Hey folks. Co-founder of incident.io here.

Firstly, thanks for the kind words Quentin – appreciate it, and congrats on your progress so far.

incident.io is pitched slightly differently to Rootly, insomuch as we're not building an engineering product, but instead something that's designed to work for entire organisations. I saw first hand what this looks like at Monzo – a bank here in the UK – where incidents weren't just declared when Cassandra fell over (ahem, https://monzo.com/blog/2019/09/08/why-monzo-wasnt-working-on...), but were also declared for things like excessive customer support queries and not enough people to serve them, regulatory issues, or a customer threatening staff in reception. All of these things require teams to form quickly, communicate well, and follow a process. We're building for this.

In terms of market and customer segments, we're working with a wide range of companies with up to 6k employees. That said, we're a perfect fit right now for folks in the 200-1500 people range.

By all means reach out if you have any questions.

Oh and if you're not in the market to buy something, I open sourced the tool I originally wrote at Monzo: https://github.com/monzo/response
The open source option from Netflix is quite popular too: https://github.com/Netflix/dispatch
