. PagerDuty also helped us removed the dependency of monitoring team as the monitoring and callback feature was available in PagerDuty as IVR. This decision not only saved us some money, but we also reduced the Incident response time by 50%. Soon we updated to the premium license which included additional AI features and now we are utilizing even more features and integrations supported by PagerDuty.

We use PagerDuty as the single source for alerting our support teams when production issues arise. We love the fact that we can be notified via text, in-app notifications, phone calls (or even all three if you like). It integrates seamlessly with our cloud-based monitoring vendors like pingdom, Cronitor, and AlertBot.

I manage a team that supports critical applications for a university. Before implementing PagerDuty, we encountered issues overnight and were not aware that there was a service failure until the morning, and/or if students informed us. We paired New Relic with PagerDuty, so that when specific metrics exceed the set thresholds, integration notifies PagerDuty and sends an alert to the relevant on-call support member.

Since implementing, PagerDuty has provided immediate alerting when a problem exists, and has allowed us to restore service (or prevent service loss in some cases) to minimise disruption.

The PagerDuty platform is used across the organization for on-call management, event/alert management and automated escalations. The platform solved a significant inefficiency within the business related to on-call and escalations. Prior to PagerDuty, escalations were manual and not well documented. This made it difficult to hold people accountable and properly document problems. Through PagerDuty's escalation policies, on-call schedules and general workflow automation capabilities, the problem was solved fairly quick. Because our on-call team members are paid each time they answer an on-call request, this made tracking the notifications much easier.

Business cases:
  • Incident Management
  • Alerting management
  • Page on-call users.
  • Integrations with 3rd party applications like Slack, AWS, Emails, and Jira.
  • Configure workflows in 3rd parties for e.g. on-call person schedule for a team in Slack.

We primarily use PagerDuty for on-call alerting. We have a number of monitoring platforms that are integrated with PagerDuty or send emails to escalation policies for various teams across the org. We are able to maintain a schedule of individuals in each team and we are able to escalate alerting should current on-call fail to pick up the page.

PagerDuty for us is a critical tool, rather it's for after-hours paging or raising awareness of a critical issue during the day. Part of being an IT is managing multiple systems, which can be on-prem or in the cloud, and when these systems have issues or are down, we need to get timely alerts from our RMM tools. PagerDuty makes this possible; using their application, we can set on-call rotations, backups, holidays, and substitutes and make sure that we have a hand on the wheel when things get bumpy. PD can tie directly into applications as a 3rd party plugin, which as the #1 solution, is widely supported, or there is the option for SMTP triggers. Businesses need PD, so IT can get those critical alerts to keep the business on track. I have tried comparable solutions and always find myself coming back to PD.

PagerDuty handles our on-call alerting. This means when we have production level outages or issues, they get sent to PagerDuty and PagerDuty has a schedule for our on-call engineers and can send texts, emails, Slack notifications, and phone calls to the correct person to handle. Within PagerDuty we setup schedules so we know who is primary and who is secondary on-call so that way we always have coverage.

We use PagerDuty to get real-time alerts for disruptions and outages. I have been using it for a year, and haven't had any issues whatsoever so far with it. Aside from the alerts, it has allowed us to significantly cut time on repetitive tasks when we have to declare a major incident that needs to be tackled by multiple people. We have integrated it with IM and video call: when the person on call gets an alert and deems it necessary to involve multiple people, they just click on a button, and the necessary people get notified via an IM message that contains the PagerDuty alert URL, and a video call link where they can join the rest of the team. This way, we just start doing the work that matters, which is tackling the issue at hand. Very happy with the product and the support service.

We utilize PagerDuty for incident response -- so if something critical happens where we literally need to wake people up, this is how we do it. We have it integrated with our other systems so that there is a clear workflow and notification associated with any triggering event. Specifically, if an incident of a certain severity occurs, PagerDuty sets off an alert across multiple systems in support and engineering, pinging them on their phones, and mobilizing a response team

We used PagerDuty to manage our Out Of Hours support when there were site issues. It was useful to escalate calls and have a clear log of Who answered which issue, what time, and when issues had been resolved. It was also useful to handle and schedule the support rotas. Integration was fairly straight forward too.

We used PagerDuty primarily to manage on-call rotations across multiple engineering and support teams and to route automated alerts to the correct people in correct engineering teams. We also used it occasionally to route urgent (24/7) customer support requests to the correct people in product support departments. Additionally PagerDuty escalated incidents when they were not acknowledged or resolved promptly, and we used it as a tool to analyze data about the causes of frequent issues.

Pagerduty is used both for alerting teams to application problems that are identified by our monitoring and observability platforms as well as engaging on-call resources into an active incident bridge for real-time troubleshooting and remediation.

PagerDuty was used on our on-call rotation for Technical Support Engineers. If a request came in from a customer outside of business hours, it would trigger PagerDuty to page the on-call engineer. We typically had engineers on-call overnight or on the weekends, so PagerDuty allowed them to be away from their station but still be alerted if an issue came up.

We use PagerDuty for engineering incident management. It alerts us about issues in our production pipeline, and offers escalation policies and alerts so we can address the SEVs in time. By paging the on-call engineer to look into blockers in a timely manner, it allows us to improve our service metrics.

For alerting purposes, we have integrated PagerDuty with messaging application and for all network alerts, we directly get the notification in our application, so we don't need to have a separate application for the same. We also have enabled emails for notification which help the teams to work on the issue as soon as possible
