Meet xMatters Free Incident Management Software for Small Teams

In large organizations, many teams are using their own monitoring and communication systems. Each group has its own unique escalation rules. No problem. xMatters Free incident management software puts everything you need to proactively detect and fix issues in the hands of small teams.

We live in a world where things go wrong. Releases fail, servers go down, microservices suffer performance degradation. While incident management assures job security for some, firefighting is never fun (especially when you hear about it from customers or your boss).

If you could plan for an incident before it happened, imagine how much sleep you’d get.

We realize incidents can happen across teams – and each team has its own process and tools to fix them. That’s why we created a platform that ties these things together and leverages automation. But sometimes you need a solution – and you don’t have time to wait for another team to build it out for you.

That’s why we put incident prevention in the hands of small teams.

Take control of your incident management
