Squadcast

End-to-end incident response platform with ML-based Intelligent Alert Grouping that reduces noise by grouping related alerts, AI-generated incident summaries, Auto Pause Transient Alerts for suppressing ephemeral flapping, and Past Incident Insights for historical pattern matching. SLO dashboards connect incident response to reliability engineering.

Overview

Squadcast is an incident response platform combining on-call management, ML-based alert grouping, and SLO-aware escalation. The Intelligent Alert Grouping engine clusters related alerts from observability sources into single incidents using ML, reducing queue volume before it reaches on-call engineers. Auto Pause Transient Alerts suppresses flapping ephemeral alerts that resolve and re-fire within a short window.

SLO dashboards connect incident severity to reliability targets: incidents that breach or threaten an SLO escalate faster than those within error budget tolerance. Past Incident Insights surfaces similar historical incidents and their resolutions during active response.

Acquired by SolarWinds in 2025. Free tier: basic on-call and alert routing. AI features require Pro or Enterprise.

Key Features

  • Intelligent Alert Grouping: ML clusters related alerts from Datadog, Prometheus, CloudWatch, and 100+ sources into single incidents, reducing on-call queue volume before engineers engage
  • Auto Pause Transient Alerts: suppresses flapping alerts that trigger and resolve within a configurable window — prevents ephemeral infrastructure noise from creating spurious incidents
  • SLO-aware escalation: connects incident severity to SLO error budget state — incidents threatening SLO breach escalate automatically to senior responders rather than the standard rotation queue
  • Past Incident Insights: matches active incidents against historical records and surfaces resolutions and runbooks that addressed similar situations in the past
  • On-call lifecycle management: rotation schedules, escalation policies, override management, and multi-channel notifications (phone, SMS, Slack, email, Teams) in one platform
  • AI-generated incident summaries: produces structured summaries of grouped incidents for stakeholder communication without manual status writing during active response
