About

What is AlertOps?

AlertOps is an incident management platform that helps IT organizations and DevOps teams manage and optimize their alerts from various monitoring systems to greatly reduce alert fatigue and mean time to resolution (MTTR). AlertOps ensures that the alerts reach the right person the first time, every time.

What are the benefits of purchasing AlertOps?

Ensure a reduction in alert fatigue and MTTR. Your enterprise is our priority and having the ability to track where an incident is in progression and automatically escalating these incidents to the people who need it most.

Alerts

What happens if someone misses an alert?

This is where AlertOps’ escalation policies come in. An alert will be automatically escalated to the next user on call until an alert is acknowledged by a recipient. Manual paging allows you to alert multiple teams at once to a conference bridge so you can reach the right people. We also have options for on-call scheduling and live call routing.

Do you support international SMS and calls?

International SMS and calls are available for both premium and enterprise packages. Our enterprise clients receive unlimited* international SMS and calls while our premium package offers up to 25 SMS and calls per user per month.

Integrations

How do integrations work?

We offer inbound integrations for all our customers and enterprise integrations to our enterprise customers.

Is there a limit to how many integrations I can have?

All AlertOps accounts have access to unlimited* inbound integrations. Premium customers are limited to 1 inbound integration, while CWM MSP package customers have access to 3. Enterprise-level customers additionally have the opportunity for enterprise integrations.
