Excellent tool for incident management
What do you like best about the product?
It is capable of being integrated with multiple platforms, such as Slack and Jira.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not have anything from my own, but some coworkers do not like the number of notifications, for instance, migrating a conversation from a regular channel to the Slack firehydrant incident channel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The use of IA for post-mortem reports is great. It saves a lot of time and give great reports.

Feature rich platform for incident response integrations and automations
What do you like best about the product?
Runbooks and automations via third-party applications that allow us to streamline our incident process. Slack commands and module allow users to stay within slack during incidents. Command Center is what I use most because it is a central view with information organized for quick access and edits. New features like the AI summary is a time-saver!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could toggle features in our settings or have more freedom to customize our experiences, both for the company and specific departments. Would like to see more advance settings for third-party applications we can integrate with, and more specific conditions that we can trigger in runbooks (ex. labels).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a platform that allows us to build out our incident response process and integrate third-party tools in one central place. We can auto-declare incidents based off alerts, declare different types of incidents, page different teams, have runbooks perform different steps based off certain conditions, and gather metrics. We can also track betterments and lessons learned from the PIR.
Incident Management simplified
What do you like best about the product?
From my perspective, FireHydrant is a really solid incident management tool. What impresses me most is how it brings order to chaos and helps incident commanders instill calm in a reactive situation. I really dig how it guides you through the whole incident process, from the initial alert to the final post-mortem, which is super helpful in expediting root cause analysis to senior leadership. I love the automated runbooks; they basically take the guesswork out of responding, which saves a ton of time and stress. Although we have just begun to scratch the surface with their usefulness i look forward to going deeper.
When it comes to teamwork, it's fanfriggintastic – everyone can collaborate easily within the platform. Plus, the post-mortem features are continually evolving and generally helpful for learning and improving. It really pushes for a blameless culture, which I appreciate.
For alert management, it integrates smoothly with our monitoring tools. Overall, I find FireHydrant to be a powerful and user-friendly platform that makes incident response much more manageable.

FireHydrant is a great solution for incident response and alerting.
What do you like best about the product?
FireHydrant is a great solution for incident response and alerting. The incident response runbooks are flexible and customizable for each team to tailor their experience for how their services are supported. Their Signals on-call, escalations, and alerting features allow for many applications to aggregate into the system providing a solution to have all alerting in one spot while not having to use the same monitoring tools. The FireHydrant team are great partners to work with when a new need arises, we work together to create effective solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every system has different features and they are not all the same. Why would they be? Managing users and expectations is always the hardest part of administering a solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FireHydrant allows for the organization to have a foundational incident response framework while allowing for teams to customize their usage as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of complete customization and flexibility
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrating everything for our incident management needs and making our TTX faster
Using Blameless to help run incidents
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Slack is a huge plus as it helps notify our teams that an incident has started and pulls them in quickly. The Comms Flow feature is a nice way to prompt teams during incidents to keep the incident moving along. The flexibility of configuring and using tags to capture important information our company needs for incidents is also a nice feature that we use a lot. Customer support is great and quick to answer our questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting and gathering information concerning the whole picture of an incident (basic incident information and retrospectives specifically) is challenging. We use Reliability Insights but the 10 field limit makes it very difficult to build the reports that we want to build for analyzing our incidents month to month. We have built a manual export process to google sheets to fill the gaps. This is an area in which we struggle the most.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assisting with the running of an incident and gathering the right people in to a centralized place (Slack) to handle the incident. Blameless helps us to centralize our incident processes and information in one place which is helpful to our company.
