The quickest and easiest way to set your team up on alerting.
What do you like best about the product?
PagerDuty's web interface is designed for ease of use, and quick onboarding. It's well known and reliable, the console is intuitive, and in my opinion is the king of incident response systems. Once I was given access to the console, it took less than 20 minutes for me to configure all the alerts I wanted for all my devices, learn how to navigate the system and administrate the system if necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
The robotic voice that calls could be less cold and dry sounding. The interface could be more visually appealing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It just does what it says, period. Put in the legwork in integrating your monitoring systems and alerting on PagerDuty and you will be notified based on your events, anytime, anywhere.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at all the features during your trial period. Sometimes when you feel like you won't be using a specific attribute of PagerDuty, you end up doing so and in so doing you increase the ROI on your subscription.

What do you dislike about the product?
1)on call schedule is a little difficult to read from a cell phone
2) Would like to see the "before I go on call" feature exposed on a team or escalation policy level. So, rather than specifying or reminding a specific user, why not expose this, and set a reminder for the entire on call team.
3)would like to see a "follow the sun" schedule example, as this is a common request for companies with team in other geos.
4)PagerDuty gives a user the ability to be added without specifying a phone number? (: It shouldn't.
Meaning, someone can be on call, and no phone number is listed.
5)would like to ability re-organize layers.
- if a layer is removed, it does not give user the option to add the back without the information

An absolute necessity for any SaS busnines

Probably replying in text message to ack might be a bit more convenient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pager Duty a great inncident manager
What do you like best about the product?
it allows our team to coordinate efforts in a serious S.H.T.F. incident. It is very responsive and easy to use. set up and modification
What do you dislike about the product?
We receive duplicate notices on Email, phone and SMS... The world feels like it's blowing up when there is an incident. It would be helpful if the escalation process was more granular. It also could be a little easier to disable or "park" an incident to prevent over notification during down events you are already acting on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us get things fixed faster without stepping on each others toes or wondering if somebody is already putting out a fire. We can also get more people notified quicker to reduce response times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If it works for me, It will most likely work for you.
It solves our oncall issues easily and pretty reliable with the alerting mechanisims
What do you like best about the product?
24*7 coverage and sending voice message when the calls are unanswered is very valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have seen the number from where Pagerduty makes a call change time to time. This is inconvenient since I save the number and don't want to pick random calls. Please see if this can be corrected, so that I don't change the number for the contact.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Oncall alerting makes us the address issues quickly and resolve it. Changing oncall schedules and reassigning pagerduty when you are unavailable due to some unforeseen circumstances.

PagerDuty makes on-call scheduling and response simple
What do you like best about the product?
I love that my team has a primary and secondary on-call schedule. I love that overrides are super easy. I love that schedule changes are easy to make. I love that escalation policies just work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like getting pages... but I guess that's the whole point of PagerDuty. To be fair, I don't think anybody likes getting pages. PagerDuty really does make on-call simple though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PagerDuty has made on-call much easier. No more trying to remember who is on-call. No more carrying an escalation list. No more crossing my fingers and hoping some other team will respond. It all is right there and easy to do.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please get it. You won't regret it.
