It works really well when there is an incident involving multiple stakeholders and where escalations may be required. It helps keep a track of the incident and can feed into other systems, as well as be fed metadata from other systems such as Splunk Enterprise
We use VictorOps as alternative to something like PagerDuty, basically to alert the "engineer on-call" of any issues that may occur throughout our platform. We run a weekly engineering on-call rotation and have alerts set up to detect problems or potential issues and have someone to address them as soon as possible.
Pros
Good text and call alerting.
Allows setting up on-call schedules for months at a time.
Cons
The UI is a little clunky.
It's a little tricky to override or shift schedules (i.e., for a particular day in a one-week rotation).

VictorOps is an excellent option for platform alerting and is very cost-effective. For teams of any size, it can be the correct tool. VictorOps success is mainly dependent on the amount of logging and monitoring setup within your platform. If you have little or poor logging, then they may not be anything for VictorOps to act upon.
I have used VictorOps for many years as my alerting system to let me know when systems are having any issues. It is being used for all external services and servers. It allows us to instantly know the status of our systems and let's us know when we need to address issues.
Pros
Easy Setup
Great plug-in for many monitoring services
Reliable
Cons
None

VictorOps alerting is great for any company that wants to have an outsourced alerting system without having to manage it all internally. It has been, honestly, 100% reliable for me and gives me instant alerting whenever an issue comes up with my systems. It makes online alerting and rotation a breeze.
