Introduction

In 2025, organizations evaluating incident response platforms are increasingly focused on return on investment (ROI) rather than feature checklists alone. While PagerDuty is a well-established alerting platform, many teams are reassessing whether its pricing model and add-on costs deliver sufficient ROI compared to newer, automation-first alternatives.

Callgoose SQIBS approaches incident response from a cost-efficiency and automation-driven ROI perspective, helping organizations reduce operational overhead while improving uptime.

How ROI Is Measured in Incident Response

ROI is typically influenced by:

• Total cost of ownership (licensing + tools)
• Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)
• On-call workload and fatigue
• Downtime and business impact
• Headcount growth requirements

PagerDuty ROI Considerations

PagerDuty delivers value through reliable alerting, but ROI can be impacted by:

• Per-user pricing that scales with team size
• Additional costs for automation and orchestration
• Manual remediation increasing labor costs
• Longer MTTR due to alert-first workflows

How Callgoose SQIBS Improves ROI

Automation-Driven Resolution - Fewer manual interventions

Predictable Pricing - No per-user cost escalation

Reduced Tool Sprawl - One platform instead of many

Lower MTTR - Faster recovery, less downtime

ROI Comparison Snapshot

Verdict
