    PagerDuty
    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.

    ServiceNow DevOps is suitable for IT companies that are medium to large, It is great when it comes to keeping a track of all the activities, it takes a very little amount of time for creating tickets, with a small amount of information. It is a good tool for incident management, and change management. It will be less suitable for small-scale companies.

    Pros
    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
    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.

    Usability
    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.

    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.

    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.

    As mentioned previously, not sure if ServiceNow DevOps can handle tickets in an agile methodology, where everything is setup based on Sprints, stories and the whole agile terminology. We use OpsGenie to setup shifts for Production support teams, OpsGenie alerts people through a mobile app about production issues as well as to whom is Oncall support for multiple teams. Not sure this functionality is there in ServiceNow DevOps. For now those 3 applications are handling different functions in our company and would be difficult for me to compare them
