Pager Team VS IdeaCheck.io

Pager Team has three key considerations that differentiate it from the existing competition. Those are cost, configuration, and consistency.

Cost VictorOps, Pager Duty, and Ops Genie all charge monthly by user. The more people on your rotation, in some cases even as mere observers, the more you pay. Rather than charging by the user, Pager Team charges by the incident, since that's where the costs are. I have two plans: a pay-as-you-go plan that charges $1/mo per rotation plus $1/incident, or a flat rate plan at $200/mo per rotation which provides unlimited incidents.

Configuration The configuration of all three incumbents is complex. You can make them do just about anything! It's wonderful, in the same way JIRA is wonderful. However, because you can do just about anything, configuring them is actually so complicated that it's easy to get wrong.

Consistency Consistency has two really important facets. Most important for the business is the consistency of response time. Regardless of the individual currently on-call, when an incident comes in, you want to see the same prompt response. Every Pager Team user has the same notification path which they can't change, so you know what to expect regardless of who is on-call.

The second part of consistency is for the members of the rotation. Everyone has a life outside of work and they need to be able to plan around their on-call schedule in a consistent, predictable manner.

It's not always easy to identify potential customers and to ask the right questions. IdeaCheck.io turns this into a seamless process. You simply draft your idea, we take care of everything else.

We design the questionnaire, find the right respondents and deliver the results within 24 hours. We ask the potential users of your idea, based on demographics and other criteria. In a matter of hours, you receive a detailed results report with an assessment of your idea, including actual user comments and feedback. The assessment of your idea is benchmarked against hundreds of other evaluations - you'll therefore receive a judgement of how your idea is rated by your target audience compared to other ideas.
