Overall Satisfaction with PagerDuty

Currently using PagerDuty as per the product intended,
1) Users, teams, on-call schedules
2) Monitors, Alerts
3) Extensions (ServiceNow, Slack, Pingdom, Datadog, etc.)

It addresses infrastructure needs as per the product.
  • On-call schedules, user & team management.
  • Alerting & incidents.
  • Expand new business services features.
  • Enhance the PagerDuty mobile app to allow additional functionality. Ex. Slack integration.
  • Notification and on-call schedules have allowed us to support customers 24x7.
  • Extensions such as ServiceNow have been fully integrated into our current incident process, improving responsiveness.
Each time I have logged support cases, the support team has been very good, professional and very responsive.

  • Adding users
  • creating a schedule
  • creating a service
  • creating an escalation policy
  • Extensions require additional reading, as it requires effort on Pagerduty end and application end (Ex. ServiceNow, Slack, Solarwinds)
Yes - I used the PD mobile app all the time.
As I've been using this app for the last 3 years, I would like to see a few additions, like exposing the "create slack channel" option from the mobile app, rather than just from the PD website from the specific incident.
