We performed a comparison between PagerDuty Operations Cloud and Splunk On-Call based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Alerting and Incident Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."A cool feature is that it helps us to understand the flow of the alert. If the alert was coming to the current on-call and he didn't catch the call or didn't notice it for any reason, it starts being escalated automatically, according to the escalation schedule, or to other teammates. You can see the flow very easily on your phone or via the website, if you want to do a post-mortem."
"The initial setup is a simple process."
"It has scaled well for us."
"Alert deduplication and noise reduction for alerts are the major features that I found useful."
"PagerDuty's notification process is the most valuable feature."
"It reduces the amount of white noise. If something comes through, then it will alert somebody. However, if it's a bit of white noise that comes through at night, then it gets dealt with the next day. Everything is visible to everybody. It's not just a single person getting an SMS, then going, "Oh, I'm not going to worry about that." The visibility to everybody on the team is one of the great things about it because it reduces the white noise."
"The most valuable features of PagerDuty are customization, access, policies, and different rules regarding the path of escalation. Additionally, it's easy to use and create overrides. For example, if you all are on a call for one week each, but somebody wants to go on PTO, the team needs to swap shifts in PagerDuty. This is easy to do by creating overrides to switch up the set schedules. It's very user-friendly in that aspect. It works well for monitoring and alerting."
"The SMS pages and the mobile application are pretty much the top two features."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"It cannot be integrated with our upgraded Jira system."
"They could include incident merging and alert grouping features in the product."
"There is room for improvement with the time schedule. The way the schedule currently works is you assign all the team members in one schedule and it automatically spreads them around throughout the schedule... It would be better to be able to edit the schedule and place my team members where I want, or at least to have that option in addition to the automatic process."
"PagerDuty can improve the integration with Terraform."
"PagerDuty should be integrated with other tools, so it can import the IT roster automatically. Our other rules continue to work once they're configured, but the roster must be added manually."
"The product can be improved by including out-of-the-box integration with other standard tools used in our fields such as Confluence, and Jira."
"This solution works best in conjunction with a proper logging system, which can be an additional cost to organizations."
"PagerDuty could improve the event orchestration by enhancing features, such as easier condition setup inside the orchestration."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
