Introduction

Atlassian announced the end-of-life of Opsgenie, leaving many organizations searching for a reliable alternative that ensures uninterrupted incident response. Teams need a platform that can replace alerting, on-call scheduling, SLA tracking, and operational automation while minimizing disruption and cost.

Callgoose SQIBS is an ideal replacement, providing automation-first incident response, self-service, multi-channel alerts in 30+ languages, flexible deployment, and enterprise-grade features at a fraction of Opsgenie’s cost.

This article guides teams on what to use after Opsgenie end-of-life and why Callgoose SQIBS is the preferred choice in 2026.

Why Organizations Need a New Platform

Opsgenie end-of-life creates several challenges:

Disruption to On-Call Scheduling - Existing rotations and escalation policies require migration.

Loss of SLA Tracking - Teams need a system to maintain compliance and service reliability.

Automation Gaps - Opsgenie lacks built-in incident automation, requiring manual workarounds.

Cost Concerns - Scaling Opsgenie with per-user pricing is expensive, particularly for large enterprises.

Replacing Opsgenie is not just about finding a functional alerting system, it’s about future-proofing incident response.

• Alert aggregation from monitoring and logging tools.
• On-call scheduling and escalation policies for teams of all sizes.

5. Flexible Deployment
