What do you like best about the product?

Rootly makes incident management much easier by integrating right into Slack and automating a lot of the busy work and enables unique processes for each type of incident. It keeps everything organized, enforces a consistent process, and saves a ton of manual effort. The customizable playbooks and integrations with tools like PagerDuty, Jira, and confluence are super helpful for fitting into different team workflows. AI based incident summarization/RCA drafting in slack is also really neat feature for incident management at scale.

Rootly's customer support as well as initial onboarding experience was very good.

What do you dislike about the product?

One downside of Rootly is that the UI can feel a bit clunky at times, especially when navigating through incidents or setting up custom workflows. Some workflows take a bit of trial and error to get right, and certain integrations could be smoother. Also, while automation is great, there are times when it feels like there are too many notifications or updates in Slack, but overall the slack nagging gets people to action on things.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Rootly helps streamline incident management by automating workflows across JIRA, PagerDuty, and slack by keeping everything organized in Slack, and reducing the manual effort needed to track and resolve incidents in other platforms. It makes it easier to follow a consistent process, ensures key updates don’t get lost, and speeds up response times. The built-in post-mortem feature also helps improve reliability by making it simple to review and learn from past incidents.
