Overall Satisfaction with PagerDuty

PagerDuty is used to handle our alerting policies and to handle our availability shifts. It is used for the tech department to alert on-call engineers when they need to look at the platform's health and availability.
It helps us keep the machine running.
  • The on-call rotation is clear
  • Everyone is alerted when going on/off call
  • It allows you to be contacted and respond to different devices and channels (Slack/SMS/phone).
  • The incident view could be more transparent and have space for custom links other than policies.
  • It reduces the time the systems could be offline or with a diminished experience.
  • We use the integration with New Relic and Slack, and they work great.
  • The Slack integration, in particular, is super useful, all the team can see the alerts in a pinned channel.
  • If you get a call during the night, you have just to press four on your dial-pad to acknowledge and a different number to escalate.
  • You get a voice message with the violated policy, which is very useful.
None that I know of.
I never used it, never needed it.
