    DERDACK Enterprise Alert is extremely well suited, when different teams (subject matter experts) are involved in the technical support process. Quick and easy responses (acknowledgements, exection of scripts/tasks/processes, etc.) are key. Also, DERDACK Enterprise Alert is on one hand easy to deploy, but API offers a variety of customized integrations.

    I think PagerDuty works great for medical practices. I have used other platforms through other companies, and PagerDuty is by far the best platform. It is because of the different features it has to communicate to other staff members how the call is being handled. It is easy to learn how to use.

    PagerDuty
    • Alerting notifications is its best attribute; it will continue to make contact until the alert is acknowledged by a user.
    • The calendar view provides valuable information regarding who is on call by the team and their full contact information.
    • The application also lets you initiate a tech bridge meeting instantly and notifies all on-call users.

    Cons

    • More integrations with other ITSM vendors

    PagerDuty
    • When getting a phone call, PagerDuty doesn't seem to allow acknowledgments of alerts through the phone, which it says it does. I constantly receive a message that it was updated by another person - when in reality, it wasn't.
    • Smarter notifications. If an alert was snoozed for a time, when it comes back, it sends out another alert. It should, I think, send a message asking if the alert is still an issue and give the option to close.
    • Make schedule changes more intuitive.
    • One button to acknowledge and close an alert.

    They have been rock solid for us thus far and are not very expensive and to be honest no time to evaluate other software at this point.

    PagerDuty
    The UI is more complex than I would like. Part of the challenge is that most users use PagerDuty infrequently; I don't remember how I changed a policy last time. Another part of the challenge is that some users expect alerting to be a trivial feature, and are reluctant to invest any time in reading the documentation.

It gives an effective way to notify the team about critical incidents which results in a faster turnaround time on issues. users can customize their alerts rules based on their preferences. Overall it's effective and easy to use which adds great business value.

    When I setup notifications to PD thru the Python API I was impressed with the ease with which I could set up the software/service.

    I have not use the 2 technologies for as long as I have used PagerDuty but in my opinion PagerDuty makes things a lot easier. The other tools got the job done and got alerts out but PagerDuty just seemed to make the setup for on-call alert schedules and integrations easier than the others. This isn't to say the others are difficult, just that PagerDuty was slightly better. I also have noticed that more tools have options to integrate to PagerDuty over the other tools.
