"A comprehensive software to fit a wide range of companies"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

Blameless integrates well with many different platforms including Jira and Slack. The interface is pretty easy to use and figure out. The most recent customer support has been very helpful and theyve made strides to improve their customer sucess department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

There is still a lot of manual work that needs to be done in incidents that I feel like could be streamlined or made easier through a software like blameless. Although the integrations are easy, some of the integrations with Jira seem limited to what information you can pass over. Because Jira can be filled with custom fields, it still requires manual effort to make sure that the information gets populated correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Incident Management Software"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

Blameless is really easy to configure and navigate once you get familliar with the tools they offer. Comms Flow is a nice a feature that allows some great automation of messages and notifications to be sent out during various stages of the incident. Their support has also been very quick and friendly with anything I've needed. Definitely a tool I use everyday so I've been pleased with the support and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

If you're new to incident management, understanding the methodology behind it can take a minute to get used to before you're really leveraging the full power of Blameless, but their support team is super helpful in bringing you up to speed. If you're familiar with incident management, it's a breeze to get acquainted with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Managing Incidents with Blameless"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

Blameless allows us to manage incidents with ease. The integrations with slack and PagerDuty drives quick notifications to the broader team which has significantly reduced our time to identify and time to resolution.

Our newest Customer Support Manager has been great! In her first week, she was able to correct the issues we were facing with the UI and has provided solid communication as we work together to identify how Blameless can help us achieve our 2024 goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

Blameless continues to release additional features that improves the experience for us as a user/incident manager. Minor changes have impacted our experience - not being able to use capital letters in our tagging. The Blameless team has been open to our feedback and works to make the necessary changes.

"Easy, Effective, and now better than ever with Signals"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

Firehydrant has been a game changer for our teams for creating a culture of blameless incident response. The interface (Slack) is easy to use, easy to set up, and now with Signals, brings a revolutionary approach to on-call life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

The web UI has left a bit to be desired - especially in the realm of analytics. This is an area where new features coming out now are bringing some improvement but our teams have had to invest in building some robust data pipeline tools to create our own analytics tooling on the data from Firehydrant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Kavanagh of FireHydrant

Hear you loud and clear on the analytics front. The recent update was just the starting place for surfacing more insight through analytics and we've got more planned throughout the year.

"Blameless helping to improve Space Operations"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

The ability to track customer and incident time as separate timespans on the same incident. This allows our team to calculate how long an incident takes to fully resolve when any customer affected services are involved and have been fully addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

The need to make specific queries and additional calculations to report all associated tags and resolution times for an incident. Currently, the queries automatically multiples the incident time by the number of tags reported. It would be nice if there were easier ways to collect and report this info. Also, the inability to link incidents together for related follow-on incidents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Blameless to help run incidents"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FireHydrant has been a key part of our incident maturation process"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

FireHydrant offers a tremendous amount of flexibility for incident automation and visibility. We've had a seamless transition onto the platform and responsive support when small quirks emerged.

FireHydrant has been effectively adopted by the entire engineering org, and initial internal satisfaction has been high.

There are a ton of additional incident process and platform improvements that previously felt pie in the sky, but FireHydrant's flexible runbooks, integrations and webhook capabilities make them actionable to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

We are still figuring out how to map many discrete systems in our technology stack to the right unlocks in FireHydrant. This includes things like how to keep the catalogs and teams fresh. Thus far, hasn't been a major pain point though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Kavanagh of FireHydrant

We'd love to work on those pain points together even if they're minor. Give your CSM a shout or feel free to reach out to me (Erin) directly: ekavanagh at firehydrant dot com.

"Reliable Incident Response Product"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

It streamlines the Incident response process by automating cumbersome tasks like creating a slack channel, audio bridge, and adding responders to a triage. It is also easily integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

No downside. Maybe some features regarding stakeholder communications would be a possible enhancement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Erin Kavanagh of FireHydrant

We've got some things in the works to that'll give status page updates a boost but would love to hear more about what you're thinking on the stakeholder comms front. Give your CSM a shout or feel free to email me directly: ekavanagh at firehydrant dot com.

"Unblock your engineers from focusing on incidents"
What do you like best about FireHydrant?

I love that Blameless allows engineers to focus on whats important, remediating the incident. Integrating within slack allows for engineers to open, document, and resolve incidents from within their standard communcations tool.

With Blameless, Machinify leverages weekly retrospectives to give the broader team awareness in what went wrong throughout the week and how we can avoid it in the future. Reliability insights enables engineering managers to view open incidents, time to resolution and identify patterns within incidents over the past week.

As we continue to rely on Blameless at our organization, engineers continue to focus on excellence when it comes to operating our platform.

Blameless customer support is focused on ensuring all customers are enabled and unblocked throughout their use of the product.

Our organization has over 2000 incidents using Blameless, and we use it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FireHydrant?

I wish there was more automation around communication, remediation and documentation of incidents within Blameless.

I would love to see more power behind reliability insights and SLOs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aaron Lober of FireHydrant

We're thrilled to hear that Blameless has helped your organization improve transparency, remove toil in the incident process, and facilitate root cause analysis. We understand your desire for more automation and power behind reliability insights and SLOs, and we'll definitely consider this as we continue to enhance our platform.
