PagerDuty is an IT alert and incident management application from the company of the same name in San Francisco.
Targeting people (or their SIM cards to be specific) in a specific area and warning them about a hazard in their neighbourhood is the intended use, and it executes that perfectly. In addition we have implemented the traveller alert where we can send messages to all Icelandic SIM cards present inside another Country (another Country code), and send them messages about f.ex. terrorist attack and provide guidelines about where they shoud seek assistance if needed. A slight minus here is that you can only address entire countries, where it might be useful to have next level of area codes.
I've used ICM in the past which has been a very Microsoft product with everything thrown into a blender. So, PD implementation is a breath of fresh air with focused pages to achieve the end goal. If the goal is to collaborate on issues across the organization, PD might not be the best solution but within specific teams, PD excels at it.
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.
As I've been using this app for the last 3 years, I would like to see a few additions, like exposing the "create slack channel" option from the mobile app, rather than just from the PD website from the specific incident
The support team has been very supportive, but there is only so much they can do, and of course sometimes things take a bit too long for my impatience.
PagerDuty is reliable and easy to set up. 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.
There were more features and more ways to contact the provider. Ring Central would send out a call. I don't remember sending an email or text when I was paged. It seemed it was only an app on my phone and not located on my computer, where I could access it when I was working on the computer.
The government has the duty to equip itself with a mechanism to warn its people. It has allocated that duty to us, and we have chosen Everbridge to provide us the tool for that duty. It is very well suited to fulfill that role.
