For me, the interface is very intuitive; it's easy to find what needs to be done for open incidents. It's also really easy to create services and integrate alert sources and other tools into Squadcast. The mobile app is really good, too; I depend on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SolarWinds IT Incident Response (Squadcast)? There can be a little bit of a learning curve on modifying existing alert sources for a service. I'm used to it now, but that's one area where the UI could use some improvement. I'd also like a little more variety in configuring private status pages. Most of the people who need to see status pages are internal users but they're not Squadcast users. So if I need a private status page, I'd probably use another tool for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SolarWinds IT Incident Response (Squadcast) solving and how is that benefiting you? Squadcast lets me reduce some of the noise from our various monitoring toolsets, so that I can look in one place for alarms that need action taken on them. The alerting features built into a lot of monitoring tools fall short for me, and Squadcast helps me make sure that I'm seeing critical alerts in a single place.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SolarWinds IT Incident Response (Squadcast)? Pricing can be better for bulk users.
