## Dead Man's Snitch Reviews
  ### 1. Dead Man's Snitch puts trust behind automations

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Drew F. | Manager, Market Implementation Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2021

**What do you like best about Dead Man's Snitch?**

It enables me as a manager to set it and forget it with automation lanes without having the worry of these potential actions failing and us reactively figuring this out.

**What do you dislike about Dead Man's Snitch?**

I think the UI can be a little un-intuitive sometimes, but I know that things have improved over time and trust it will continue to head in the right direction.

**What problems is Dead Man's Snitch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Monitoring data transfers/intakes from our clients via integrations and ensuring that we can trust that the data is clean inbound every time.

  ### 2. Easily set up notifications for cron / scheduled tasks

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jonathon S. | Senior Software Engineer (PHP), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2020

**What do you like best about Dead Man's Snitch?**

Very easy to set up for tasks you just need basic monitoring on whether they ran successfully when they were expected to. Easily able to be integrated with other systems, we use it with Rundeck, Slack,  and VictorOps. Adding a new snitch when we create new tasks that need to be monitored takes very little time.

**What do you dislike about Dead Man's Snitch?**

There are a few more options for setting expected run times that would be helpful to avoid false alerts. The biggest help would be to be able to set days you don't expect something to run, such as tasks that only run on weekdays end up alerting on the weekends, unless you set up multiple alerts for each day of the week.

**What problems is Dead Man's Snitch solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use it for monitoring tasks that run via crontabs on servers, as well as via Rundeck. It has helped us greatly reduce issues caused by tasks that didn't run when expected, and allowed us to fix said issues much faster than in the past, when it could take us days to realize something wasn't correctly working.
