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."The alerts are immediate in this solution, which allows us to respond to errors quickly."
"Notification is the most valuable feature."
"PagerDuty let us set up rosters based on our shifts. We could assign a hierarchy for how the calls should be escalated and the number of times the call will be transferred between people before it is answered. It makes it easy to access an agent via mobile phone."
"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 feature is the phone app that allows us to send notifications without the additional fees when sending by SMS or phone calls."
"The SMS pages and the mobile application are pretty much the top two features."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"PagerDuty's notification process is the most valuable feature."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"Something that needs to be improved, is adding multilingual support."
"PagerDuty can improve the integration with Terraform."
"I am not a direct end user of PagerDuty. It's hard to consider its shortcomings in that sense."
"The biggest area for improvement with PagerDuty is noise suppression. There have been a handful of incidents through our use of PagerDuty over the years where one incident may lead to 30 to 50 pages because you're monitoring all these different things, and each thing is an individual page. There should be the ability to set up paging tiers and group correlations between some of the different pages. That is something that would be really valuable. We should be able to say this one page may have a group or a tree of effective other pages that may tier off of it. So, if you see those pages independently, go ahead and alarm, but if you see this plus that, don't do that."
"The solution does not code all alerts correctly so sometimes you get false positives or multiple alerts for the same issue."
"It cannot be integrated with our upgraded Jira system."
"The On-Call Teams feature could be better in terms of levels of conditions related to which team or member should get the responsibility of handling a matter or incident."
"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 solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
