No Surprises!
What do you like best about the product?
Pagerduty has kept our low, medium to critical part of our network monitored. We are notified on this order so Engineers and administrator can resolved issues depending on critical level. This provides our engineers and administrators have their family time and weekends not on hold when low and medium alerts arises.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see any down side. This is a well thought of service. All bases are covered, if you miss an alert you can setup safety nets, back up phones, emails and then finally the alert can be handoff to the next engineer and so on.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Network issues, websites, backups, helpdesk tickets, failures in the system, you name it Pagerduty can be integrated to it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are on the fence - I hope this move you over the hump. This has made our oncall life easy. our oncall personnel now have a life enjoying their family, watching a movie, play ball and watch their kids events because of Pagerduty. A must have on your team.

Awesome Paging service!
What do you like best about the product?
Multitude of communication paths/options, ability to set timeouts and calling rules
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to find other resources to re-assign a ticket to - looking up other engineers could be made quicker, with some behind-the-scene caching. Also, finding the right team to re-assign to can be a hassle

Responding to incidents in a live service that controls data centers for hundreds of customers, and be able to ensure escalation policies are robust to maintain our high SLA

Lack of unlimited SMS in the UK apart from on A much higher plan

PagerDuty Enables Us
What do you like best about the product?
PagerDuty enables both our support and product teams to take ownership of their own on call process. This empowers our entire company to take responsibility for their product and applications non functional requirements and to care that it is a world class product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being on call is a downside. But in my current position I am almost always an escalation point while not a first responder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spreading the on call responsibility across every area of the business allows everyone to be involved and take a larger interest in how their products and services are built and deployed.
Excellent!
What do you like best about the product?
Pager Duty is the best application for sending and tracking notifications of any kind to our team. It has drastically improved our operations by reliably sending notifications and keeping everyone else up to date on the team. The on-call schedule is one of the features that brought us to PD as well as the native mobile apps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to merge similar incidents are lacking the ability to merge notes and incident details. We'd like to at least see the notes from multiple incidents merge into one when we need to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has greatly improved our quality of life since we are able to maintain a specific on-call schedule and our management team knows that alerts are being delivered to the right people and can track who's responding and who's not.
The quickest and easiest way to set your team up on alerting.
What do you like best about the product?
PagerDuty's web interface is designed for ease of use, and quick onboarding. It's well known and reliable, the console is intuitive, and in my opinion is the king of incident response systems. Once I was given access to the console, it took less than 20 minutes for me to configure all the alerts I wanted for all my devices, learn how to navigate the system and administrate the system if necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
The robotic voice that calls could be less cold and dry sounding. The interface could be more visually appealing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It just does what it says, period. Put in the legwork in integrating your monitoring systems and alerting on PagerDuty and you will be notified based on your events, anytime, anywhere.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at all the features during your trial period. Sometimes when you feel like you won't be using a specific attribute of PagerDuty, you end up doing so and in so doing you increase the ROI on your subscription.
Great tool to manage and escalate issues

Automated escalations save time and money. Teams are pre assigned, simply being able to select a team and escalates to them immediately without any further action.
What do you dislike about the product?
User interface sometimes feels cluttered with a lot of information which may not be required for everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Escalating to on call support teams. Save time looking up phone numbers, dialing etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This will save you time and money on manually making escalations

What do you dislike about the product?
1)on call schedule is a little difficult to read from a cell phone
2) Would like to see the "before I go on call" feature exposed on a team or escalation policy level. So, rather than specifying or reminding a specific user, why not expose this, and set a reminder for the entire on call team.
3)would like to see a "follow the sun" schedule example, as this is a common request for companies with team in other geos.
4)PagerDuty gives a user the ability to be added without specifying a phone number? (: It shouldn't.
Meaning, someone can be on call, and no phone number is listed.
5)would like to ability re-organize layers.
- if a layer is removed, it does not give user the option to add the back without the information
