***EDIT***
Customizeable routing, both at the global top level and at the individual service level. Custom alerting behavior per service and given logic.
Intuitive OnCall scheduling and escalation policy.

PagerDuty is well spread and used by many - though I find less than 0 reasons why..
Other than the fact it is working somewhat as expected (and that also isn't easy to achieve) there's not a single good thing I can say about this product, or the team developing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
***EDIT***
Original below.
When a good word is due then one must be given. Kudos to the PagerDuty team for making a great turnaround comback with their product.
It now works as a whole ecosystem wiht integrations and fully customizeable logic in terms of routing and alerting conditions. All the below mentioned was fixed to the point where not only is the product usable and somewhat intuitive, but also provides unmatched capabilities at a very low implementational cost (simple to integrate with).
it now comes with a fully functional Terraform provider as well!
Good job PagerDuty engineering for making the biggest turnaround I've seen, And thank you for taking this matter seriously. It did not go unnoticed.

EVERYTHING. I'll explain:
1. The product is bad(!), and their code is not up-to-standard with current methodologies (SSO is only partially supported, alert ingestion and processing is lacking, etc'). It also looks like a "dot com" era product written in basic HTML1 and PHP - but that's a matter of personal opinion and preferance..
2. Everything is confusing - integrations can be set on the global level and would not appear on the service level, and vise-versa, there are multiple locations for setting alert handling rules and above all - the docs are outdated and contradicting
3. Bad organizational behavior - for example, they do not have an SLA for support tickets. My tickets usually go about a week unattended. Also, they removed Support Chat for non-premium customers without giving notice. As far as I understand - my tickets opened via chat are GONE. No notification, no nothing. Also, our account managers are away constantly and rarely answer messages.
4. Product has A LOT of design bugs - one example is that even when using SSO - deleted users are not EPHERMAL!!!! meaning, that when you remove a user, the user object remains!!! (a perfect example of such a case is when setting a user as onCall, and then removing it, the deleted user remains as oncall - WTF?!?)
5. And worst of all, they have a terrible attitude!! - I got the sense that they truly believe in their right of way. No regard for customers, no regard for the operations dependent on their product, and zero f***s given about the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've implemented PagerDuty because we needed a way to centralise our alerting workflows in order to improve our incident response. PagerDuty made sense because it was broadly compatible with most of our observability tools (Azure monitor, AWS Cloudwatch and New Relic). It also features a very simple and intuitive interface that makes its set up rather quick and simple. What I like best about PagerDuty is its integration with Microsoft teams which works very well. It also comes with a Ms Teams bot that allows you to summon PagerDuty through direct commands, which makes things quicker since you don't have to log into the UI to perform common actions such as acknowledging or closing triggered alerts.

I think the mobile application for IOS is not as good as the web interface, not because its lacking some of the core features but rather because of the way the information is displayed. I believe the layout makes it very cumbersome when you're on-call and have various active schedule assigned at the same time. I would like a cleaner interface on the app with maybe more pictogram to make it more uer friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


1. PagerDuty is most suited for highly critical business application or server to monitor the application and server alerts.
2. Alerts are automated, meaning it can send alerts to multiple channels.
3. The company that I worked for used PagerDuty extensively, which helped in on-call scheduling and incident Management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since PagerDuty is well established in the market, it's cost is comparitively higher compare to other Incident Management providers.
I personally did not like the bombarding of alerts for the issue, howerver this can be silenced now with snoozing the alert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pagerduty is SaaS based alerting systems allowing companies to use for their in house technology for incident response. It provides the real-time monitoring for all the infrastructure and services by generating calls and emails as needed. It also provides a lot of integrations with other products for example Jira, Nagios and Slack. PagerDuty has a level of escalation setup that allows incidents to follow a process chain which benefits a lot in escalation matrix. PagerDuty features like SSO, Role based Access are really a good add-ons which ease our usage and aslo initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pagerduty is expensive as compared to its competitors in the market and Its integration lacks some features like easy set up. It has a way to improve its configurations so that a user with zero technical knowledge can understand it. Auto-recovery of alert feature sometime fails and it needs some improvements.

I did work in integrating alert system to pagerduty, hence these are the few positive pointers, I noted.
a. PagerDuty has a real time alerting system.
b. Intimation over phone as message and phone call.
c. Simple interface, yet robust feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did not see any major negatives with PagerDuty, however the cost compare to other compitetors is at the higher number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PagerDuty's standout feature is its incident management. When something goes wrong, like a system glitch or a server hiccup, PagerDuty steps in to alert the right people fast. It's like a superhero for your team's response efforts.
What makes it great is how it handles incidents from start to finish. It doesn't just shout about the problem; it organizes the response. It knows who needs to know and when, making sure the right folks are on it ASAP. This quick reaction time means less downtime for your systems.
Plus, PagerDuty isn't just about fixing things—it's about doing it better next time. It keeps track of what went down and helps you figure out how to stop it from happening again. That's a big win for keeping your systems running smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For new users, especially those who are not tech-savvy, the interface is kind of confusing. My Team Leader had to walk me through how to set it up and use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
