Unified incident response has reduced alert noise and improves on-call focus and coordination
PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its noise reduction by making deduplication and suppression more automated instead of manually tuned, and the service dependency graph could be more intuitive with cleaner visuals and easier-to-understand root cause tracing during major incidents. Automation could go further with smarter runbook triggers and AI-driven suggestions to help find root causes, which could save a lot of time for engineers who are struggling to understand what is actually happening. These AI capabilities could lower the time by maybe 50–60%. Analytics and reporting could be more flexible, allowing custom dashboards and filters and team-level MTTA and MTTR breakdowns, so that it is segregated based on teams and it is much easier to have custom dashboards for the teams to understand more. Alert storms were a recurring frustration for the on-call team, and escalation overrides and service dependency graphs can get a bit confusing in larger environments. More customizable analytics and smarter automation would make the platform even easier, more flexible and more powerful for the team to understand. PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve its analytics flexibility with customized dashboards and AI capabilities to be more trained and more reliable. Service dependency mapping can also feel cluttered in big environments, making it harder to trace upstream and downstream impacts during bigger incidents. We implemented PagerDuty Operations Cloud's AI to help with alert grouping and early incident insights, but accuracy was not consistent enough to rely on during critical events. It occasionally grouped unrelated alerts or missed correlations, which limited the operational efficiency gains we expected. The on-call team still depended heavily on manual triage because AI suggestions were not always aligned with the real root cause. Overall, AI added some value but it has not yet reached the reliability needed to significantly improve the incident response efficiency. It needs more training or more work.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They were good, they helped us a lot from the beginning, from installation through the whole process, and not just their support, but also their professional services are top notch."
"This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."
"PAM has the ability to integrate and build solutions that work well in CA's suite of service management products and those that are outside of service management."
"We took our server provisioning process from about 30 days to about 4 days on the first iteration of implementation."
"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."
"For our use it really does very well; it provides us exactly what we need, and it runs with low-resource utilization and moves quickly."
"CA Process Automation manager is a very powerful production tool."
"It’s a great product, extremely versatile but takes a certain skillset to use and implementation of automation can be time consuming when done properly."
"It has scaled well for us."
"While using PagerDuty hasn't resulted in a decrease in issues, it has allowed us, in combination with the monitoring systems, to know about issues before customers are alerting us."
"PagerDuty's notification process is the most valuable feature."
"Afterwards, we didn't want to get rid of it."
"Since using PagerDuty Operations Cloud, I have noticed specific outcomes such as faster incident resolution, recurring issues were monitored properly, and recurring incidents were corrected and have stopped."
"Having a tool like PagerDuty to support us from that standpoint is really key, so that we can perform well when we have issues."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud's alert reduction feature has significantly impacted my organization, preventing approximately ninety to ninety-five percent of critical incidents from occurring."
"PagerDuty Operations Cloud is a great tool that saves time and is worth starting to use."
 

Cons

"The solution engine is in Java. Regardless of developments, the solution will always be limited to what Java offers."
"These configurations can be changed only through the installation wizard. There's no way to update such information in the administration interface, which is, in my opinion, very bad."
"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."
"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
"Although it's drag-and-drop, there's a little bit of a learning curve to use it correctly."
"CA offers minimal public information pertaining to the performance drain the usage of some objects and operators introduce to processing."
"Every so often the service needs to be restarted otherwise it runs slower and slower. I think this may be due to a memory leak."
"I'd like to see additional form functionality and having Python as an available common script language."
"It’s quite hard to reach the support team."
"The user interface of PagerDuty Operations Cloud could be simpler for a new team, especially with customized error notifications such as picking specific colors and icons for different types of front-end layout bugs."
"I think an area of PagerDuty Operations Cloud that could be improved is their premium pricing, as it compares unfavorably with competitors such as Atlassian's Opsgenie and ServiceNow, which offer bundle deals, plus DataDog now has incident management capabilities."
"The main thing is that sometimes we receive some alerts continuously, which may be noisy."
"One area where I believe improvement can be made is reporting and dashboard customization to make it more user-friendly."
"They faced an issue where we could create a report from PagerDuty Operations Cloud. The report generation accordingly faced a limitation; for instance, we encountered issues with reports generated in the morning that only showed data until four a.m."
"One way PagerDuty Operations Cloud could improve is through the scheduling feature, which can be tricky, especially with complex schedules."
"The biggest area for improvement with PagerDuty is noise suppression."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
"The price is very high."
"If you add more people, then you have to pay more, which is always a thing with the SaaS solutions."
"The solution is paid on a monthly basis and represents about 1% of the platform's budget."
"PagerDuty has monthly and yearly licenses available, the costs of which can get quite high if you have a large number of users."
"The cost is quite high. But if you want to get a full-featured application and you have a big team..."
"The cost is based on the package you select."
"If we wanted phone calls or additional SMSs, we would have to pitch up for those. They give us so many per month per user, then we have to pay extra if it goes over that."
"The pricing may be about $1,000 per user."
