Trusted by our customers
Automate incident creation, response workflows, communication channels and tasks. This enables your response teams to focus on stabilization rather than manual coordination.
Intelligent notifications, on-call schedules and escalation workflows ensure that the right people are immediately engaged with the right context when an incident occurs.
The service catalog, dependencies and ownership make it clear which services are affected and which teams need to be involved in the response.
Run incidents directly in Slack or Microsoft Teams while maintaining a shared operational view through automated timelines, alerts and updates.
AI-generated incident summaries quickly clarify the situation, timeline and impact. Drafts for status updates and retrospectives help keep internal and external stakeholders appropriately informed.
Retrospectives, incident analytics and action tracking help you understand root causes and patterns, measure response times and continuously improve service reliability.
