PagerDuty overview

What is PagerDuty?

PagerDuty is a cloud software that connects people, systems and data into a single view - creating visibility and actionable intelligence across their operations. PagerDuty's SaaS alerting and incident tracking system helps IT operations and DevOps engineers resolve critical errors in their IT systems as quickly as possible.

PagerDuty integrates with all IT infrastructure monitoring tools such as Splunk, New Relic, Nagios, Zenoss and others, and handles the people part of the equation: alerting (via phone, SMS, email), on-call scheduling for teams, and automatic escalation of critical issues. Trusted by Fortune 500 companies and startups alike, PagerDuty customers include Microsoft, National Instruments, Electronic Arts, Adobe, Rackspace, Etsy, Square and Github.

Key benefits of using PagerDuty

Alerting that works (and wakes you up)
When your systems go down, PagerDuty will wake you up. You choose how you want to be alerted - via phone, SMS or email, to multiple numbers, with retries.

Integrate all your existing monitoring tools
PagerDuty works great with almost all monitoring tools including: Nagios, Icinga, Keynote, New Relic, Pingdom, Cloudkick, Circonus, Splunk, Zenoss, Monit, Munin, SolarWinds and many others. If it can send email, it works with PagerDuty.

Native apps with push notifications
iOS and Android native apps with push notifications and a cross-platform mobile website ensure you can respond to alerts wherever you are, even on the go.

On-call duty scheduling
Easily set up schedules to fairly share on-call duty responsibilities with your team.

Automatic escalation of alerts
If you're paged but don't respond in time, the alert is auto-escalated to a team member. Ensures nothing slips through the cracks - ever.

Reliable, distributed architecture
PagerDuty's infrastructure is fully replicated in multiple data centers with fast failover when problems occur.

Works internationally (Yes, really!)
Phone alerts can be delivered to over 170 countries and territories; SMS alerts are available virtually worldwide.

There are some other alternatives that seem interesting these days, like FireHydrant’s Signals, that might replace them in the market just due to them keeping up today with the newest incident response patterns.
