Integrating Blameless into my workflows has changed the game for Support managing incidents.
What do you like best about the product?
For context, I've built a Slack Bolt App which utilizes data from Blameless to keep both Engineering and Support in-sync during an incident. The triggers were easy enough to setup to kick off the app and seamlessly start pulling data from Blameless. Long story short; my app uses Blameless for everything.
The API documentation overall was pretty easy to read and integrate into my app and I feel like that's saying a lot since I've been coding for less than 6 months and am self taught.
Also, the support I received from the Blameless team (especially Kim!) was incredible. The response time from the team has been exceptional and the attention to detail was outstanding!
I also appreciate the fact that querying exists in Blameless. It has been helpful for the Support team to measure our time costs while managing incidents.

What do you dislike about the product?
While querying previous data for incidents is helpful for the Support team, I will say that the experience querying hasn't been the easiest. Moreso that using SQL querying isn't as straightforward about limitations and the documentation also seems a bit sparse.
I've been using ChatGPT to help build out some query statements, but most of the time Blameless isn't aware of the function so sometimes I feel like I have to take that data with a grain of salt if something is returned.
With that said, I still regularly utilize the Insights Dashboards I've created and we do consider them accurate.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blameless is providing an accessible platform allowing our Support Team to stay aligned with Engineering on all incidents requiring customer support. It drives our IncidentBot Slack app which tracks our incident work in real time. Without it, we'd probably have to rebuild an entire system just to keep our Support Team on the same page.
Easy to work with
What do you like best about the product?
The people dedicate hans-on time to help onboard and continually support your incident management configuration needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some additional features that we would like to see built into the product but their product team has been really receptive to these feature requests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized incident managment. It benefits us by streamlining processes and improving efficiency.
Great Incident Management Software
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick Incident identification and bringing in the right people to triage. Being able to require specific frameworks with how incidents are run and how retrospectives should be defined is incredibly useful, gives out a lot of good metrics to work with from a reporting standpoint.
FireHydrant has been a key part of our incident maturation process
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use FireHydrant for incident coordination and analytics.
Blameless is an integral part of Leolabs incident management
What do you like best about the product?
The slack integration is particularly solid, enjoy the fact that I dont need to leave slack to complete an incident end to end.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inbuilt reliability insights are clunky and less than useful. Actually easier to export all incident data using the API and manipulate in a third party tool. Slack integration is great however it would be even better if more functions were integrated. Completion of retrospectives in slack would be excellent
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Leolabs has a need to coordinate incident management across multiple sites and timezones and blameless makes it easy to ensure that all this communication is occurring in one place
Great company with a great product!
What do you like best about the product?
FireHydrant teams listens to feedback and makes lots of improvements to their products via feature requests. Their customer support responds quite quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes you need to use workarounds to make certain integrations work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When an issue arises, being able to have everyone on the same tool, following the same process in a standardized way. Having integrations with Zoom and Slack and the ability to kick off an incident very quickly to investigate allows us to focus on mitigation.
Blameless is the engine that runs our Incident Program.
What do you like best about the product?
Blameless helped us establish the framework for our Incident Program. Everything runs through Blameless, from starting incidents to running our retrospectives and collecting incident metrics. Our Blameless CSM Matthew is also excellent. He has been with us since the beginning and has done everything possible to assist and help us.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few functionalities are a total head-scratcher and sometimes work against us. The good news is that Blameless is always committed to take these to their backlog and worked on them. Since our time with Blameless, I have seen some functionality be improved based on feedback, so there is hope.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blameless is the framework for which we launch our incident command. It also acts as our de facto data collection for our incident metrics and integration into all our tools.
Reliable Incident Response Product
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downside. Maybe some features regarding stakeholder communications would be a possible enhancement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its used as our main incident response tool. It enables the team to focus on driving incidents rather than going through mundane manual processes of creating channels and audio bridges. More attention can be paid to the task at hand
Managing Incidents with Blameless
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Blameless as a mechanism to report, manage, and resolve client impacting incidents. Consistently entering tickets to report incidents has allowed us to measure the time it takes to identify the issue and the time it takes to provide resolution. Leveraging the tags in Blameless helped us identify a pattern of incidents post new release and enabled us to track specific product issues.
