Pros
"The placeholder dropdowns for message templates are useful.​""It allows for a systematic and uniform method of alerting personnel in every location.​"

More OnSolve Platform for Critical Event Management Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically create a ticket for the support team when there is an alert.""OpsGenie has many features, such as email notification, SMS notification, roster, tracking of the tickets. Automation, like scripting, is also possible. There are also features for maintaining the history of the tickets and all the solutions related to how it was resolved previously. If there are similar kinds of tickets, we can look at how a person is working on that ticket. If he doesn't have any idea, you can look back at a similar ticket and solve it as the previous person did it.""This is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.""We can rely on the product to organize our schedules. We don't have to think about who will be next on-call. The system already gives us the answer. We don't have to waste time organizing how people are going to be covering each of their rotations. There's also an override option. So, it's easy to reschedule or reorganize our schedules when someone goes on vacation or when someone is on sick leave.""The integration feature is the most valuable. It provides a lot of customizations for the integrations we use.""Opsgenie has streamlined our communications and alerting.""Opsgenie has been most valuable in managing our incident response. We use Opsgenie for on-call management of AWS services, and its integration with CloudWatch has been particularly beneficial. Opsgenie alerts us to anomalies in cloud services, not just incidents but also performance issues like delayed response times or execution errors. So, we will quickly know about the issue, and it allows us to take swift action. It has been very helpful to us.""Opsgenie integrates with Atlassian and other web monitoring and incident management tools."

Cons
"The user interface is too complicated and aspects that should be offered, such as email subject line editing, are not.""Conference calling requires a complicated syntax formula.​"

More OnSolve Platform for Critical Event Management Cons →

"The user interface could be improved.""We are using the cloud version of Atlassian products now, but I think the Data Center version we used earlier was much more user-friendly. There are lots of limitations in the cloud version The add-on or features that work with the Data Center versions are not compatible with the cloud version.""OpsGenie needs to keep up with its competitors in terms of new features and pricing.""Initially, Opsgenie had bidirectional integration with Jira Service Management, but that functionality has been scaled back. Previously, Opsgenie was adept at managing incidents within its ecosystem, offering seamless ticket transfers between Opsgenie and Jira Service Desk. I valued the ability to push tickets between the two platforms, addressing the need for widespread information accessibility, though it sometimes led to duplication. My suggestion would be to reintroduce complete ticket funneling between these systems to streamline operations.""I would like to see reports that can provide us with integration with Jira or with another management solution, which I'm not sure Opsgenie provides. The integration is possible, however as Opsgenie reports is an area that needs to be addressed. An alert is received, and Opsgenie will immediately generate a ticket or card for that issue, track it, and provide a follow-up. Opsgenie will also track an issue's whole life cycle. This is something that I would like to see in Opsgenie.""The installation of other applications is difficult in Opsgenie. I would like to see more flexible reporting methodologies. Scalability and pricing also need to be improved.""They could introduce many more features.""The solution has room for improvement by providing bundle pricing with other products that are frequently used together from Atlassian."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "From the pricing perspective, they are on the higher side as compared to other competitors."
  • "We have opted for a yearly subscription. The initial quote given was about $29, but I don't know the actual price. There might be some negotiations during renewal."
  • "I'm not the person who dealt with Opsgenie in terms of pricing, and I don't know how the solution compares to other solutions in the market, price-wise. I won't be able to say if it gives you the best value for money or not, but if Opsgenie gives good value for money, then I don't see a reason why you shouldn't use it."
  • "I rate Opsgenie eight out of 10 for affordability. Opsgenie is on the cheaper side, and it fits our budget. I estimate the license costs around $400 to 500 annually for 15 users. The price is available on the internet. It's a standard, straightforward price."
  • "In the company I'm working for, currently, we are using the standard edition of Opsgenie. We're paying around $3,000 a month. It's a bit expensive compared to the other tools we use for different purposes. We find it a bit expensive because although Opsgenie is a complete tool for monitoring, it does not provide us with everything."
  • "Integration with other solutions is one of the most valuable features of Opsgenie."
  • "The cost of the solution depends on the package you select and is per user."
  • "The solution's prices are exorbitant."

    Overview

    The OnSolve Platform for Critical Event Management is a comprehensive solution designed to help organizations effectively manage critical events. Its primary use case is to provide real-time situational awareness, enabling organizations to proactively respond to and mitigate potential threats.

    The platform offers a range of valuable functionality, including event monitoring, alerting, and incident management. It aggregates data from various sources, such as social media, weather updates, and internal systems, to provide a holistic view of the current situation. This allows organizations to quickly assess the impact of an event and take appropriate actions.

    The platform also enables automated alerting and notification, ensuring timely dissemination of critical information to relevant stakeholders. It supports multi-channel communication, including SMS, voice calls, emails, and mobile app notifications, to reach individuals across different devices and locations. This helps organizations rapidly communicate with employees, customers, and other key stakeholders during emergencies.

    Furthermore, the platform facilitates incident management by providing tools for task assignment, collaboration, and tracking. It allows organizations to create response plans, allocate resources, and monitor progress in real-time. This streamlines the incident response process, leading to faster resolution and reduced impact on operations.

    Users are empowered to manage their contact details and notification preferences in a single location, hence the administrators don't have to maintain this information at each application. OpsGenie is a cloud based service with reliable, distributed architecture that is replicated in multiple data centers, and monitored around the clock. The lifecycle for each alert, notifications, actions taken by users, are recorded and reported to enable admins to easily analyze what happened. No more wasting time, digging up log files. No more finger pointing.

    Most enterprises employ multitude of tools for IT management: for monitoring, ticketing, configuration and change management, etc. Although each of these tools may be individually capable of sending notifications via email or SMS, it is a burden for administrators to maintain the same information in each of these multiple, disparate systems. 

    OpsGenie enables organizations to consolidate notification management into a single management system. OpsGenie enables users to maintain their own contact details and preferences in one place, eliminating duplication of data, reducing administrative overhead.
