Highlights
- FireHydrant is the only incident management platform driven by deep insights into your services and the people who run them. Built atop a fully-integrated service catalog, FireHydrant allows you to instantly add service owners and experts to incidents, find recent deployments and relevant resources about every application in your stack, and prepare for operational readiness.
- FireHydrant is founded and built by developers who carried the pager. That's why it easily integrates with tools you rely on (like PagerDuty, Jira, and OpsGenie), is fully API-first, includes robust documentation, and can be easily managed with Terraform.

Customer reviews
Automated incident response has improved ownership clarity and data-driven decision making
What is our primary use case?
I used FireHydrant to automate incident response by leveraging its integration capabilities, as well as its customization capabilities to allow me to plug in my existing observability and telemetry tooling, and then configure the platform to respond based off of the incoming telemetry. That telemetry was then used to route between various teams and products inside of the enterprise to better response and to ideally remediate automatically if possible.
How has it helped my organization?
Tracking execution and identifying ownership improved things for my teams because nobody could hide behind a "I didn't know" or "it wasn't a problem" kind of response. As long as deep observabilities were in place, so logs, metrics, and traces, identifying where the issues were and then routing to those teams was critical. This also allowed me to take a data-driven approach in identifying where further R&D needed to happen across the product suite based off of what our customers were actually doing, bypassing biases from sales teams, development teams, and others.
What is most valuable?
The fact that the transposers existed was really what stood out to me in that they allowed me to integrate different systems. Instead of being shoehorned into a list of specific platforms, I could add anything I wanted. They're simple JavaScript. Take an input, massage its output, trigger the automations.
What needs improvement?
The overall configurability of the platform is quite robust, so wrapping natural language interactions around it would be really helpful. I'm thinking about almost replacing SRE teams. Many of the observability platforms are automating away the SRE roles. FireHydrant could probably work in that same world, noticing what observability platforms are doing and more about the why behind it, and then using that to enrich the incident response procedures.
For how long have I used the solution?
What other advice do I have?
I can't recall which cloud provider FireHydrant used for hosting.
I would advise others looking into using FireHydrant to really think through the cultural impact a tool like that can have on the teams. Some teams can be very possessive and resistant to change as they might be a little more legacy in design. Other teams can be quite adoptive of it because it helps them protect the customer experience.
FireHydrant's AI capabilities in terms of governance and security are fine. However, FireHydrant's AI capabilities need to be treated with scrutiny regarding accuracy and reliability of output, and for the provider to be able to instill absolute trust in the user base is very difficult. I would think that allowing the platform to grow with human in the loop feedback with the goal of reducing that feedback over time because it got it right is the right approach.
I give FireHydrant an eight out of ten because it was recently acquired, and when a product is acquired, it brings in some potential concerns. I haven't seen how the acquisition has affected the product as I'm no longer with the company.
Unified incident workflows have improved collaboration and reporting across our teams
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for FireHydrant was incident management, where it was plugged into our monitoring tool, DataDog. From that, we were able to trigger alerts that go into Slack channels, and from Slack channels, we can trigger and create incidents in FireHydrant. FireHydrant later helps us manage the whole incident lifecycle, including mitigation, the process, and it will also create the Zoom bridge and all of that.
FireHydrant helped me manage the incident lifecycle by providing multiple statuses for the incidents. If I recall correctly, there are incident created, mitigated, resolved, and other statuses. During the incident resolution process, we are basically reporting back our process into FireHydrant, which records that. Later, we use all this data to generate the post-incident review document, so this was one way we used FireHydrant.
We were also using FireHydrant Terraform provider to create all the necessary resources inside FireHydrant itself, which was something really valuable for us. Given that I am a senior DevOps engineer, I was managing the platform for multiple teams by mainly providing some Terraform modules that the team could use to create their services inside FireHydrant and to manage the whole incident lifecycle.
How has it helped my organization?
FireHydrant had a great impact on my organization, given we were using it consistently across all the incidents that we had. The incident reports were also consistent, and everyone was following the same template that was deployed inside FireHydrant.
I cannot recall that we tracked specific metrics, but our process was really simple. Whenever a team deploys a new service, we have a dedicated FireHydrant service attached to the actual service, creating a kind of one-to-one mapping between the service, the application, and FireHydrant services. On top of that, FireHydrant does provide metrics such as MTTR and other metrics that people follow as part of their incident management process.
What is most valuable?
I believe one of the best features FireHydrant offers is the Slack integration, which was really helpful, and on top of that, it was able to create Zoom bridges and a few other things that I do not recall anymore.
The Slack integration in particular improved our team's workflow during incidents, as Slack was our main communication tool. From Slack directly, we were able to tag some specific messages inside the incident Slack channel, and FireHydrant was able to gather the relevant Slack messages inside the incident. We were able to generate nice reports based on the conversation happening in Slack.
What needs improvement?
For improvements, I think I have nothing on top of my mind, given I am not using it currently, so nothing special to add.
Back then, I think there were some missing features in their Terraform provider, so that is the only thing that comes into my mind regarding needed improvements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using FireHydrant for about three years, but currently, I am not using it anymore as I used it in my previous company.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using FireHydrant is to properly define your services inside FireHydrant, ensuring that everyone follows the same processes and workflows to avoid inconsistencies between teams and services.
I did not use FireHydrant AI capabilities, so I have nothing to add regarding its governance and security.
I have not used the AI capabilities, so I have nothing to add regarding its accuracy and reliability of output.
FireHydrant was deployed in our organization in a public cloud environment.
We were using AWS, specifically the SaaS version of FireHydrant.
We did not purchase this via the AWS Marketplace.
I would rate FireHydrant around eight on a scale of one to ten because I think it is a great tool that does its job really well.
