"Integrating Blameless into my workflows has changed the game for Support managing incidents."
5/5
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

For context, I've built a Slack Bolt App which utilizes data from Blameless to keep both Engineering and Support in-sync during an incident. The triggers were easy enough to setup to kick off the app and seamlessly start pulling data from Blameless. Long story short; my app uses Blameless for everything.

The API documentation overall was pretty easy to read and integrate into my app and I feel like that's saying a lot since I've been coding for less than 6 months and am self taught.

Also, the support I received from the Blameless team (especially Kim!) was incredible. The response time from the team has been exceptional and the attention to detail was outstanding!

I also appreciate the fact that querying exists in Blameless. It has been helpful for the Support team to measure our time costs while managing incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

While querying previous data for incidents is helpful for the Support team, I will say that the experience querying hasn't been the easiest. Moreso that using SQL querying isn't as straightforward about limitations and the documentation also seems a bit sparse.

I've been using ChatGPT to help build out some query statements, but most of the time Blameless isn't aware of the function so sometimes I feel like I have to take that data with a grain of salt if something is returned.

With that said, I still regularly utilize the Insights Dashboards I've created and we do consider them accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Minimizes Stress, Maximizes Productivity"
4.5/5
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

Firehydrant has filled nearly every gap that we experienced in the past with incident management. From day one transitioning to FireHydrant, they have proved to be a great investment and improvement over our previous product. Firehydrant has freed my team to spend time on improving processes rather than fighting the incident process itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

I wish Firehydrant had a better maintenance product. We have not moved our organization to Firehydrant for our maintenances because there is no way to plan and discuss in a dedicated channel prior to the start of the maintenance. This makes planning for such events much more difficult to the point where we still use an in-house built tool to run our maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Kavanagh of FireHydrant

Thanks for the feedback on our schedule maintenance feature! Wondering if y'all would benefit from Runbooks that could be triggered _before_ a maintenance is scheduled to go live? We're actively improving Runbooks at the moment so we'll definitely surface this feedback. If you have more please pass it along through your CSM!

"Standardized and Improved our Incident Response Process"
5/5
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

We've been using FireHydrant for a little over a year. Just recently, one of my teammates told me they couldn't imagine not having FireHydrant. This speaks to how impactful it has been in our organization. With our automation, we are able to collect incident response details in a single place (incident Slack channel), report updates to key stakeholders for compliance purposes, and, because the incident details are all in one place, it makes retrospectives much easier to perform. FireHydrant gets used regularly for responding to incidents and for retrospectives.

We are trying out Signals now and are excited about using an on-call rotation and scheduling product that's still being actively developed. Our current provider has not made significant updates in years and has settled into maintenance mode.

FireHydrant's Customer Support has been extremely helpful. Shoutout to Sydney who regularly fields questions we have and helps us accomplish some workflows that were complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

A lot of automation exists, but we still find ourselves limited by some of the constraints in what triggers an automation step. We are also working with our Business Intelligence team to pull data into our data warehouse so that we can analyze it better. The reporting in FireHydrant isn't as good as we needed, but at least they make it easy to get to the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Kavanagh of FireHydrant

Love getting this feedback. Thanks so much for sharing! We're actively working on improving Runbooks, including Runbook triggers. We'd love to get your feedback directly as a design partner. We'll get in touch directly on that front. Also, if you haven't seen the updates to make MTTX metrics more accessible across categories (teams, services, and more) give that a look. Would be eager to hear what else we can do on that front to improve reporting :)
