Squadcast has helped us maintain a single source of truth for all critical services that provide alerts. This has helped us reduce MTTR in general. I would highly recommend the use of Squadcast for Incident Management.

Their microservice architecture made it difficult for them to monitor many different services. They also lacked a centralized service management pane for reporting incidents; this is where Squadcast helped. Squadcast’s Service Catalog provides a centralized dashboard for monitoring the health of their services and managing all of their alert sources thus gaining better visibility into services while also taking advantage of instant incident reporting capabilities to lower their Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR).
Lack of a centralized Service Management: Maintaining a microservices architecture meant they had to manually manage multiple services and lacked a centralized service management pane for clarity and visibility.
Service Catalog for centralized Alerting and Reporting: By using Squadcast’s Service Catalog, they now have better visibility of service ownership and health. This makes it easier to handle services of multiple clients.
Manual Alerting Process: Lack of automated alert routing resulted in inefficient alerting, delayed incident acknowledgement, and higher response time.
Automated Alert Routing: With highly configurable Routing Rules the team is now able to route alerts to the right responder(s) based on the tags for faster incident resolution- thanks to Squadcast's Event Tagging and Alert Routing features.
Lack of centralized Incident Dashboard: They needed a centralized incident reporting dashboard because different services in their stack were integrated with different monitoring tools. This made post-incident analysis haphazard.
Centralized Incident Dashboard: Squadcast’s centralized Incident Management dashboard offers a single source of truth for incident data and service health.
