FAQs

Q: PagerDuty has some incident management capabilities, how is this different? A: When it comes to incident management capabilities, there is some overlap between Rootly and PagerDuty. However, Rootly provides a more complete and centralized incident management platform and on call solution. Q: Should I keep paying for PagerDuty or does Rootly replace it? A: With the release of Rootly On-Call, Rootly can serve as a wholesale replacement for PagerDuty. Check out how they compare. Note: Rootly will continue to support integrated paging solutions like PagerDuty. Q: I don’t use PagerDuty, is that okay? A: Robust incident management practices generally leverage an on-call provider. Rootly does not require an on-call provider if your use case does not require it. Q: I’m getting a Failed to authenticate. Reason: Invalid Credentials message when I try to authenticate my PagerDuty account. What is happening? A: Chances are you are trying to authenticate with a Trial PagerDuty account that has expired. Check your PD account to make sure it is still active.
