Squadcast is a good tool for critical alerting
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible alerting. Able to manage a dynamic set of users who might be on call for urgent events.
What do you dislike about the product?
Until you install theh Squadcast app and manage all your alerts through that the phone interface can be a bit frustrating to navigate. Failure to manage the alerts will cause Squadcast to hound you (not a bad thing if no one is paying attention). However, once you have the app it is mindless ot properly manage the alert stream and silence it once the alert has been properly acknowledged.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a pool of people comprising an upstream vendor's technical staff and our own. Each side has folks responsible for alerts depending on the time and day. This seamlessly manages that and is relentless in making sure someone knows that an extremely critical event is going once an approved person acknowledges what is going on, it quits chasing the others.
Works great for our needs!

Squadcast is easier to use than other platforms I've tried. It gets the job done and I spend less time in this tool than I have in other tools I've used.

Can't really think of anything that I dislike.

Incident management
Good At a Niche
What do you like best about the product?
I think Squadcast very solidly offers what it says on the box. It fulfills my needs solidly and without too many bells and whistles but gives a ton of flexibility. It's a big step up from using slack or email.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the defaults could be better and I do wish there was a cleaner way to handle specific notifications as higher priority via phone but I'm not sure that's technically feasible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for on call alerting.
Simplified Alert Management
What do you like best about the product?
The UI to the web interface and app are easy to use and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many things I dislike. Sometimes refreshing the feed on the app doesn't work and I have to quit / re-open the app.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having alerts come from hundreds of different places is hard to manage via email or other methods. Consolidating all these alerts into a system like Squadcast has saved hours of time.
Incident Management
What do you like best about the product?
We switched to Squadcast from Pagerduty. We found that the interface was similar and intuitive, and had all of the necessary functionality. It was a pretty seamless transition, even or our various integrations with Slack and Jira.
What do you dislike about the product?
The on-call calendar view can be confusing, especially when there are overrides or exporting the calendar view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping a rotating schedule of on call engineers, so someone is always available and notified of any incident.

Being able to see other incidents that may have impacted your services as well. Being able to create teams, schedules, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a lot. I haven't found a super easy way to configure it, but that may be the nature of the beast. And since it's an on call type of system, you naturally hate it regardless of product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps a playbook, on call schedule so when our team services break, our command center has a place and people to contact.
