Our take

PagerDuty helps businesses monitor their tech stacks, manage incidents and alert engineers when things go wrong. Serving more than 10,500 enterprises including customers like GE, Capital One, IBM and Spotify, the company has become a key player in the space.

While it’s best known for its alerting capabilities, PagerDuty has expanded well beyond that over the years, though it’s still a core part of its service. For example, the company released AIOps services that aim to help businesses reduce the amount of noisy and unnecessary alerts. All-in-all, PagerDuty has become an essential product for DevOps teams, which has greatly contributed to its success.

In 2022, the company was recognized in the Regional and Global AWS Partner Awards as playing a key role in driving innovation and building solutions for the space. Off the back of post-IPO funding, it has continued to release new features and update its core products, towards proving cutting-edge services into the future.
