How much can it really change though? It’s a fairly simple concept. I always considered the cost is paying for trust and reliability. I know a text message might fail. I want those alert redundancies and I don’t want to have to create that system.
I tried some of the competitors out to reduce cost, but UX was definitely lacking (opsgenie for example). We stuck with PagerDuty.
That being said, as a potential investor, I don’t think it would be hard for these companies to reproduce what PagerDuty does, or anyone. They just happened to be one of the first but companies with large pockets, especially Atlassian/VictorOps can make a lot of headway here.
I was surprised to see they aren’t profitable, but I guess a lot of the spend is marketing/sales and the long cycle to get those enterprise customers. Especially the $100k ARR ones.
- jvagner 8y agoThe last time I looked at PagerDuty (a while ago) it didn't have any kind of "calling tree" equivalent for validated notification escalations. Couldn't really see how that could be true, so I'm assuming I didn't understand the product.
- ody4242 8y agoWe use multiple schedules with Pagerduty, and when an escalation policy is triggered, it can route to multiple additional schedules. So let's say you can escalate to an SME schedule, if a certain incident is not resolved within a certain amount of time. They have a configuration tab for "business services", where you can set up dependencies between services, but we're not using that, so idk how smart is that.
